Advantages:
Light. Alien Workshops are ligher than most decks.
Disadvantages:
They are not as strong as most decks.
Comments:
Alien workshops are not that good, unless you get a slick! The plain wood sucks, they snap pretty easy! If you get a slick they would last a lot longer.
Advantages:
They have good pop, weight and flex
Disadvantages:
Not as strong expected
Comments:
This deck was really good up to a point where it just fell apart. Mine snapped after only a couple of months. Review by Josh Smit
Advantages:
They have good pop and flex
Disadvantages:
Chip easy
Comments:
These decks are really good! They flex alot!When I landed in the middle of the board it would flex and not crack or chip. The shape was good , good nose and tail, ok concave.
*UPDATE*
I bought another deck, because I thought that, it would be just as good as my last one, it did have great pop, shape and concave, but oh was I ever wrong. I skated it a total of 6 times and it snapped, while doing an acid drop off a 5 foot ledge! I have changed my mind on ATMs' and will not buy another one again.Advantages:
Strong and thick
Disadvantages:
Chip easy and are kinda heavy
Comments:
This was my first real deck.They chip kind of easy though.They are a bit heavy! The shape was ok, it was fat and barely any concave.
Advantages:
Strong and thick, nice pop.
Disadvantages:
little bit heavy
Comments:
I have tryed my friends Birdhouse, and I would have to say that they have really good pop! I mean lots!! They are strong, but with a lot of strong boards comes weight, and that is the only thing that I can think of that is a disadvanage to it.
Lots of pop, but dont last long. Review by Neil Campbell
Perfect width for me, lots of concave and nice feel. It lasted 6 months, then the tail snapped. Review by Darrell
Advantages:
Stiff Glue makes the board rock solid, good pop and shape
Disadvantages:
They may chip or crack easy, but not sure.Comments:
I have tryed a blind to see what it was like. The Stiff Glue made the board realy hard and made a cool snap sound when popping ollies. The shape was pretty good, the nose and tail where steep so it made ollies easier.
These board are the strongest boards ever! They last forever! Reveiw by Steve Hapercorn.
Blinds are crap! Review by Darrell
Advantages:
Cheapest board you can buy that will last as or if not longer than most brand name boards
Disadvantages:
No common shape or strength , they all vary.Comments:
These decks for me vary. I have had one for 7 months and one for 4 months. The shapes vary, I like steep everything and sometime the only 8 inch in the store will have mellow concave or mellow tail and nose, so I try my best to get the board that it good for me.

Advantages:
Nice pop, concave and shapes and cheap ($40) including grip!
Disadvantages:
Snaps and delams!
Comments:
This is the only board that I have stood on and was use to it right a way! The concave and pop where good! It did however snap after 3 months, but lately I have been going through boards fast so, i would say that it lasted pretty long for what I put it through.
Lasted me a long time, no delam, until Brian fuckin snapped it!!. Review by Darrell
Advantages:
Strong, good pop, good concave and a coating of SSD.
Disadvantages:
Looks a little bit like a banana board.
Comments:
I was really "iffy" about getting this board, mainly because it looked a little bit like a banana board, but I am really glad I bought it because it is strong, has good pop and the shape is good and the SSD coating makes it slide really good over anything. If it holds up for a while I will for sure buy a new one.
They kick ass, lots of pop, long lasting, all around good boards. Review by Neil Campbell
Advantages:
Shit has got pop!! Strong
Disadvantages:
Heavy. Paint comes off with few tail slides.
Comments:
Even though i have never had one, i have had the change to ride one. They kick ass!! They are strong! The shape was really good, but the concave was not that steep as I would have liked it!
"This shits got NO pop!", plys where really thin and graphic come off very easy. Review by Ryan Rogers.
The sickest skate I ever had, lasted about a year! Then it was "punked" by some gay kid! Review by Darrell
Advantages:
Light, nice shape and pop
Disadvantages:
Chips super easy, wears out quick.
Comments:
I finally bought a painted deck, just so I can say that I had one. Status used to be Zorlac, so I bought one of thier decks with out question. It was only 60 Canadian, so I thought it was a good deal. That is until I started to ride it. I wears out so quick, no wonder it was only 60! It has nice pop and shape. It is strong , but chips real easy. I have rode it for less than a month and the nose is killed. I dont think I would get another one cause I dont think it is worth it.
Advantages:
Excellent pop, concave, strong
Disadvantages:
None yet.Comments:
Great board! Had great pop, concave and is strong! Review by Darrell
Advantages:
Paint doesnt come off that easy, ok pop, strong.
Disadvantages:
Doesnt slide that well, ok pop.Comments:
I bought one a Snow Jam for 40 CND flat, so I couldnt go wrong. It does have a nice shape and the paint seems to never wear out, but the pop is ok, it is good, but not that great. Plus it doesnt really slide that well, it could be because I am use to Powell's SST coating. It is strong and does hold up well for what I put it through!
Advantages:
Strong, shape lasts a long time
Disadvantages:
Chips after long period of use
Comments:
They are strong and last a long time, they have a good pop too!. Reveiw by Steve Tennant
Steve gave me his World board because I snapped my blank, I love it! I can't beleave that that board has lasted that long! It is amazeing! The slick bottom made it really easy to slide on anything.
Advantages:
Shape lasts long time!! Strong and medium weight
Disadvantages:
none
Comments:
I just got a Zorlac, It is longest lasting board that I have had in a while. It has lasted longer then I would have thought. I love the shape! The pop is really good and they are pretty strong.
