9/10, i'll skate it until it breaks or even if 5 of the 7 plys are cracked i'll still skate it.

[gravel pitch]

i skate them until I can afford another.

[crackrazor]

I fucking hate razor-tail.

[skasta]

i skate it til the shape or the sides of the nose/tail are fucked up and splitting. then i get a new board and focus the old one.

It depends.  Usually until it breaks. I've skated boards that are cracked in the middle, chipped on the nose and tail, and the grip is pretty much all skated off. I was good on it though, since it was a gradual change.

I do agree

A deck isn't really broken until it's snapped in two, and you can't pop + land anymore.  Which is how mine must be be before I set up new one.

Though, when my deck is getting really haggard, I'll try to skate bigger stuff (4 stairs) to try and finish it.  I love landing tricks with board that's ready to snap.

since i got a job, i ussually buy one every two weeks or so. i dont have anything else to buy with the dough cause i dont have a licence or anything. i ussually chip the nose really bad or have massive razor tail by then anyway.

Im too light to snap a deck. only done it twice.

[biggums mcgee]

once I crack a board I'll usually go out and order a new one. hopefully the board lasts until the new one comes....although last time this happened Lance sent me one priority and it came in two days!


on another note, I wish I could show you all how fully fucked my trucks are. over two years old, and they're clinging on with five pieces of hardware. matt rodriguez would be happy!

[Nancy Chin The Manicurist]

i go through about 1 to 2 boards a year; I go through dry spells where i don't skate for months.

[red deer.]

i usually get one every 2 weeks, then hand the old one down to someone i skate with whos younger and has no money for boards/shoes. my love for new shoes and boards works in his advantage.

[bumptobar]

never till it breaks since ive only broken 3 boards skating.

Usually one every 3 or 4 weeks for me.

[MyUserName]

until i can shave with it.

[bothersome]

All my boards break, it's just a matter of when. Nothing lasts me longer than 2 weeks unless it's the winter and I'm only skating my ramp..

i'm always surprised to find that people who go through boards often go through a similar amount of boards on the ramp in the winter. I guess is just that coming down real hard on the board, regardless of what type of terrain you're skating

[Edward Penishands]

every 2 weeks on the dot....................i'm a baller so fresh boards are a must.

[Say Hi]

I pretty much always change the board before it breaks, I do it when it looses the pop. Basically because I'm too much of a pussy when it comes to jumping down some stuff.

[Cheapboarder]

Being a 120 pound weakling, I skate my boards until like 7-9 months or of course till I want a new one (that doesn't happen a lot).

[Guile]

im pretty much always skating a board i grabbed from someone else so its usually in pretty good condition but im known to skate a board till there is no nose left and the tail has no griptape. this probably explains why i only skate sidewalk height manual pads and dont pop any of my tricks......

[jalopy james]

skate it til it breaks. then hang that shit on the wall.

[carbonite]

I do it when it looses the pop. 

Yeah, you can tell when it starts to feel like a soggy french fry that it's time for a new board. That and/or when the nose and/ore tail become a trapezoid.

[CUM DUMPSTER]

I skate it until it looks like a piece of shit.
