i was surfing through forums and i found this thing about decks and thought it was pretty cool. i hope it helps out people who post along the lines of "what kind of deck should i get?"

POPWAR- Keep there pop for a long time, medium concave, one of the favorite decks on Skaterscafe right now. (Highly recommended)

ELEMENT- Don't get an element. not as much pop as other boards, odd shapes, they have alot of concave but the feel of the board isn't right. (Not recommended).

FLIP- These decks have great pop and awesome concave...while they last. Tend to loose pop fairly quick, and are one of the weaker decks. (Moderately recommended).

TOY MACHINE- Great board, nice concave, awesome pop. They last for a long time and are pretty strong. (Highly recommended).

DARKSTAR- Not and overall great board, pretty good concave and pop while it lasts. Board gets 'soggy' after awhile. (Moderately Recommended).

BLIND- Not talked about much because people know these boards aren't very good. Ok pop and concave, but they loose them fast. (Not Recommened).

WORLD INDUSTRIES- Same as Blind.^

GIRL- Good mellow pop, nice concave, pretty good deck all around. A little on the weaker side, but not by much. (Moderately recommended).

THINK- Good deck. Nice concave and pop. Fairly strong. (Moderately recmmended).

ENJOI- They sound like a pretty nice deck to the people that owned them. Fairly strong, good concave and pop. (Moderately recommended).

BAKER- A good deck for the short time they last. Nort very strong, but nice pop and concave. (Moderately recommended).

ALIEN WORKSHOP- Great deck, nice concave, lots of pop, strong board that lasts a long time. (Highly recommended).

HABITAT- Good deck, nice pop and cancave. These decks are nice and stiff and will last for a long time. (Highly recommended).

CHOCOLATE- Good deck, same as Girl. Mellow concave, nice pop, pretty flxible board though, not very stiff. (Moderately recommended).

ZOO YORK- nice concave, awesome pop, stiff, not the longest lasting deck, but not close to being ******. I loved my Zoo York. (Highly recommended).

REAL / KROOKED / RASA LIBRE / ANTI-HERO - Deluxe distribution, what else is there to say? Superb construction, shape, pop, everything.

KAYO boards (DGK, Expedition, Organika) - Kickass boards. Performs superbly, and lasts a good while. only downside is finding bigger sized kayo boards... kinda hard to find a 7.75 or higher. (highly recommended)
