Review on ๐ŸŽ‹ Pop, Strength, and Sustainability ว€ Bamboo Skateboards Blank Skateboard Deck by Bob Jensen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I do my tricks like Chad Muska jumping the river and I'm certified 225

The board felt a little different at first. I didn't really like the concavity and shape, not the material. I'm still very confident that bamboo skateboards will catch on as a replacement for maple. From an ecological point of view, it is a much less harsh resource to grow. I do my tricks like Chad Musk jumping the river and I have 225. The board broke after my fourth ride. For me it's a normal ride as I still encounter stairs and railings. I still break a lot of boards and that's the nature of the sport. I never thought I'd say this, but a softer concave will help distribute the hit better on this board. The shape still doesn't distribute the energy in the right places. Just my opinion. Everyone has their own preferences for board shape and flexibility.
