hey i was wondering if anyone here likes rodney mullen..to be honest hes a great skateboarder but hes too much of a sellout like tony hawk..plus..he supports "Dwindle" companies (chinese) and their products are to get to the point cheap and nuts quality..i would never buy any of their products..tensor, speed demons, birdhouse, blind, darkstar..theres a couple..remember those brands..the end.

but another arguement to my point which i recently found out is that the "Dwindle" decks are hand made and other companies have a set mold and produce five decks at once..this can also prove an arguement that these decks are good..see for yourself i guess..i never like mullen either..i like tom penny and appleyard.

*Baker=most are heavy  -smooth ride  *birdhouse=easy to break -extended tail witch can be nice for vert  *blind=ok boards but most are tooo small or too big(takes a while to get used too) *Zero=nice boards nice for boardsliding ;D but they get pressure cracks for landing wrong *lucky=lasts a long time ;D but not good for begginers  *Flip=not very good Flip so gay name but paint dosnt scrath off as easy  *enjoi=good for basic tricks but gay paint jobs  *World Industries= nice pop on some of there boards cracks easy so not the type for grinding *Termite= olny thing i have to say about these are there too d**n small i cant skate on them  who knows give them a shot for the little ones *Shortys-small but skateable broke mine in 2 days so i dont know much except dont olie huge gaps *status lasts a while (hard to break) ;D they look gay and hard to skate with on vert *Hook ups Hot women on your board  what else could you ask for *Dark star crappy and still like $150  *Dogtown Old skool  i guess if ya like it *Girl never had one but i know they skate good someone told me they where light *Element good board fiber light kicks ass took a whil to break *Lib technologys- last a while but screwed up my trucks not cool *Crime New but more of a poser board from what i hear *Krooked like olny a few boards and they all stink *blanks Cheep and still skate just as good as most other boards *Black label there ok but not much good to say about them Best place to get a board/trucks/bearings/risers shocks/tools/wheels/clothing/shoes ((((((www.Skateamerica.com)))))) |

I think that there are many skaters out there of which deserve respect for what they do in my opinion rodney m. is one of them the tricks that he lays down are some of the many tricks that i could only dream of landing he is a good man but he is no sell out tony hawk and shaun white are the only ones that i know about
