Pro decks do not last longer, they are the same quality, just with a picture on the bottom. And the graphic doesn't last for that long anyway.

If you really want one, i suggest a girl/chocolate, or an Alien Workshop/Habitat.

If you go though boards so fast buy Darkstar with the armor light Guarantee
If the bored breaks within a month you get a free Darkstar.

Do you snap your boards then you need to try and land on the bolts more so you don't make pressure cracks on them so fast.

Ethical^ :P

I've found "pro" decks to be of a higher quality than blanks. This is probably due to the blanks I have owned are manufactured cheaply in New Zealand or Australia. I've now broken two doing frontside lipslides on the flat ground, and I only weigh 70kg

I say pay the extra money and buy a brand like Consolidated and support skateboarding

2 weeks?? Either you skate way too much or you purposely break them. The could be really crappy decks. My zero is lasting me 2 months so far. my pop lite blank lasted me 3. You could buy a blind eternal life, warranty for 2 years.

Well in the US most blanks are made pretty much like pro models. Without the graphic and pro riders shape.

Yeah that's super sweet. I'd just buy blanks and do my own designs.

If you go though boards so fast buy Bootleg with the Destruction Construction Guarantee
If the board breaks within 3 months you get a free Bootleg.

What a coincidence, I agree.

they are not gonna put a warranty like that on it and then not give you a new board if you break it.

yea dude i agree with dat 1 dude pop lights are the best boards you can buy because they have so much pop to them and if you dont have any trucks and wheels on them you can STILL get like 8 inches+ high on an ollie

There is invisable tape you put on the bottem of your deck that doesn't come off when you grind so accualy the graphic lasts longer but the board still doesn't!!

i think pro decks some times r better quiality some times poorer quality than blanks. if u keep breaking them then try find a really strong deck like blind eternal life. then u can register it, and if u keep it dry snap it after like 70 days and get a free replacement or just keep it for a loooong time.

(old school reference) Santa Monica Airlines has a board that won't break. check out the you tube vid. Skip used the board as a ramp and drove a old ford van on it...mine hasn't broken, and I've been riding the thing for a long time...

I think this whole "are pro decks better than normal?" all depends on how you skate, how you land tricks, how long you spend with the deck everyday, whether you are sloppy at skating or not, and how you treat your deck (like do you throw it everywhere out of fustration).

You could decrease time in which a new deck is needed to be bought by landing on the bolts more often, not degrading your deck, be alot more cleaner about doing tricks depending on whether you drag the board bunches or not.

If you want you can get a "pro-deck" and try it out, see which one you like better.

What are you talking about... Its a warranty for 90 days! I'm surprised you would say that without knowing it... Two years, thats incredibly unrealistic.

Get your facts right man.
