BOARD REVIEWS

Stud

MODEL: Stud 3
The same as the Stiffy just not so nice lookin'. OK for a copy I guess.

MODEL: Stud 4
Exactly the same as the Spluge made by Snakeboard, in fact they are both made in the same factory and the only difference is the colour of the bar and the design on the plates. If you can't find anywhere to buy a Spluge I suggest buying this one (thats if you can find anywhere that sells them).

This is were we come to the obscure minor manufacturers

Dimension

The newest board on the block, very heavily publicized.

MODEL:AS1
This is the best thing that has happened to snkeboarding since the spluge. This board is the only board made by streetboarders for streetboarders. The board can be bought from internet sites for around £150, it has a wider bar which makes bar slides, lip slides, crookeds, feebles, smiths and willie grinds a whole lot smoother and easier to do for long grinds. It also has aluminium Blunt pads, which stop your wheels from locking when in blunt slides. The whole board is about as light as a skinner but a lot tougher. If they do break replacement parts can be purchased, and thanks to a good design fixing the board is easy too.

Think Twice

This company has learned from the mistakes of others to make a nice board.

MODEL: tt 505/525/545
This is a great little board, great for all grinds and slides, big airs are no problem due to its light weight, this board is a very nice all rounder and is a pity that its not very well known. Only one thing wrong with it and that can't be helped, it breaks easily due to the extreme lightness. But that doesn't matter because if it didn't break it wouldn't be so light (there would be less point in having it). A good buy.

Spark

Weird board company.

MODEL: Spark
This board looks weird but is literally the same design as the Loadie from Snakeboard with out the lame built in binding system. The round disc (looks like a coaster for drinks)stuck to the middle of the board has no point what so ever unless you were sitting down to eat and you needed some where to put your drink. Seriously, it's ok. That's about it.

Clausen

The crappiest company on the board making side of things.

MODEL:Clausen
With a name the same as the manufacturer it is obvious that this company is not intending to expand to make new boards. Just as well because there one and only board is worse than the Syde Wynder, at least the Syde Wynder has a good name and has a purpose. A definite NO for purchase.

Alterskate

COOL board

MODEL: Alterskate
one of the best ideas for a streetboard. This board is small and compact with very simple built in bindings. It is obvious that it is not meant for hard core trick use, and with the novelty of a skoolboard it simply kicks. If you see one get it (and PLEASE sent me the details of where to get one).

There are just too many board reviews which are biased towards 'Snakeboard U.S.A' it's about time some one was fair.

This review is the one to trust as I have been as fair as possible in ALL cases.

To make things easier so that you won't have to read the whole review (you lazy people) the boards are in order of niceness under each of the different manufacturers, first being the scummiest last being the most God like.
