Product Review

-Alien Workshop-Alien decks are good they have good pop but they chip up fast you cant do spin tricks on them until you get used to the deck because it is just so light! 7-10

-ATM-There super strong, slide well, hard to find,but there kinda heavy cool designs-6

-Acme-Acme's have good pop and they are good for flip tricks.the acme pro model deck that my danther has slides pretty good but it is too small.

-Blind-Blind deck are pretty good except it is the most impossible deck to do a kickflip on. I can do a kickflip on a World Industries board but not on a Blind deck. They are also very durable. I have slammed it on the grand and nothing happens to it. So Blind decks are durable but impossible to do a kickflip on.

-Black Label deck-Rides like a dream and very thick paint. I have the Mike Valely. Nice concave and small like i like em. 7.5

-Birdhouse-Birdhouse decks have pretty cool graphics and are pretty light. But they'reshaped kind of retarded and they delaminate and chip fast. And they'reall shaped kind of weird so I could never find one that I could ride thatgood.6-10

-CCS Blank-They're ok. Not really anything special about them. It's a very average deck.7-10

-Element-Elements are the best skate boards ever. They are super light, super durable, super pop. Aside from this they have the best concave. Easy to flip, easy to rotate, and easy to stay on top of.9.9/10

-Manna-You might not have heard of them but the local skate shop carries themand I love mine. I've had about 5 of them and they're great. They slide good,you can spin with them, they flip good, they're light, they're fairly durable, and they last. I highly recommend them. 9.5-10

-NASH-Nash is the biggest piece of crap to ever be called a skate board they sell them at the dollarama in the 50%off bin.If you walk into a room and there is a nash in it the nash will break! Rating- "10-4000"

-Think-A great Board. Good pop. good Concave. And great for flip trix because they flip evenly. These are great.

-Tree Fort-Tree fort is one of the the best decks i have ever had. It has good pop and it only just has 1 crack in the nose after 2 months!!!!This deck is awesome.Get one. 8.7-10 By

-The Firm-The firm is an exellent deck for flip tricks but it chipped up awfully fast.I had a Ray Barbee model it rode exellent i had it for 4 months before it cracked 6.5-10

-Santa Cruz-Santa Cruz is a good deck it's light with really awesome graphics andp op but you cant do 180's (or at least i couldnt)with them for some reason Santa Cruz invented the slick so you know they will slide down a 1783645 foot rail. 7-10

-Skully Bros. Blank-Skully Bros Are a pretty exellent deck they are blanks i dont know if you heard of them before but o well.They dont slide that fast so if you want to do a nose-slide for 2 inches you gotta be going Mach-10 they ollie and flip awesome but they chip like a hellion but i liked my skully.7-10

-World Industries-They're pretty good boards. They have good pop and are light. Not super durable but it's hard to find a board that is both strong AND light.They flip really good but it's hard to do 180s with them. 7.5-10 -

-Wood Laminate-These are really really good boards that are sold in Canada. I dont know if they are sold in U.S but if you see one get it. The tail is huge and snappy and it slides fairly well. 9-10

-Variflex-Why do companys make these things? on the box they put switch stanseand double kick tail like it's something special. i give then a Negative Ten -10

-Zero-zero good boards strongs, but a kid over mine on a qaud and chipped and it keeps chipping now- 8.5/10 Pickle

-Zoo York-ZOO York Strong construction don't chip easily good pop and flip but some are real heavy and wide

Trucks
Gullwing
Gullwings are kinda good they grind fairly fast and they are light but the cups go to peices fast! 6.5-10

Grind King
They squeak which can be very annoying. But the kingpin kicks ass andyou can grind the hell out of them. And contrary to popular belief, you DON"Thave to buy that Grind Kind tool. You can use an Allen Head. I love mine causethey're super light and durable. 9-10 -DohDoh27

Independent
They are kind of heavy but that doesn't make much of a difference if you have some pop. They grind great and the kingpin is spectacular. They last, and last, and last. 8-10 -DohDoh27

Krux
Krux are cool trucks with a nice design but i cant understand why they put that hole in the back for .They grind real fast and everything and they are light. 7.5-10

Orion
They totaly are kik ass trucks there light strong king pin dosent bend. I recomend theese -skater53

Standard
These trucks are ok. They aren't really light. But they are fairlydurable. The kingpin gets in the way some though. 6.75-10 -

Tracker Tony Hawk
The thing about these are, they are great at first...but soon the kingpin screws up and they start going crooked. So if you plan on using themfor like, 1 month. Buy them. But if they need to last you a while....don't. 7-10 -

Thunder
Thunder trucks are the best i love them they grind awesome and the bolts are nice and low so it takes a while to wear out they are pretty heavy though so that takes the points away 8-10

Venture
They are really light but mine screwed up fast. The kingpin got in myway and they weren't strong at all. They can't take much grinding. These trucksare for beginners who don't do much grinding. 5.5-10

Wheels
Alien
Alien wheels dont wear out but they are really rough so your feet are going up and down all the time.I wouldnt reccomend them 5-10.

Formula One
Formula one wheels are the best i've rode on yet they are light smooth and they have nice graphics get them!8-10

Maple
Maple wheels are terrible. They wore out really quick. Nough said. 4-10 -

Pig
Pig wheels are really smooth and they dont wear out for a long time they have a dumb name and dumb graphics but they are good. 7-10

Speed Wheels
Speed wheels are really good wheels, not too soft not to hard, Bullets are the best wheels Speed Wheels makes. 8.5-10

Bearings
Bones Swiss
gooI had these bearings for about a month. I think they kick ass. The good thing about them is that they are not self lubricant and the dirt doesn't stick to them. I jumped off 5-12 stairs and they haven't caved in on me yet and I weight 120lbs. I definately suggest these for any good rider that doesn't wanna keep buying new bearings frequently. I know they cost around - but it damn worth it.

Black Panthers
They're great. They ride smooth, they ride fast, they don't wear out for a long time. 8.5-10 -

German Speed
These bearings are the shit they last for ever they dont hardly ever need cleanded and they go fast ive had mine for about a year and there still like new..

Lucky Abec 3
Luckys look nice and they come with TONS of oil in them but within 2 months of skating the cores cracked and the faces came off and most of the ball bearings came out. If you take care of them they will probably last though. 7-10 -

Lucky Abec 7
Lucky 7s are extremely fast and overly oiled. They last really long. The down side is they cost alot, I got mine for 23 bucks! If your looking for along lasting, fast bearing, and are willing to pay a littel extra, buy these. 8.5-10.

Speed Demons
They're pretty good, but my sheilds came off in a hurry. They ride goodand pretty fast, but they got stuff stuck in them a lot. 6-10
