Yo guys, this isn't going to be a simple "What deck is good" thread. Because there will be a fair number of you that will say "It's all about personal preferance" I agree with that statement. I'm gonna tell you guys what I look in a board and I was wondering if you guys could tell me some boards that fit the description.

My dream board would have/be-
A pretty steep concave, I like to ollie as high as possible.
Be pretty light, I'm only like 120 pounds.

All help's welcomed, thanks in advance!

well alien workshop has really light boards. i picked up my friends and i couldnt believe how light it was compared to my board. i dont know how their concave is though. i've heard toy machine makes boards with really big concaves, but their boards are kind of big and heavy.

Get a blank with some thunders and rictas. So far blanks have worked best pop wise for me. I only way about 120 also. Blanks are also light, but if you want really light get a mullen uber light even though they cost allot.

Realy? It sounds like it matters to me...I could be wrong of course. Why dosen't weight matter?

Because its only going to be like... Less than a pound. Try lifting a deck people say is "lighter" and one they say is "heavy" and see if you can notice the difference.

i have noticed that i can ollie higher with medium concave decks

in my experience boards with huge tails have alot less control in the air

try a medim concave deck off of blankdecks.com
i think you will have a better skate experience with a medium concave deck

but that is my personal opinion if you still want a monster concave deck go ahead and get one

Cool, thanks for the advice.
And don't worry about your weight, if you skate a lot that fat will melt off in no time. Make sure you watch what you eat. :)
