Armorlights, Powerlyte?
« on: August 07, 2006, 07:48:54 AM »
Have anyone tried either of these? are they really better? Please write your opinions on Powerlyte or armorply or any other board with a "last longer-technology".
I've been breaking boards like crazy this summer so I need to know if they're worth special-ordering or if it's just bullshit.

I like my Alex Moul Powerlyte a lot, but a friend of mine who skate the Armorlight hated it...

Oky, so powerlytes are good, thanks for the help.
C'mon people, if you've tried ANY board with a technology that's supposed to make it last, write which board it was and how it felt and lasted!

Definately Try the powerlyte. They do have an ill shape, they are lighter, have great flex, and last for days.
The Popwar drops decks are pretty good too, and should cost about the same.
The element decks are alright, but seriously  try the powerlyte

Don't normally buy into that shit, but had some Cliches with some "fibre ply" or something and it was actually good, i was suprised about it as well, i'd been slagging it off before i used it too, basically had to take back all the shit i spoke about it hahaha

He said nothing about it as he skates for Zero so probably doesn't care what Cliche are doing with there boards. . .
