MomentIsNow Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Maybe you're just landing weird on the nollie flip? I've sent my deck down 7 sets and they haven't broken. Your decks shouldn't be breaking on flatground. UNLESS, your deck got waterlogged but that's a different story. I ride Element, Plan B or blanks.

I've always been a fan of flip/baker boards and never had any trouble with either of them snapping fast, but baker/deathwish may have went to a different board distributor.

hatetown Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I got a Creature right now. Seems pretty good so far. The shape and concave are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELT Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I've always loved Creature the same way I love Antihero . Their boards are warriors for sure . One company I am disappointed with lately is Black Label . Their quality control fucking sucks , and their boards look as whack as Plan B last year . :lol: Funny how Plan B has to use Slayer album covers as deck graphics just to seel boards . Emergency Skates however still are sturdy as fuck . It's weird because Emergency is just an offshoot of Black Label . Oh well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taliban lee Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 dude get a cliche!! i got one and it lasted me soooo long... plus they have good shape and are just all around good!! i would consider it the best board ive ever skated! same story from a few homies too!!

CELT Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 No thanks I'm not a TPWF . :lol: J/K I stick to either older made boards 1985-1993 or buy Creature , Antihero , Emergency , Flip , Krooked or my local shop West Side Skates who uses Penn's Woods to make their boards 100% U.S.A. Maple . :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinky the kid Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 yeah im thinking my local shop has started using chinese wood. ghey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomentIsNow Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think the wood is what's screwing you over. You'll eventually land nollie flips bolts and you won't have to worry anymore. If the decks are being made in china then I guess their not applying the resin right, 7 plys of wood with proper resin shouldn't break on flatground.

DrPiddlesworth Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Tips on how to stop chips? Is it just cause I keep getting pieces or shit? I'm on a speed demon right now. It is essentially peeking out the coffin. I asked a kid I know at my park and he said "Yeah, I used to get chips...when I sucked." Haha. But that is the only response I have gotten so far. The newish deck that I am going to switch to when this one becomes unskatable is a Erik Ellington Death Wish board. I am hoping it doesn't break so easily.

MrChupacabra Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 That denver park looks awesome. What the hell is it made out of, because it looks like marble, but that'd be one expensive ass park if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 thats the weird thing dude. since having this deck and the one i snapped last week, ive been doing some of my best skating in a while. landing lots of swtich/nollie stuff. but its just weird. maybe i need to stop doing nollie flips. last board, nollieflie snapped the tail. this board, nollieflip snapped the nose. i love nollie flips. Sounds like they switched their wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 yeah i thought that too. but only on nollie flips. I went through a phase back in 94 where almost everytime I did a 360 flip (treflip) I'd snap my tail. That shit was on flatground too. I eventually came to the realization that it was cause I had developed a habit of catching them and stomping them down hard as fuck with my foot over the tail. This was before landing shit bolts even existed, and I was catching them and stomping them down. But if you're snapping your shit easy on flatground nollieflips, I'm sticking with the story that your shop switched up to some cheaper wood.

twinky the kid Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 yeah, im assuming they switched to a cheaper lousier wood. i had asked one of the owners what was up an they said their next line of decks will be mad with different wood. hopefully better wood.
