Whats a good blank deck from blankdecks.com? I have the Canadian blank and it's alright... But I want something with a lot of pop that will keep it for a long time. My Canadian blank was decent at first, but now it has that soggy feel you get with old boards. I heard the California blanks were good, as well as the Sturdy Mold. Some say the house special is good. I'm in a situation where whatever I get has to last because I'm short on cash. Breaking boards is never really a problem for me, so I just need something that will keep it's pop. I know you guys get alot of stupid topics like this, but I really couldn't gather enough info from the 12425 other topics I looked through. All input is appreciated. Thanks

Ive had the sturdy mold and it holds up unbeleivably(sp?) good. Probably the best deck ive ever skated. Im about to order ten of them because i like them so much.

Thank ya sir. I got this crazy mowing job from a rich neighbor so I'll be trying a few of them out for myself. California will definately be my first.

How long have you been skating those? I had a shop blank before and it was CRAP and now my Canadian Blank is alright but I want something nice for a change

my california was amazing. lasted me 2 months in the summer. i tried a canadian blank and hated it. haven't skated a blank since that though. but my buddy buys a 10 pack of california blanks with 20 sheets of black magic every christmas.

For me they lasted about a month or longer. But it also depends on how hard you gunna be skating.

I skate mainly rails and a few pretty small drops. There's alot to skate in my town but I never have a way to get to most of the skate spots since I live in a rural area and it's a looong walk into town. Boards usually never break for me. Instead, they get really old and lose their pop so I just snap them or stop skating them. So mainly I just want something that has good pop and will keep it.

well if you getting a decent amount of money i suggest a Fight Warbird. Pop lasts ages, myn lasted 7 months!!!! pop started going after 5. Mind you i started as a beginner on that board. But ive learned alot since i have had it.

That was the only place to get a Fight! so I guess you have to get a blank.

Haha screw my luck. Oh well, ignorance is bliss. If I dont know how good a Fight is, then a blank is just as good. But the sticky at the top recommends Fight boards more than any other. poopy

I just found out the Fight! site is down. It sucks because I was gonna get a Fight! myself. They're always AWS or Toy Machines.

the california blank is your best bet. it's the cheapest and strongest. i've never skated a sturdy mold tho. you won't go wrong with either though. if you want a brand deck, www.evileds.com is where it's at. you can buy bulk brand name decks for pretty cheap too. he gets you on shipping, but whatever, it's still cheap. i'm getting like 3 habitats off there soon.

If the Fight! site isnt up within the next few weeks then I'll probably just get a sturdy mold or cali blank. I want one of them Fight boards though. Is there a difference in the warbird and the other one?
FIGHT!
