What brand of skateboard has the best pop?

Question

ive had a darkstar nd a planb they both had pretty good pop but i have a friend tht says baker has the most pop..is this true?

Answer 1

It is indeed an opinion. I currently have an Alien Workshop X-Band for my street deck and have loved it. I live in humid as h**l Texas where it is common for a deck to "lose" it's pop due to warpage, similar to having to retune an acoustic guitar every five minutes here. I have had my AW for almost two years now and it has yet to lose it's pop. I think the secret is in the grain, rather than being 7 ply with the grain following the length of the board, each ply is rotated 45 degrees so the grain forms an "X." I bought it for the durability it promised and it has held up it's end of the bargain. A little heavier than my last Zero, but not so much to have a noticeable difference when skating.
