Who's tried em? i want to know what theyre like before i spend money on one. how is the shape and the fact that its only 4 plies? also is the graphic the one that wears like a skateboard?

cheers.

i havnt had one but i have heard that they are amazing...personaly i think you should buy a forgiven fingerboard though..just sayin haha

High kicks, great pop, great ply combo's, one thing that I don't like personally, is that they quite thin, but strong.

High kicks and concave, mine took quite long to get used to but it's one of my favourite decks out of all I've tried

But they have a low shape which looks sick!

Never had one, but I've never seen a thrashed one with like no graphic. I'm pretty sure they are heavily lacquered.

I think the shape I tried was the medium shape? Either way, it was sick as fook. I want the 'travel' graphic soo bad

AMAZING
GO BUY ONE NOW
I like the shape better than a BW, because the kicks heights are a little more even
also the defined dips give it a great feel
4 plies feels great, the pop is a bit less 'solid', but I like it better that way.
I'm pretty sure that the graphic would wear if your rode concrete or something, but I do tons of boardslides and the graphic is fine, a lot of lacquer.

Flaked+BRTs+FBS tape+FF wheels is probably my favorite combo ever, I don't think I'm going back to five plies.

yeah im most concerned with the board being 4 plies. is it as strong as a 5ply or do you feel its flimsy-ness?

It doesn't feel flimsy, just, idk, different. I do tricks better on four plies. It gives it a less 'strong' feel when you pop the board I guess, but tons of pop. I think you should definitely try one.
I am way better on 4 plies.

do you find that the deck ibrates a bit when you pop? also HOW THE HECK DO I USE THE FLAKED SITE.

IDK, the flaked site is weird. I got mine on flatface and told mike which one I wanted and he gave me that.
And no I don't think it vibrates, it's really not as flimsy as you would think, but the four plies just gives me the perfect pop.
I think that you can search which graphic you want at the top though.

just ordered the flaked 2011 team yellow medium shape flaked deck.
CAAAANT WAIT

Like everybody said, they do seem like they would be flimsy, but they're really solid and strong.

I was comparing a flaked deck to a woodguest deck at Rendezvous, they are both similar in shape, but the flaked has slightly higher kicks, and maybe a tiny bit more concave.

All in all, I think that you'll be happy with your purchase

im honoured that you spent your first post on this forum to my thread

welcome to the forum!

Thanks man! Not too many people get to compare decks in the flesh (until they get them in the mail), so I figured I'd lend you my experience.

And ya, thanks for taking my FBHQ comment virginity, lol
