Price: About $30 per deck
[br]
Pop: Very good at first, the board feels light and has a nice “floaty” feel to it while doing tricks. The problem is is that this deck gets razor tail extremely fast and the pop starts to feel soggy afterwards, but still maintains decent pop even after that happens. Overall the pop is great at first but wears down too quickly, I would give it a 7/10.

Shape/Concave: The concave is about medium at first but slowely flattens out a bit. The nose and tail are somewhat equal, nose is slightly bigger and wider like on most decks. The biggest problem I had with the shape is that since the tail razor tails so fast the deck chips quickly making the tail feel really short, but thats not really a problem with the shape just the durability. I would say I don’t think anyone would not like the shape and concave on this deck, unless you like a flat deck with no nose then this should be fine. 8/10.

Weight: Like I said before this deck feels more on the light side, I’m pretty neutral when it comes to this and don’t care either way if a deck is heavy or light, but for some people this might be a bad thing, I don’t think it will bother anyone personally, it’s not that kind of light where the board feels like you have no control over how it flips and spins. I thought it was nice and it shouldn’t be a problem for too many people but it’s a preference so no rating given.

Durability: I feel like I’ve pretty much covered most of this already, like I said this deck gets fast razor tail and quickly and easily because of this. I noticed pressure cracks very quickly, and the board snapped after about 3 weeks of skating it which is really quickly for me. This is one of the weaker decks I’ve had for sure and I wouldn’t reccommend it someone who is looking for a durable deck. I would give the durability a 4/10. This is the only downfall but it’s a big one.

Overall: For the $30 price tag this is a pretty decent deck, although you can probably find a more durable cheap deck at your local shop or online. I personally wouldn’t reccommend this deck unless you can afford to get new ones a lot, there’s nothing really wrong with it besides the durability but that kind of ruined it for me. I would give this deck an overall rating of 6/10. 7/10 since they’re only 30 dollars.
