i was wondering wats the dif form a cheap boards and expensive 1s ....cuz i have a real cheap 1 and i cant ollie on it at all..............:-10:

You can't ollie because (1)You don't know how to or (2)You aren't practicing enough. 90% of the time when people complain about not being able to do tricks, etc. it's usually not the deck.

Depends on how much you took care of the deck. If its not warped and still has pop and is a comfortable size then it should be just fine.

By cheap decks I hope you mean blanks. No graphic decks. Those aren't bad at all.

^^^Cheap as in Wal Mart I think

[DCsKaTeR]

Oh haha. Wow. Well those $20 full boards. First of all the wheels suck, the bearings suck even worse. The decks have poor pop and concave if they even are concaved. The trucks can be really crappy. The grit on the griptape can come off and leave grip that looks like electric tape... Those are really not worth it.

Keep it until you can ollie and kickflip, then get a blank or something.

I'd say no matter WHAT get the expensive board, they feel and skate better, PLUS...
I bought two blank decks for $30 off of a website, broke in less than a week...

Then you got bad ones or you landed wrong. If a crappy pro board feels better than a good blank board, you're hallucinating.

if you cant at least ollie on a walmart, then your not going to be able to do shit else on a real deck.
