ELEMENT is awesome it is the best board 4 grinding kickflips 360s element rocks I don't care what you think but its the best board ever!
My first board is an element but I have ride and other boards too and I notice the difference between all them! I surely prefer element at least now
Element in my opinion is by far the best brand out there the helium is unbelievable awesome awesome and once again awesome
More comments about Element+57plan be is the best because plan be has a lot of pro skaters and not only just pros but one of the best skaters in the universe and plan be has better pop.
+44It is the best board ever! It has the best pop and durability. Element should not be first it should be third. But if your looking for style and pop and durability buy a plan b!
+38Way better then element
I hated my element they chip a lot
Element should be fifth I think because the do not last very long at all
+23God! Zero's are awesome! They're better than element and plan be put together!
+20Zero are the best by far! Why is it not number 1 zero forever death to non believers
+18Zero's have sick graphics and awesome pop! But how the hell is element in front of Zero? I mean element is good but compared to zero? Forget it!
More comments about Zeroalmost is amazing. I've had my board for a year and it hasnt chipped or anything. their graphics are amazing looking and the paint doesn't chip. almost rules!
I have lots of skatboarding gear and my favorite is almost
Almost last so long, they're badass, great pop... they are the only boards I get now
More comments about AlmostPretty sick boards. The pop is fantastic and the boards are very durable. Very light and reliable. Enjoiy is the way to go.
Enjois have epic pop I have the pen and ink board, I know it feels heavy but it still get better pop than any other board I've tried, plus it's extremely strong, not even a crack yet and I've had it for a year
I've had an enjoi board for about 2 years now and it is great, no more to be said
More comments about EnjoiI just got my Blind Ransom deck about month ago and It's perfect. Blind has the best graphics of all time.
Sick graphics and strong board. Once my blind skateboard got run over by a car and its still in perfect shape
Blind rocks I have a blind bloody original and it rocks.
blindsk8ter
More comments about BlindBaker has so much pop its the best so if you bye one it will never brake
Baker is where its at I've got like 3 bakers and they're all the best boards. I've had flip, blind and zero none stand up 2 baker.
Best in the world matey got one for myself one of the best in the world can do kick flips and all sorts
More comments about BakerDark star is amazing runs smoothly zero rocks too amazing and has great design and it should be up there and not down here it rocks
I just orderd a darkstar skatebaord the other day I think I made a good choice.
Darkstar is the best skateboard brand in my opinion, and it is going to stay that way for a very long time. Peace out my homies!
More comments about DarkstarI bought my flip 4 flat ground. The next day I landed a kick flip for my very first time. Enough said flip is a sick brand
Flip is better than element and zero it should be #1
RandomZebraChild
I think the flip is the best because it is really good pop and it lands good. I've saw someone use it and it did really good flips and landings it should be first and element should be last.
Birdhouse is the best and so is hawk... How could you not like the great quality and pop of the birdhouse brand board
I got a skate board just this month its awesome birdhouse has great pop and its an amazing board to learn tricks
Really good board and good durability and I personally would rate this board a lot higher than 10 come this is tony hawks brand and tony hawks the best skater ever!

The Contenders
This brand should be on top best brands ever I don't know why it is ranked 11 sweetest graphics ever an best pop better then pro 2 boards don't have nearly as much pop than furl
I've got an enjoi but gotta admit girl are kick ass
Girl is the best. Why do you think they have all the great pros like Mike Mo, Mike Carrol, Sean Malto, Eric Koston, etc. Element sucks. I can ollie twice as high with girl than I can with element, birdhouse, blind, zero, and all other brands. You people have problems.
More comments about Girl+10Alien Workshop RULE. It was the first good skateboard I got. its very light and pops amazing. I liked it so much I got anouther alien workshop
Arto Saari aws soldier series. its sick!
alienworkshopskater123
+5AMAZING just got my AWS and its AMAZING its light and strong. Not to be forgotten the price they are super cheap I recommend these to anybody. Please go out and buy one. With riders like steve berra, jason dill, and rob dyrdek they make alien workshop even better!
+5AWS have to be the best skateboards ever! Amazing concave, lightness, and pop make this board great for all tricks
More comments about Alien Workshop+7Zoo york has a distinct way of shaping there board that makes it excel, I wouldn't ride anything else
+6so cool I have 22 and a half boards (one of them broke while I was grinding) I have 10 zoo york sk8 boards and they are the most lightest nice shoes
+4I love zoo york because it lastes long got great pop and neva breaks or chips
World industries rules and should be at the top its simply the best skate brand out there
WORLD INDUSTRIES RULE IT IS BY FAR THE BEST I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT"S LAST IT SHOULD BE #1 I MEAN COME ON ZERO SHOULD BE #0 ON THE LIST AND ELEMENT SHOULD BE #2.
World Industries RULES I got mine in January and now its October I've been skating hard and it ain't snapping soon, moderately cheep too! WORLDS RULE
More comments about World IndustriesMystery's r awesome Zeros are cool but i cant trust dem! And Darkstar and Elements are too heavy.. Mystery beats any board forget freakin 12 its #1
MusicGalSyd3
they are the best the never snapped and I had them for 2 years and it is cool too
sk8erboi
they have okay pop and most of the graffics aren't bout hell (like zero) and great flip and durability
More comments about Mysterytoy machine is the best decks ever and they are rated the best decks ever but i dont understand why element is first becuase my friend had one and it broke in a month and he is 11
cheese
How the hell are toy machine boards20, there really good and should be in the top 12, anyways, world industry boards are crap they should be last
mcarzwashere

anthonymcfadden
More comments about Toy MachineDgk boards is all I skate I couldn't live without them
dgk all day best board I've had doesn't snap like the blind boards they last a long time they are underrated dgk all day
DGK ALL DAY CUZ EVEN THOUGH THEY UNDERRATED THEY HAVE GREAT POP AND DON'T BREAK EASILY
get one now =]
I have went through several brands like DVS and the shoes never worked to for me. I skate daily and I skate long. So I tried Ryan Smith 2.0's and they were durable.
violentduckz
Obviously its the most famous and the guy who made it has had 3 t.V. Shoes and the brands just awesome
Dude there skate shoes not skateboards and the skateshoes have gitten crapper over the years even more gimmiky than element.
Baker!
I just got my first Habitat on Friday and I already to teach my self to do a heel flip in 30 min
It is durable and watt better than any other skateboard brand out there. Nice and Sexy ;)
Habitat has to do with animals and plants. The best design of Habitat is called the Coat Of Arms. Habitat is a recommended brand.
XxSpitfire34109xX
More comments about HabitatChoclate is the best but there skinnyer boards and ya element is horrible they chip easily and don't last long plus choclate has really good pop and is a nice ride best deck ever.
wo! I'm shocked to see this amazing brand at 19! WTF I've had santa cruz decks, powell decks, darkstar decks, etc... but my new chocolate deck is the best by far! perfectly rounded POP! long lasting and strong. yes the designs arent the best but who cares. the shape and pop are the important bit. so overall! CHOCOLATE ARE NUMBER 1! :D
these boards rock light and very good at tricks
get won
Dude Black Label and Blind are sick as But Plan B should be way in front of element
dudewheresmyskatie
I cannot beleve world boards are in front of black label. because
world boards are crap!
Ive got a blacklabel its oregon its lasted my cuz for 3-5 years he gave it to me ive had it for a month its abit heavy since its the older kind
More comments about Black Labelreal best designs best material I did a frontside flip on one first try and I can't do it on any other board
great deck only just got it but I love it good for fliptricks and awesome graphics
real is by far the best fliptrick board it may notbe good fer grinds but if you like fliiping real'
More comments about RealIt's a really good board and it has an amazing concave, the board never snaps and I love it. each time I fall of the board I get angry, but when I see the nice pink chess design under the board it makes me happy. speed demons is the best. and I love the board.
robinokal15
this is sick! it was my first board an I've had it for 3 yrs and it only has 1 tiny chip. I'm not saying it's the best but its way better than element and real. plus it has sick graphics
yeah i got one now its got realy good pop and bearings are great also good trucks!!!!!!!!
More comments about Speed DemonsI've ridden SantaCruz boards since 1983 and still buy em. If this company and there boards have been around as long as I've been skating you known there solid! Powell boards are just as good.
They are simply unstoppable, highest ollie, longest ollie, most pop, sick designs, NEVER breaks and is light and great for tricks. The board for a 720 gazzelle flip ;)
Dippy
Best pop and cool I have a blind deck and speed demons deck I like them both love santa cruz
More comments about Santa Cruzreally good designs and they are just totally epic has decent prices
These boards are perfect! perfect shape (for me anyways) medium concave (which is better than deep or mellow in my opinion) perfect shape of the tail and nose, and have perfect pop (which last FOREVER) they're very durable too. Everything is perfect but why they're ranked so low is because not many people get deluxe boards than come here to write about how awesome they are.
One of the best boards I've ever road and its a shame that people hardly know of them or never tried one, along with vreatures.
Best sk8 shoes I have ever had good quality and don't tear up easily. I have worn nothing but vans for years.
They make really good shoes that people of all ages like including my 50 year old grandma
DA best In DA World. Rides smooth.:]
Awesome board. Fast wheels. Smooth ride. Good trucks. I really like it! Manuels really well and best graphics out there.
Good for beginners. I used mine and its still not broken (6 months) but I can't land a trick..
My first board yeah it rides smooth has a good pop scratches quite easily but makes brands like monster seem like ironing boards
One the best brands it is really easy to ride and has great control and amazing wheel
+6Creature skateboards should be in the top ten because they have great pop and sweet designs
+5Awesome skateboards... Made the same as Santa Cruz and Flip, and deserve to be in the top 10. Awesome pop and flip recommend to everyone!
+2All I have to say is Creature boards are nearly indestructible. They have a nice feel to them and not to mention they have a sweet design. I skate plenty of different boards but my favorite is my Creature board.
More comments about Creaturereal good clothing good team riders and awesome brand
this one pwns noobs 2 the max
They make really good jackets and shirts and good jeans to
I love Enuff best skateboard I've ever had the pop is excellent I reckon it should at least in the top 30
how the hell is element first enuff are legend boards and no wonder yr airwalk isn't broke you probely can't ollie I had 1 did a caveman off the wall and it snapped and by the way rodney mullan skates
enjoi
enuff are unbeliveable pop I landed a 720 varial kickflip over a funbox really sharp turning and are quite cheap I paid £60 plus my reds which were a tenner
Foundation boards are amazing. Great pop and quality boards. Not to mention a good team with lots of good riders I mean what about duff
good skater and good boards
fallen are the sickest shoes I landed my first backside treflip in them there actually very amazing lasted a long time and I've had 2 or more pairs of them I recommend these they should be frist
never had a pair want one though
cheap and good boards. should be anyones starting board.
krown is sooo good their new and awsome i had a world board i couldnt do tricks on it my first day with akrown i did a heelflip
it's EXTREME! and cheap yo. Whoa it's is super. so cool too. and they really have great boards. Not always the best boards though.
its a really good board and they are cheap 2 but there really skinny so if u like your board fat dont get one and there heavy 2
+4I love bone this skate is best of my all skates. This skate is fast and easy for ride bone is supers
+4Bones wheels run smoothly.
The decks comfortable and very strong
When I got my Bones deck it was very fast and I could do a kick flip muck easy then my last deck.
Flip is good too
THEIR WHEELS WONT POP THE BERING when YOU LAND A HIGH OLLIE
Good brand, decent prices.
Also a great pro deck line.
violentduckz
They are badass nice grip and the best especial the Jerry hsu staygold promodel and Leo romero 2 promodel
deathwish is the best! has the best concave, pop, designs, theme and all! bakerboys ftw! :D
deatwish makes so easy to land tricks they should be at the and elment really bad that most people say
Just got a death wish deck and its fking awesome! The graphics is good the logo is good best brand ev
Pro decks quality trucks and a smooth ride and skinny wells all and all its worth the money
I had one. For some reason the grip tape comes off VERY easily, thats never happened to any of my other boards. Trucks are ok, just a descent board.
Awesome board. Cool graphics but not good in doing ollies and stuff. A very smooth ride.
Etnies are only number 42 because hey mostly specialize in shoes. There good for getting girls.
Awesome.... Eric Koston is the best in the world
SOOooOO CooLLiestt Show ever! (Lakai Channel) Very comfortable while bording and the design is very nice! Search for this show, its GREEAATTTTT
the mongoose was one of the best boards I've ever had. its a good beginner board.
Stereo vinyl cruisers are the best. Even though they're small, they have amazing handling and have a decent wheel spin.
NOBODY LIKES THEM THEY SNAP IN HALF VERY EASILY SO FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE WITH TARGET BOARDS GET A NEW BOARD.
COMPLETE TRASH I'm TELLING YOU! IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE BOARDS YOU BETTER GET OFF OF IT AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! GET A POSITIV OR A BIRDHOUSE BOARD. MAYBE A DARKSTAR BUT THIS IS AN EPIC FAIL!
They do make great wheels, and bearings. They are insane.
violentduckz
Spitfire is effn crisp great strong urethane wheels they wear in outrageously fast spitfire all the way wouldn't ride any thing else
Spit fire wheels are great they protect your bearings real good
Hurley surfing stuff is B3@$T. Not a skater though. But I Surf all the time and there regular clothing is awesome
they use skating scientists to make the shoes
army555
They are awesome shoes I have a pair of renzos and I loved them and they were so cool and good to skate with till I tore them up
first skateboard probably best I've ever tried I'm probably going to stay with this brand for a while
Sector nine skateboards are sick. I just got one and its the sickest skateboard ever. The wheels are awesome, the bearings are awesome, the deck is awesome and the design is awesome. Sector nine rocks.
They make great bearings. I got some about a month ago and they are still not that bad. My friend just got an ATM deck, he's not good so I would recomend the decks to begginers.
I've have an atm board for a while now and I love it it hasn't broken yet... I would recommend this board to anyone who loves to skateboard
I ride cliché Joey is on cliché ehh carbon light boards and keystone boards cliché all THE way
I ride cliché and it very nice. The pop is one of the best pops ever
Cliche a lot like girl or choclate nice and buttery perfect size
very good beginner board
or just to do stupid or wacky stuff that you don't wanna do with your good board
Amazing pop brother jealous after getting a cliche shame to him haha.
I recommend Venture Superlites. They are really the best trucks they make it so much easier to kickflip and ollie [specially stairs] you should definitely get one if you wanna do flip tricks =]
Sk8mafia have amazing pop, great board all round. Mint designs, mellow concave, long lasting. Highly recommended.
you know there are better boards than this and people say tony hawk sucks but if he never skated some of these brands would have never been invented so this is why I worship the guy
you know there are better boards than this tony hawk but if he never skated some of these brands would have never been invented so
Light Trucks That Are Had To Snap
Element Is THE WORST BRAND EVER!
brilliant deck
lots of pop good kick
just the best
I'm surprised. He teaches how to make stuff outa wood. Not make skateboards. Th boards look great!
Don't know about the skateboards but the make in surfing and surf boards and clothing is AWESOME!
duad indis are actually pretty light and they make good quality stuff there bearings are good too thrasher
Heavy trucks, but good for grinding. * if you are a beginner I suggest royals or ventures. *
violentduckz
Sick graphics and great wood. Their clothing is dope too, high quality fabric and fresh designs. Watch out for the Birdz!
very good board just as good as birdhouse and darkstar
I got this board 2 years ago, and it just snapped it goes about madium sppeed it has good pop and it will chip very easy though I would give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars
not a well known brand...but the strongest ive ever had and has had the longest lasting pop.
i love dvs's i wear them everyday!!!!!!!!! and i love steve o damn hes sooooo sexi
Screw element plan b and skate are the best I've been ride a shane o'neill board and it hasn't broken over the past year
Pictures on it sexy and awesome pop and good speed its not my favorite in performance but picture is my favorite
A good wood was my first board I got it when I was 3 yrs old when I got it and they wont chip I still got it and its almost brand new
bullet is sane. great pop. learnt to suvit in 3 min.
autobahn has the best bearings i reccomend these bearings they are the best. i can ride halfway down my road .2miles with this board
Best wheels I've ever owned! Never flatspots!
They go through any type of surface Street, Pavement, Brick whatever it is Autobahn can do it!
Best wheels I ever rode on, they don't ware out quick and never get slatspots, I would recommend anyone skating heavy street
best pop ever I can ollie a foot higher on popwar vs almost or darkstar amazing boards insanely light better than anything its a shame the went out of business
Popwars RULE!
