View Full Version : Board Recomendations
fallen23zero 06-30-2008, 11:35 AM i found several threads similiar to what this one will become, but some of the brands i had in mind arent listed.
so i run through boards like every month or two now. and my parents refuse to buy me a new board, so i have to do chores which is like $3 a week. im 13 so im too young for a legal job, so buying a new board every month as you can see would be impossible. i need an EXTREMELY durable board. im talking like will last through anything. i dont thrash my boards like throw them, but ive found out that tricks like shuvs and tre and varials mess em up, and guess what, i do those tricks a lot. so right now im pretty screwed. i was thinking about foundationand popwar, baker, really anything ive been told that zeros are durable, but thats the one im riding right nwo, and i dont even think its been a month, and there is no tail, and no nose, there are countless chips as well. so a really really durable board is what i need. still id like it to be good. thanks any ideas will be greatfully accepted
hokus pokus 06-30-2008, 12:00 PM i think you are going to have to get other chores/jobs for extra cash... lawn, washing cars, toilet duty, ect... of all the boards you liked/ mentioned will not hold up as long as you are wishing.
anyways, good luck

sackofsuck 06-30-2008, 02:23 PM do some odd jobs around the neighborhood.
if your parents don't like you doing that either don't do it, or don't let them find out.
and for boards, i would either save up for a bulk order for blanks, get regular house blanks, or 5 Boro. or you can just lurk your local shop and see what they have to offer.
good luck kid

3 dollars a week? You get money for doing things a round the house? Im gonna quit my job to come over your house.
blindskater1213 06-30-2008, 04:19 PM I would buy 5 pop-lites. Search ebay.
One board will not last near as long as 5, even if it is more durable.
hokus pokus 07-01-2008, 01:27 PM why did you make 2 threads on this?
(this and the one in the general forum)
you know what? you need to learn from the new hustler...

ISkateZero 07-01-2008, 06:08 PM Stock up on boards on birthdays/christmas.
When you turn 14 you could get a job at the movies.
No matter what board you get, if you skate it everyday it;s going to wear down and get chips.
maybee pop lites or moose blanks off ebay
moose blanks are good and are $22 with grip
The Beard 07-01-2008, 08:38 PM my buddy goes to the nearby mall in really shabby clothes and a cardboard sign saying "layed off from job for being to young and need money. Please Help!"
that way they think youve tried to contribute to society and actually have a job but they wont let you. the last few boards we bought with cash hes snagged off of passer-byers at the mall. seems to work for him. ALSO...

LAKIAINATOR 07-01-2008, 08:57 PM get a blank or check ebay sometime they have these sick buys like there was this on 50 blanks for like 300 dollars i was like oh **** check everyonce in a while or likeget your decks off ebay and if you have problems with your wheels go with better skateboarding watch their vids on youtube
cha-BANG 07-02-2008, 08:30 PM yup, bulk blanks are always the best idea :) even though you may not be so thrilled with spending around 100 dollars, having 10 boards is better than buying 2 for 100 dollars. blanks aren't even bad, they last just like any other, a deck's a deck bro. 10 boards, or 2, your choice ^_^ no matter how durable you think the 2 are..they won't outlast 10. 'nuff said.
CitySk8er 07-02-2008, 08:38 PM bulk pack of moose blanks. 10 decks for like $100, and they last just as long as graphic decks. DONT GET POP LITES *snap*
alienworkshp321 07-02-2008, 08:44 PM im expected to do my chores for no money but i hear that darkstars are really durable and i also recomend mowing lawns
