@hoodsk8r3: If you read what i said, it's 5 people buying 5 decks.

@Blazz: I'll be keeping the chocolate one.

Here's what i think of the decks just by how the shape looks:
Girl and chocolate, steep concave (more of a down-flat-up shape than a curve), a steep wide nose, and a wide tail. The wide nose and tail are very noticeable and i'm guessing will make flip tricks a little easier to flick because there's so much room for error on where your foot flicks off the board.

Plan B: Finish is super slick and shiny on this board, the concave is medium but it's like a little section out of a circle (nice even curve), the nose and tail are basically the same with the nose just being a tad longer.

Popwar: Very interesting shape here, mellow concave, super short and small tail, but a steep and narrow nose.

Flip: shallow concave, medium size nose, medium size tail, pretty common shape.

I'm not a fan of Jessup griptape. I got it on my Zero deck and the **** is peeling off like crazy. Mob is the best imo.

Jessup is on of my favorite kinds. I think the best is Iron Horse or maybe Black Magic.
