ok, i recently bought an ATM because the skateshop said it would be a good and very strong beginners board. Ive had it for three weeks and i snapped it boardsliding. it was a really heavy and week board. What is a strong board that is fairly light. no elements. i dont like em. i was thinking about possibly an Alien Work Shop? :confused:

Alien workshops are the ideal deck for beginners, i used them a lot when i started (and i'm presuming you're a beginner cause your asking for advice on choosing a deck from a skateshop) and now i'm hooked, they're basicaly mediocre in everything, medium strong, medium pop, medium weight and so on and so forth.

Zero's are probably good for you, but I hear they're kinda heavy . . .

cliche is a skateboard company based in france w/ some of the most underrated yet some of the best skaters listed on their team (in U.S., theyre especially underrated by damn ignorant american shithead Bam Margera lovers... especially). Cale Nuske, JB Gillet, Jan Kleiwer, JJ Roussaeu, T.F., Vincent Bressol, Lucas Puig, etc. Joey Brezinski is on the am team... Watch teh CLiche video and Digital 11.

whaa whaa whaa...element sucks, zero's are the best!, can't go wrong with a blank or flip...just pick a piece of wood and skate. dont bother asking...ya wont get any decent answers. An intermediate skater, (not that I really know what the hell that is) wouldnt have to ask.
peace.

get that adio bam board I know bam sucks but the bam board with the bat grip tape is extremly light and extremely durable my freind has had his for about 3-5 months now and its barely damaged no chips or any thing just tiny scraps on nose and tail and paint stays on well too just buy new griptape and buy stickers if you dont want bam board

This thread was considered new around my birthday, now it's considered old. People...don't use the similar threads down below unless you plan to look at the date and see that it is recent.

Was I that stupid back then? But, yea people watch the thread dates. I know we tell you to use the search button, but also use some sense. There are threads just like this that aren't so old. Whoever made this thread most likely has gone through a couple boards since then.
