The first one broke on the inner holes of the nose while ollieing into a small drop and landing in the worst possible position. The second one was actually on a flatground ollie over a parking block, landed a bit weird and cracks started to show around the middle of the deck. It's not like I'm ollieing down 10 stairs on them or anything. It all happened during low impact stuff where I mess up on my landing.
Yeah I would say that happens with heavy or weird landings, regardless of woodshop.
I have even seen a near new carbon fibre board tail break through the inner bolts on a flat ground flip trick when the guy was so intent on landing it (with brute force), more so than any control, so a normal wood deck is definitely going to break quickly enough with the wrong landings.
People like the guy I am referring to still break boards - all brands, all wood types - and almost always complain about the wood quality, but everyone who skates with him knows how it really is, which is 99% related to his heavy landings.
Anyway, that was not in any way a reference to anyone on here, but more so just a general observation.
Any board of any size can and will break with bad landings, or specific pressure in certain areas.
It sure does suck even more when they are so hard to find or are in limited supply like those Heroin decks.
