not really, I started skating with P2s (which is like the flight deck from back in the day) but had a hard time adjusting to the weight of different brands once I found the exact shape of board best for me. Fiber glass boards are nice but they dont offer it too wide a variety of shapes

I've skated my whole life and still learned a few things from this. Also made me realize how much of skateboarding is fashion. Brand loyalty and aesthetic play a huge part, but it's also not a bad thing. We are coming to a point where it's cooler to support a small brand owned by skaters. Quasi, Alltimers, Hockey, Carpet, Sour, Cleaver, etc. Whatever your preference, reserve the judgement and spread the love.

I picked up skating again last year after about 11 years off. It's wild to me that the biggest names back then don't seem to have much of a presence anymore. I assume they got bought out or absorbed by a parent company, but companies like Element, Toy Machine, World Industries, Flip, Girl, Alien Workshop, Blind, etc. just aren't nearly as common as they once were.

[@hoonyur5973]

I’m about to pick up skateboarding back up as well and I totally agree! I’ve been out of the game since 2005 but with my first kid on the way I wanted to get back on a board and be able to pass on the beautiful culture I grew up with. I was a Santa Cruz deck, Indy truck, spitfire wheels dude and I guess Indy moved operation to China now and changing their logo?? Well see what my LCS has in store for me to choose from. What’s been the biggest hurdle to overcome since getting back in the game? Dif the screen name lol cheers mayne!🍻

[@skateboardingover3047]

@@hoonyur5973 biggest hurdle? I guess that depends what kind of skater you were before. I skated a lot of ramps and transition, minimal street so i was focusing on learning the street fundamentals.

I skated a polar deck that was shaped for a couple months and it helped me progress a lot. When I went back to a popsicle deck flip tricks seemed much easier and cleaner than before the polar. I like shaped decks a lot more now that I’m in my 30s and spend most of my time skating on the ground and in bowls.

[@nekro9t2]

Powell made boards in the late 80s with a composite layer called Boneite - it actually looked a bit like cardboard when you snapped the deck. They went soggy and lost their concave when they got wet so this formula didn't last long.

[@yoricks217]

[@cynamonstudio]

I recently bought an 8.5 polar deck. I liked the shape ( I dont care for the graphics at all ). It is super fun for cruising, but doing tricks gets really hard because it is heavy :) So be careful while going up the sizes. It feels more stable, safe etc. but there is a price you pay for that ... the weight. Eventually went back to Deathwish 8.25, and that is where I am sticking around in the future.

[@ajfsound]

This is where the flight decks get really interesting: bigger yet lighter

[@trythinking8967]

In the 80s and early 90s we had all kinds of shaped decks. There was more variety. I remember I had a Santa Cruz Bullet board with a 'whale tail' that curved way out. The idea was the more acutely angled tail would make your ollies higher. It just made them sketchier.

a good example of the more effort into the product thing. one of the first shaped boards I bought was the jeff grosso santa cruz re-issue. the graphic on that thing was like the finish on a damn car. the board was so cool that I skated it until it was falling apart and even now I just get pschycd just looking at it on my wall. also a name on board really means something when you admire that skater.

[@matthewserrao2926]

Hey Dan! I know this video is a bit old, but I have a suggestion! To test “board technology” and different types of wood ply, use a hydraulic press! Can test the overall stress of each board to see which one handles load better!

[@alien_enterprise]

man had an Aircraft aluminum deck back in the early 2000's and everyone used to rip on me so hard. I thought it was futuristic dope though, even had this sick ghetto blaster grip tape. It was good for somethings but as a kid growing up in smalltown midwest it was not the best for learning board slides, etc. Once the little plastic nose and tail guards wore down that thing was deadly like a prison shank!

Awesome information-packed video, thanks Dan. Liked and subscribed. Question: Among those of us who are only interested in cruising (no tricks, no speeding, etc.), are there less performance differences that we need to be concerned with? Example, I gave up skateboarding after high school, that was 45 years ago. I recently bought a couple of Penny boards just for crusing around, and I think they're pretty cool for this purpose. But, maybe after I regain my skills, and I'm looking into more bitch'n longboards, I'm thinking about Arbor dropthrough longboards for longer-distance longboarding. Opinions?

[@elenapizana6891]

I bought a Gold Coast longboard (2years ago)and I totally recommend, they’re on the pricier side, but it’s a really smooth rider. The deck is very roomy, so plenty of space for you to feel comfortable and place your feet anywhere.10/10 for cruising long distance

one of the most important things to me, as a skater and an artist, is the graphic, *but* I also have a couple super rare/custom graphic boards from Lib Tech, that are fancy because of the graphic on them, so I've personally preferred graphic, sometimes even over shape and size, but that's been like, twice [Edit:] There's a (somewhat) local skate company near me, Gluefoot Skateboards that are specially designed to not chip. I've kicked mine into cement walls at my local, (multiple times) to prove it, and the guy makes them in his backyard. They're super cool, everything about skateboards interest me, from the art on them, to the way they're made, to tricks, everything. I love sk8

My boards last me a really long time so I picked up a powerply santa cruz deck. It was worth the price, its super durable and the pop has stayed fresh since i got it

[@literalfuckingtroll]

Skated for about 24 years and I've done it on most of the brands. A few haven't made it over the years, but here's a rundown of what I've skated: Minilogo is underrated considering the price. I've had bad experience with China boards unless they have resin in the press. Despite being considered a Walmart brand, Darkstar's resin 7 is good. Blind boards arent durable. Elements are cheap. Almost is very good. Fuck Baker. Zero is rad. Polar has a quality deck. Enjois are perfectly average. Birdhouse is surprisingly good (most are low concave, I like them with rails). Powell-Peralta is awesome as far as quality and shape is concerned (nice Chris Hiett reference). Black Label is also very good, especially their old school shapes. Santa Cruz is bad unless you get their most expensive line. Overall, my advice to anyone new or old is to get the best possible deck they can get for the lowest possible price. That means that you should ignore the graphics and focus on the tech behind your board purchase. Look at the country of origin, look at the materials. Do your research. Shape and size is personal preference. The only way to know what you like is to skate everything. Enjoy skateboarding.

[@RomanSkateboarding]

Since you've been skating for 20 years, I'm wondering what your thoughts about smaller boards (7.5 etc.) were back when they were the size to go? Did you get used to them but were immediately much happier once bigger boards were the main thing or were you always able to immediately adapt to what the marked threw at us and skate it with the same sense of "feeling at home"?

[@idmhead0160]

Yeah, I was curious what board size Dan skates. I skated back in the 80s when boards were all pretty much 10". Then, I got a board around 2001 that was a 7.75". And this year, I tried 8, 8.25, and 8.5. I much prefer the 8.5 over the smaller ones, though I generally suck, so, your mileage may vary, but, I think of think people shouldn't be pushed into narrow boards. I wish I would have went with the wider board to begin with. But, I still have the narrower ones to play around with and compare.

Interesting. I checked Polar's website and for certain decks they're saying it is made by BBS in Mexico. I'm also surprised there is no talk about the pitch of the nose or tails or the concave of decks as a deciding factor. I'm guessing that is due to personal preference?

[@ramrunsfast]

I agree with you as well. I think he presented the overall type of wood quite well however things like wheelbase,concave, and deck size also play factors as well as the type of terrain you're looking to ride transition vs street etc.

The roads and everything out here in NC are crusty so unless ur at a park you are probably want something the road can chew on.

Damn. Haven't heard libtech in a.. years. Personally, I love them flight decks. They are my favorite. I'm skating my 4th one in a row. It's a great feeling to know that you can land as hard as you want without having to worry about snapping your deck.

Almost makes a Uber light board they were out before flight boards but almost identical.

In the 80's Powell had boards with something in them to make them stronger, but it also made them heavy so in 90's they started 7 ply boards . I haven't skated since the 90's so I don't know the weight comparison between the flight and seven ply , but it does look like a really good board .

This was super interesting! Thank you so much for this great video. Cheers from Berlin!

Been skating for about 20 years on and off. Always bought the cheaper mini logo or whatever skate shop house brand because they all break or chip no matter what. All the decks feel the same to me except you can get different shapes with big brand ones. I started riding independent trucks a couple years ago. No other trucks turn like independent trucks do.
