PLAN_BSKATER Trusted user	Posted: 23.04.2008 19:27 If your still using the same deck after 2 1/2 years I feel very sorry for you.
dex Trusted user	Posted: 23.04.2008 12:12 haven't broke a board in the last 2 and 1/2 years ... the main things is to land all your tricks perfect and when u can't do that just don't ;)
Helix Normal user	Posted: 21.04.2008 23:13 skatin soft decks i find is good for learning to land bolts as much as possible... but it sucks when they have no pop. i had a zero brockman deck last winter, only skated indoors in my school rez, and only skated flatground. it lasted less than 3 sessions. probably not even 3 hours total. gonna start buying bulk online
PLAN_BSKATER Trusted user	Posted: 21.04.2008 21:08 oh and just in case anyone wants to get some cheap ass boards like I get here's the site www.blankdecks.com They have a bundle of 10 decks for 13.99 ea deck and you can get a roll of grip for 39.99 which totals about 200 bucks for 10 decks and grip for all of them =]
PLAN_BSKATER Trusted user	Posted: 21.04.2008 21:04 I only pay $15 for my boards I either get blank decks or discount prices at the local shop which is nice. So I can go through anywhere from 3+ boards a month. So like when I get a chip or something I just get a new one and give my old one to some kid and make him happy
Kill Trusted user	Posted: 21.04.2008 21:04 yeah here(bulgaria) boards are expensive too, 100 levs(that's 50 euro) for our money standards that's a lot but i usually save money even if i have a brand new board just in case and when a board becomes unskateble i buy a new one So "no"
Jorge Moderator	Posted: 21.04.2008 19:33 The problem isn't the price but how much money you or your parents have... Here boards cost 40 to 70 euros... this can be considered cheap for people from other countries but for us (portugueses) is expensive.

dudo Normal user	Posted: 21.04.2008 16:12 I use my board till some crash (snowboard) usually one season
flipfreak Trusted user	Posted: 20.04.2008 21:44 Its not my board that is the problem. I keep blowing bearings, 'flatspotting' wheels and breaking baseplates. even my hardware pops in pieces sometimes. I usually skate a board for a month and then throw it away or sell it

shanebro123 Trusted user	Posted: 20.04.2008 09:51 i use it until it starts getting annoying

marto skate Trusted user	Posted: 19.04.2008 21:29 Sometimes it's just impossible to continue skating with an old board
Skin_Flick Trusted user	Posted: 19.04.2008 21:14 Sometimes my board doesn't lasts long because when I'm pissed off at skating I break them such a bad habit , I'm trying to hold my board as long as possible
smiled_jimmy Moderator	Posted: 19.04.2008 14:49 Yeah, most of the time.
lemurian Trusted user	Posted: 19.04.2008 09:28 you can't predict when the board will break.i pretty much skate flat,ledges,flatbars or little stairs sets usually 6-8 (max 9-10) because my heels\feet hurts if i jump big gaps.i didn't broke so many boards in the last 2-3 years,so i change them when are popless or gripless.sometimes they broke at flip boardslides or fs shove\bs 180s
nachaskate Normal user	Posted: 19.04.2008 08:37 ive been sdating for like two years. ive only broken up with one board. but i usually just dump a board when it naggs to much
Yeager Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 23:37 In seven and a half years of skating I think I have broken one deck...so I just change them when I feel like it.
eS Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 21:14 if a friend needs a board id give mine to them but other than that ill skate til it break
CyberJack Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 19:32 soon as i feel that the pop is gone and that i am not popping that hard and high at all i change deck...
zero_skater65 Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 18:47 either it breaks, or it loses it's concave and tail, then I ditch it and get a new one
Tubi Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 17:22 I'm to light to break boards
sonic182 Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 15:15 until the tail is too short to pop...
shuvit Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 15:13 I start with a new deck when my old one doesn't listen to me....

Carlos Trusted user	Posted: 18.04.2008 06:36 I always skate boards till they break cuz im broke...I skate a board with no nose before
mcmanusword Normal user	Posted: 18.04.2008 05:26 I break a board so often. It sucks. Im only 164 pounds too. It's no fair. Like in the last month or so, i've gone through about 3 or 4 decks, all lasting 1-3 sessions each. All just skating flatground pretty much. Crossing my fingers with this habitat though. It's lasted one session
Jorge Moderator	Posted: 18.04.2008 03:44 No sponsor + no money -> sucks
Briden Moderator	Posted: 18.04.2008 03:43 Sometimes, if the board gets too much razortail or warped, I change it and give the old one to a kid who needs it more than I do. But usually they do break. I almost always have a spare deck, I buy them in bulk.
Jorge Moderator	Posted: 18.04.2008 03:40 I always use my board until it breaks... Then when I break it usually I have to wait some days, weeks, or even a month before buying a new one.
