Well I've never tried it so what don't you like about it? and what would you reccomend instead? keep in mind I have size 13 shoes so I need atleast a 7.7 board.

^ I'd try a Anti-Hero, Krooked, or Real deck.

You might want to consider changing your deck choice from dwindle distribution, to something else. Tum Yeto, deluxe, Kayo would be good.

just almost is weak wood, and bad shape. try habitat, alien workshop, toy machine, pig, foundatin, real, anti-hero, krooked, dgk, organika, expedition one, zoo york, etc.

Whats a dwindle? I'm not new but I just started skating again after a 2 year break, and it seems like alot has changed in that time. BTW I need an extra strong board I have a tendency to stomp down my tricks really hard and broke 2 boards in a month on flatground. I not fat I'm actually pretty skinny 150lb 6' but I need something strong thats why I was thinking about gettting that Almost because of the resin supposed be making it stronger. But I guess not so Is there any specific extra strong 7.75 board you can reccomend?

What do you guys think Zero?

dwindle distributes almost decks. and dont get zero, they suck too. habitat/aws/real/krooked/antihero/toymachine/pig/foundation/dgk/organika/expeditionone/zooyork choose one

Well i always thought almost's were pretty good. But my friend got one and he seemed to like it ok. It was resin 8 and we were skating. He kept missing this trick so he stomped down on it(not enough force that should break a board at all) and it snapped. It was about 1 and 1/2 weeks old. If you tend to break boards easily. I would not get an almost.
