Honestly, I don't think most skaters could tell the difference if they were really challenged. Take a bunch of boards from various companies, no graphics, no distinguishing markers like staining or stamps, cut them all the same shape and width, and then have skaters try them out and see if they can name the manufacturer. I have a feeling that a lot of these arguments about whose boards are better will fall apart. [close]Bullshit!!! They might not be able to tell what exact wood shop it is, but they could definitely tell that some were way better than others. I've had old Blitz boards that no one (not just me, but my friends when I passed it around to try) could skate because they were flat and lifeless (felt like they'd been soaked in water for a week and left to dry out before selling).

Girl's graphics have been bland for a while, I'd agree with that part. Chocolate still on point.

Ive only ever skated girl boards in the mid 90's. Still wish I put that Koston "super cock" on my wall.Back then they snapped way easy. Cant speak for today however.Im no skateboard wood expert, never even looked into it. But i will say the two best boards ive ever riden were adrenalin, i think it was a matt reason deck? Cant remember. And a gawd awful graphic, think tag deck. I skated like 60 of those. Loved that board to deathWtf made those boards?
