I like 917, the team, and the Call Me video, but I recently got a board and it sucked. Heavy and just not my style. Anyone else ever have this disappointment with a brand/team that they liked?

Bronson is the worst. How the fuck do their ball casings break so much?

would love to support chocolate and enjoi but those boards are jank, sorry to say

Hasn't it been brought up multiple times that crailtap recently started using better wood?
I'm not into anything crail and have never wanted to buy their boards so I have no first hand experience, but has anyone saying that they suck tried their new stuff? Does it still suck?

girl. I love the team but their boards always snap on me

weird i like mine but they were free

Worst fucking wheels

I don't know if this has changed since the company started, but Huf shoes were extremely disappointing to me when I tried them a few years ago. Barely any insole to speak of, and the 2 pairs I had blew out in very strange ways. They seem to be very popular, so maybe they improved some things.

I have the RAWS on my board right now and I can say that I will definitely buy them again. The G2s and G3s on the other hand are complete shit.

Love Palace, hate that it's on Dwindle.

Love Magenta and Isle but hate their flat ass pointy boards

Im riding an Enjoi board and it's pretty good , not into the fact that the nose and tail are a bit smaller compared to other boards Ive had the same size, but the wood is quality for sure.

I also felt this way. Does anyone know where they press their boards? Someone told me Generator, but there's no way the board I rode was generator.

Currently on a PS (8.25) and other then feeling a tad heavier, it seems similar to the generator I had previously.
What issues do you guys have with this wood? Curious...

I generally just don’t like the shapes they use, and they don’t seem like they last as long for me.
One of my best friends and I had this conversation the other day and he was saying the same about Generator/Bareback. It’s all subjective.

For sure.. I actually love the shapes, pop and kinda steep concave.
I'd love to try some deluxe wood, particularly that 8.125 with the shorter length. They're just hard to find in shops in that size...

I've had three pairs of the Classic Hi and and one pair of the Choice. They've held up very well for me. Can't speak on any of the other models.

I just got done with a Magenta 8.5 that was definitely not pointy. Was super flat though, but I like flat boards.

Huf is the trashest of the trash, sick team and stuff, but all of their shoes are garbage :
- Sutter = 20 minutes of kickflip over a bar, and a hole appeared
- Hupper 1 = the sole is way too thick
- Cromer = worst shoes ever made, the collar blew out while i was blasting high ollies over stuff

I had a Kyle Walker real deck and it snapped in less than an hour. Only dlx wood I've skated.

Sounds like my experience. I had their slip-ons and the shoe ripped when I was running out of a bail. I complained and got a free pair, some authentic look-alikes. They were a little better, but the heal exploded. Neither had a good insole. Would need a really good reason to try Hufs again.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Huf classic was designed to make you roll your ankle. They look and feel like those cheap knockoff converse that girls buy at primark. Huf is owned by some investment firm now so I don't even feel guilty for talking shit about them. If I ever saw the guy who designed that shoe I would kick his shit in then steal his wallet as compensation for the pain and suffering I endured from wearing that shoe for half a day.

toy machine - love the company and their videos, but i can't skate their decks
spitfire - had some f1 classics way back in the day, i bought them at the local
shop and they were like super expensive. two days of skating, i got severe flat
spots from doing bs flip on flat on normal concrete. of course i then continued
to ride 'em but they wore off completely unevenly like to the point where one of
the wheels was like a total cone which happened like in two months. they may
win me back with formular 4s, but i still have to try them out. i remember that i
was pretty disappointed back then, because of that bad wheel expierence. LOL

F4's make it impossible for me to purchase any other wheels.

^^^as i said, they can probably win me back over with their
F4s but i still haven't pulled the trigger on any. i am also a
little unsure as to which shape and duro i should gravitate.
i like hard white and rather slim wheels with like 52-53mm.

The majority of UK board companies. So many sick board companies have come out with the raddest teams and seriously good graphics (namely Landscape) and the wood is always the same chippy crap that turns into a damp plank within a month.

This has been my experience during my 16 years or so of skateboarding in the UK.
Having said that, there is an Irish company called Wireless- had a few of their boards over the years including second and third hand ones (when I was a little more poor than usual) and they have always skated solidly and held together well.

I never had any of the old stuff. I've been skating the film series globe boards for a few months now. Solid shape, and they last just as long as any other brand I've skated.

totally. love the team and company vibe but the deck is super heavy and a little disappointing. its a generator wood so it feels really durable but kind of soggy at the same time.
i bought a t-shirt from them and it was really good quality but hey its a tee and not a skate product.

Love Magenta and Isle but hate their flat ass pointy boards
I've had like 100 Magenta boards over the past 8 years and never once got a pointy one. I actually love the fact that they have proper round nose and tails and quite symmetrical shapes. They're definitely flat though, but like planman I like flat boards and always have, probably due to growing up on Girl decks in the early naughts.
Generator is my favorite but I've always liked PS Stix wood.

I prefer a flat deck too... these last many years I almost exclusively ride PS wood.
& my favourite wood & decks of all time are the girl boards pre the china wood. SUPER FLAT, amazing shapes. I used to ride the Colin MCkay or Rudy decks. I was lost when they switched over... then stereo relaunched & had amazing LOFI decks that were very similar to the girl ones.

you say that like snapping a board after 5 months isnt a shock
if it's lasting five months you're either skating something that looks like it went through a woodchipper or barely skating at all
