| Hey! My local shop has some polar decks and I like how they look! I'm not a pro ... Right now, I just land ollies and shuvits , but my deck is already preety trashed since it was given to me by another local skater who had bought a new one for him. The shop has my size and everything but I'm kinda thinking if it's worth the shot or not. Have you ever tried it? What have you heard about the brand? Thanks for the help |

| I have a friend who basically swears by them. They got big in the trend, but they're actually pretty good boards. I say go for it if you're looking for a new board anyway. |

I mean, it'll be worth it, but I personally hate spending anymore than 40 on a skateboard (I'll spend 50 if I have to, but I usually just check out sale shit on sites. If you got the funds and really really wanna try a Polar, go for it. I'd love to get one, but as I said before, too expensive for me. |

| They're normal price.. not sure when paying $50-55 for a deck became too expensive. They've always been that price. They're pressed by Generator woodshop, which is one of the better woodshops out there in my opinion, quality boards. My last 3 decks have been Polar and I back them fully. |

It's not expensive in the scope of skateboard prices, I'm just cheap so I try not to spend more than 40 on a board. That's just me though |

| Huh? I don't think Welcome is made by the same people as Polar Go for it , really any deck at your shop will do the trick (heh get it) I skate whatever deck is in my size and whatever company I feel like supporting at the time , I don't think a certain brand will make your better, just find a size you like and skate! |

| I like my polar, they don't snap as easy as some boards and have a fair bit of pop but mine razertailed faster that I would of liked however I always ride on fucked up ground. My personal favourite decks are NHS decks (creature, flip, santa cruz) and bakerboys (heroin, baker, deathwish) and deluxe (real, antihero, krooked) |
