i know element sucks, BUT...

[bucksaw87]

i have the opportunity to get a barely-used 02 or 03 element deck with venture trucks for a very reasonable price...like, less than $20...were elements crap in 02 or 03? i might just go for this deck anyway...any opinions?

[loganownzj00]

just get it.

the trucks alone should be at least 20 bucks.

and i think element was on giant in 02 or 03.

i may be wrong though.

I don't know man. Wood sitting around for that long, would get moisture in it.

[Greenday]

Just get it and sell the Element to some die-hard element fan for more than it's worth.

[bucksaw87]

if this helps, i prolly won't be using it for tricks and stuff...IF it is used at all for parks or whatever, it'll only be in a mini-ramp...i'm thinking either re-mount the trucks on the kicktails and try it out for a sliding deck, or cut it up and use it for a slalom board

[skizzate]

Just get it. $20 is pretty good for any deck, exspecially if it comes with trucks.

[giantsfan7791]

get it as some element can actually be good. or you can throw some soft wheels on it and use it as a filming board.

[DCsKaTeR]

Element isn't the worst. There's a lot of worse decks out there.

[AdioBird52]

I'd buy it just for the ventures.

[vansokc]

its a deck, and trucks. i would get if for sure.
if you find someone you could make twice as much off the element and sell it to someone. well if its a old graphic sell it on ebay or something.

[giantsfan7791]

or throw on some rictas or softer wheels and make a great, cheap filming board. plus, since it's an element, you don't have to feel guilty about not bringing out it's full potential.

[Grinding God]

Yeah I seem to recall Element being pretty good back in the day ( a few years ago)

[spenser]

it was definitely more than a few years ago.

[lem201314]

i'm using one of element's old board model like probably 01 or 02 model

and i think its pretty good and has alot of pop not like the new element which is kinda soggy
