My boards

I have had quite a few boards, Element, Kore, Active, Chocolate, Girl, Birdhouse, and Blind. Boards from best to worst, Active, Element, Chocolate/Girl, Kore, Blind, and Birdhouse. Element are light boards last awhile(can snap easily) Active last long and are strong, Chocolate's chip easily and wear down fast(same with girl) but good pop and flip, Kore is an average ok board, Blind is average board, Birdhouse(wouldnt buy it unless first board)

Top brand would have to be Old Man Army Skateboards. American made, top quality wood that can withstand a beating.

Mini

My dad bought me a skateboard for my birthday. It was a mini I bought at a skate shop and it was element.. I was skating at my backyard one day when my dad needed to take out his company truck. I stood aside and the worst thing that can happen is my skateboard goes in the way and my dad ran over it.. It didn't snap!!! mY dad was mad at me but my skateboard survived but the middle is bent down and some paint came off.. MINI FTW?

US made?

i read most of these posts and i must say that most of your top brands are Chinese made. Where is the US made and the sustainable product? Where are the bamboo decks? Where are the hemp decks? and decks made from a non toxic glue? If you are tall then most likely those big brands aren't marketed towards you. try a Bügi Plank. I got mine from this guy i saw walkin around at Oakridge Mall. he makes all his own decks and they are killer! 10" street decks are gnar kill. i have 10" indies on mine. the physics are all the same and i can skate street, hills, parks, bowls and just cruise around on the same board. Google Bogard's Boards and you'll see his blogs. email him on myspace and he'll set you up. these boards are SICK!!
