Skateboard Decks............................................................

[thapeopleschamp]

just started working at a skate shop in town...
not a skater but im learning slowly about things.
was wondering what kinda decks u guys like?
what to look for?
i thought it was just of design and graphic of the deck.
we just got some Element X Imaginry Foundation boards in and they're pretty sweet...
put one together for a kid today.
anyways new to this,please dont flame.

Back when I use to skate, I liked Element, Enjoi, and Girl decks. I've owned an Element and Enjoi, and both seemed really sturdy and didnt have a lot offlex, but enough that I wasn't scared I was gonna break it on a grind or landing in the middle of it off an ollie.

But my Element board got stolen

, and my Enjoi deck got lost somewhere

I prefer Girl and Element.
I had a custom that I broke and the Girl I gave to a friend while the Element I was jumped for...who jumps someone for a deck?

Thing is I was just skating and some dudes walked up to me and told me "Nice Deck bro" so I did a double take "Nice what?"they took offense so then outta no where POW right in the back of my head. I turn around and dude wails me in the nose so I can't see so then I just feelhis homey pick me up and slam me on the street. I wake up and my deck,throwaway phone,and "Stash" in my sock are gone.

You know anti-hero and krooked are the same company dont you? And to the OP. You must not work at a real skate shop because no one would hire anyone who knowsjack %*## about skating or who doesnt skate to work at their shop and PUT TOGETHER decks for anyone. /rant. But to provide some help. Its all preference. But Ablank deck and good set of trucks = wack. Element decks = garbo girl decks = ok I religiously skated anti hero or krooked (same company) and sometimes evenchocolate. Organica is real real good as well.

 

[jpthe3]

Ventures and royals

china 8s and red bones bearing

plan b and spitfire wheels

straight $%^&*(^ USC on them stairs and rails..

ayo though, aint htere a fat dude that works at central? you knowol' boy dont skate

 

[innovazn2]

ACTIVE hires ppl that dont know %(@* all the time

 

[thapeopleschamp]

i know retail.
i dont need to know how to skate
just sell.
most of the customers are kids anyways.
what i dont know i ask other employees or even customers.
im learning as i go...

bt someone agree with me that those imaginary x element boards are clean

 

[kanyeeezy]

element boards are overpriced, and i don't see much of a difference from regular active brand decks.

people need to start somewhere, so big ups to you OP for being interested in what you're doing.

as far as decks, i've skated some girl and chocolate, and even DGK. can't go wrong with girl, they're good with me!
