Anyone ever get blank boards from Blankdecks.com http://www.blankdecks.com/ ? Their prices are really good...Black Panther bearings for $15.99, Bones Reds for $13.99, trucks are well priced, etc. But how is the quality of the blank boards they sell...anyone have experience? I don't really like spending $40 and $50 for graphics, if I can get blanks that are just as good of quality for $17-$25. |

I don't have personal experience with this company's boards, but I ride blanks now exclusively. They hold up just as good as label decks & they typically have equal pop. Go for it & see if you like it. If you don't, you're only out $20 (rather than the $50 you'd spend on a label deck). |

Just ordered a couple blanks from blankdecks.com (for me and a friend) and should have them next week - we'll see about their quality/performance. Got the California Blank for $16.99 _________________ Boat: 2000 Pro Air Nautique

It's interesting, label decks are $50.00 over there in the US, but $140-160 over here. Even with shipping and the exchange rate, that doesn't add up. We are getting shafted. _________________ Terminate high thinking |

hey hey,
i am a regular buyer from blankdecks dot com. they rock. ive been riding for 5 years and have ordered more then 15 decks from there. the prices are great and their maple is rock hard. I dont buy anything else. hope it helps. i skate the traditional mold a lot but i would suggest to stay away from like the ultra steep concaves they hold but break easier. the control concave is really shallow but the traditional and the board with pop are spectacular. good luck and keep skatin"

I'd rather have a board with a deadly graphic. I just dont want to pay much for it. Anyone know of any cheap decks with really good graphics? |
