Pennswood is the best I've ever tried, it makes china boards feel like Walmart boards.

I'm sure many other US manufactorers make good ones as well.

who makes habitat boards? i know kayo, deluxe, and ive read on here that magenta all use the same wood, which is sick because all of their shapes are amazing. a lot of concave and a steep tail and nose

What the fuck, get out of here and focus your account.

a lot of it is made in mexico using shitty american wood, gotta get that canadian maple

no. bareback/generator wood is amazing

Example of said wood?
Hope you don't mean premium,shit might be stiff but those shapes/concave are awful.

you probably haven't ridden good wood then, most board companies use pretty bad wood that gets soggy and looses it's pop. gotta get that cold grown canadian maple

they don't break

Looks like they chip pretty badly though.

that's probably because the deck in the video was a "Second". like of the decks that didn't make the cut. They're $20 as opposed to $40

If you haven't already, I'd definitely recommend buying some Satori Ecothane wheels, they're made from recycled materials and are seriously the best wheels I've ever had. Satori wheels in general are one of the best wheels out. Also I've made the switch from skating Indys to Theeve trucks for the last year and a half, and those are the best trucks I've skated. They're basically like a lighter Indy truck. You guys should try them out if you get a chance, you won't be disappointed!

We've had him since XMas time. Our old neighbors in Beaverton couldn't keep him, so we took him. We love him, he's a good dog for sure. We have a little Chihuahua too that was a rescue dog. Really digging the small dogs. Like cats with more personality.
