review of Almost decks.

alright, ive had loads of enjois in the past. i think my last one i had was about 9 months ago... newho, i picked up an almost one day. it was a greg lutzka 'incorrect' board. i figure it be the same as enjois since its from dwindle. well, i skated it that day at this plaza and a 6 stair. i do my tricks. nollied off a ledge thing at the plaza, kickflipped the 6. whatever. thought it was decent, it felt kinda iffy but it did feel just like my past enjois... its been about a week, and the board is poop. chipped to hell, no pop left, i realized that im no longer used to monster mold, skates like shit. took all my energy just to get it to pop right down an 8 stair.. the deck still looks like it would do its stuff but appearances can be decieving. so, i give almost decks.. 4 outta 10.

Try a Baker if you want pop, or just go Blank...Ephie has an Almost and he was acting like a retard last time I was over his house and he chucked it on the street and chipped a nice hunk out of the Tail or nose I can't remember all I know is they chip, it was alright to Skate on for me but didn't have the pop my Baker does.

I got an almost about 2 months ago. It's the yellow rodney mullen one and its the best deck i've had so far. It's the only deck i have that i can land kickflips on, all of my other decks float away in mid air when i try kickflips with them, this one does em nice. I've also noticed that it has been the most durable board i've had yet, and it has the most pop. 2 months now and its not chipped.

Just to let you know, my other decks were... blank from kmart (1 1/2 months), birdhouse tony hawk mini (1 month), birdhouse team (2 weeks), black label team (2 weeks), and my almost which has lasted 2 months so far. The way things are looking i can probably get another month out of it.

I love my Almost
I got the Original HW pink, it still has its pop; it's not poopy; I don't know how u ride ur board, but I do flateland stuff, and it's not cracked.
oh BakerStencil, my board didn't chip, it left a nick

Actually the Greg Lutzka "Wrong" series board doesn't have "monster Mold" concaves, it has the "Control Plus" concave.
