Blank Skateboard Deck - POP - Strength - Sustainability

I’ve only skated this deck for a few sessions, but I was previously using it as a balance board.Using it as a balance board, I noticed it definitely had some flex, but never felt like it was in danger of snapping despite having my weight pressing down on the ends of the board for long periods of time.Using it as a skateboard, the board feels really good under my feet, and the flex gives my pop a little boost and gives a little cushion to landing. I’ve even had some sloppy landings with my foot on the tail and it didn’t show any signs of weakness.I think despite this being less firm than a maple deck, it may actually be more durable.Will definitely be buying more of these.

It's a maple-ply deck with a top and bottom bamboo ply. It's a neat-looking blank. The concave is deep. I do more cruising than tricks, and it's great for cruising. It does seem to have more flex than the run-of-the-mill seven-ply maple deck. No problems yet with any cracking or delamination. Overall, it's a pretty slick deck.

Definitely worth the price. Lighter than the average deck, I haven't made drastic damage to the deck yet but it feels like the deck does get damaged easier than the average deck. I suggest buying one of these if lighter and cheaper decks with no graphics is what you're looking for, but I can't say for sure (so far) that the deck is stronger than the average deck against my aggressive skateboarding. What you're buying is a bamboo deck, wrapped-up with a sticker and info card. In conclusion, definitely worth the price but I'm not sure if the deck is longer-lasting than the typical decks you would find at your local skateshops, I do love the feel it gives though!

Pop and sturdiness are great. But avoid rough surfaces. The tail wore quick from just doing a few dozen ollies/tricks. But pop is great. Didn't try any rail/tail/nose slides yet. I've heard in a few reviews that the bamboo is soft and it makes sense based on the tail wear I experienced.

There could be a tiny handful of skaters who are better off with a full maple board. Maybe those who are super heavy and looking for less flex? Maybe someone who is board sliding some really rough surfaces? The bamboo board is a little softer on the bottom so it will scratch but it seems only cosmetic to me. Personally, I don't even pay attention to the bottom of my board because I tear it up after one day of riding on any board (maple or not) -- skateboards are meant to be scratched and dinged up. As long as it doesn't snap, I'm good.But for the vast majority of riders it's perfect. If you are a beginner, there's absolutely no reason why these bamboo boards won't work for you. Some mentioned that these boards have more concave but I just happen to like that. If the manufacturer starts making different levels of concave, it will appeal to a larger group of people. I guess some prefer almost no concave like a 1980's vert board but to each their own.I also prefer the tiny extra bit of flex to reduce impact when I don't land on bolts. If you land on bolts most of the time, I don't see how this board would feel any different when landing.Let's be honest though: 80% of real world riders don't land anything! It's dumb to think that any equipment is holding them back from becoming the next Ryan Sheckler. These bamboo boards are basically mostly the same as any maple board. It's definitely not some sketchy piece of shot like a cheap walmart board.

I have been skateboard for around 15 years on and off and this is the most enjoyable deck I've ever had, feels amazing light and snappy and it feels less fragile to land on than maple, the only negative i can see is if you board slide anything very rough bamboo it will scrape really bad and leave a gash, if you avoid sliding on the on wood or just stick to really smooth metal you should be golden

I loved this deck! Very sturdy and well made. I love the idea of bamboo as well. Rides a little high and concave is kind of weird but you get used to it quickly. Pop is amazing!

I wasn't sure what to expect exactly, considering that reviews seemed pretty split between people being really happy with the durability, and the deck breaking rather quickly. I've been riding it for nearly a month now, and it's been holding up. I'm pretty new to skating, so I'm probably not the most intense rider when it comes to stress testing, but I've been trying to practice some of my first tricks and I've been letting some of my bigger friends noodle around on the board, and it hasn't been showing any signs of major damage. Happy with the time I've gotten out of it for the price.I don't have anything to really compare this against, besides a friend's board, but for anyone who is curious, it does have a deep concave, and it does feel pretty light.

I'm still skating the first of these bamboo decks I bought a few months ago and decided to buy another as a spare!I've been skating about 20 years and am now a bit heavier (~100kg) and I can honestly say these bamboo decks are fantastic, they don't bend or warp as some of the online reviews say, it's sturdy and the pop has lasted even with heavy regular use.My only real gripe is the shape, it's slightly pointy and long, if they worked on this then they would be unstoppable, these decks would be everywhere!An interesting thing I found is that because bamboo is a little more compliant, boardslides on rails took just a little more leaning back as the soft bamboo acted very slightly as a brake, slowing me down. That's a small point though, once you use this deck a few times you'll have it sussed out, excellent deck!
