| Like in fingerboarding, it's all about preference, you cant say that this brand is better than this one. If you like strong boards with a good amount of concave, go for real, krooked, or if you want to support smaller companies, magenta. If you like flat boards, go for crailtap boards (girl, chocolate). And also, check out polar skateboard, it's a new little rad compagnie made by Pontus Alv. A good thing to do is to go to your local skateshop, and ask the shop keeper wich board will be better for you. If it's a good skateshop, he'll always have good advices . Hope I've helped you . |

I have rode all 6 expcept krooked. But toy machine was a little disappointing. Same with Zero. but I still recommend them. |

| I've always been happy with Blind, and my World Industries deck is pretty nice. Haven't skated in a while though, and haven't bought a brand new deck in years, so I dunno what's up these days. |

| Oh, Native up here in sunny Newcastle do some pretty nice decks. Never ridden one, but they're really popular up here, and you can buy them up online. |

| If you get a plastic cruiser, get a penny. But you wouldn't do anything except rolling. If you want to do tricks or at least having the possibility to pop an ollie to jump over the curbs without having to grab your board, get a wooden cruiser with indy's and good cruiser wheels. Bones or oj's makes good ones. |
