Whoever is charging $95 a deck in canada is swindling everyone. Average price is between $75 and $65.

In Norway the average price for a deck is about 115 dollars... so dont complain.

the only boards around here with that price are exp-1 boards, so I'm stoked
(the other kayo-wood is 30 dollars more though)

[angryfacedman]

how is everyone feelin' about their stage 10s?
how are the bushings on them?
my stage 9s are about to be put to rest, not sure if i wanna pay less and get stage 9s again that i love, or pay a tad more and feel up to date, haha.

i highly doubt you can tell the difference, its the same truck just a bit different baseplate.

As long as they are Indys you cant go wrong

[Randozzi]

can't tell the difference. i still think the kingpin is lower but that may be just wishfull thinking.

personally, i think colored trucks grind slower and more controlled than raw trucks

i was just talking to my friend last week about the almost impact warranty where if you snap your board there, you get a new one, and i was saying i don't see how that would be possible. my friend was telling me it's possible and one of his friends did it. i sort of proved myself wrong. sucks too, cuz that chocolate (7.8 mj) had the best shape of any board i've ever skated. i love their low concave. another coincidence is that when i was setting up my last board at the shop, the dude saw that my snapped one had split/ delam'd and told me that next time that happens, come back and he'll hook me up with a new one. i'm gonna take this one in because it pretty much just split from the sides.

btw:
[snapped] chocolate mj 7.8
stage 9 indys
bone swiss
reynolds baker wheels
b/w jlays

trust me, crailtap won't replace that deck.  you got a good amount of use out of it and the snap is your fault not the boards construction.  if your local shop owner wants to take a loss for the deck, than so be it.  but crailtap is really strict with replacements.

[HGDhero]

^^^
Yeah crailtap isnt gonna replace that. Almost and Darkstar do offer limited warrienties on some of their decks, but you send it back to them directly. Also has to be withing a month of purchase, so keep receipt..

its strong for sure and it kept its pop even after it got razortailed.  i usually setup a new board before then, but its hard to switch it up when the old one is still treating you right.
i'm not really into gimmicks or new technology when it comes to board construction(i'm a 7-ply maple kind of guy)but these bamboo boards have been the exception to the rule.  me likes it!
