Review on Enhanced Pop and Durability: Bamboo Skateboards Graphic Skateboard Deck Only - Eco-Friendly Alternative to Maple by Tyrone Narvaez

Luckily I've only really used this on level ground. This board is so flexible it looks like it's going to break at any moment. In fact, after only 2-3 hours of a very simple level surface ramp, it broke in front of the rear trucks. I did a low kickflip and missed the bolts. I was just starting to get used to the board and here it is a bit - quite uncomfortable and I wasn't expecting that given all their statements about the strength of the board. Even if I jumped to do. Anyway, I could feel the flex of the tail and the board in the middle of the deck where my forefoot was also flexing and flexing. I don't know how to describe it other than feeling like a flexible/brittle piece of plywood. I'm 6ft 3" and about 200lbs, but I don't have this problem with maple decks and have never broken a board (believe it or not). I would never feel comfortable taking this off a small drop or even sliding the board over something *very* small. I think it must be a production error because other people don't seem to have the same problem. I'd say if you just want to move around and weigh next to nothing, maybe this is a good alternative to maple? Otherwise, just do your best to make your maple decks last longer by extending their lifespan simply by sanding and sanding sharp edges. I can't justify buying another $40 bamboo deck and I don't recommend them. I really want this board to work. I liked how light it was.
