  Hey guys need some input. Anybody know of a good skate brand, kinda mid priced but good quality decks? Just snapped my Fracture after 2 weeks and wasn't impressed with it's performance (started flexing wildly after about a week). Just set up my last spare so need to buy another couple of back ups, but can't afford any of the huge brands (plus been skating for 10 years now so I know the price tag doesn't always indicate quality). All suggestions appreciated. Later.

  Yeah I've realised Fracture dont hold any sort of quality. Have an old mini logo as a spare, was a great deck, even if the concave is a little deep for me. Will check out Blueprint, cheers guys.

  Look at Witchcraft, Creature and the Burnquist Flip boards are around this size. Powell have some ripper boards in this size as well as cheaper mini logo decks. Happy huntin.

  jart decks are ok. only like 35 quid, although the graphics are a bit boring. could always get a cheap enuff, last long and ok pop. black sheep does some enuff decks for 20 quid free p&p i got 1 as a spare and its worth the money.but yeh powell mini logos are sound too.

  ask in your local if they've got any boards on sale, some boards with turd graphics will float around a shop for time, and you never no the owner mite be happy to see the back of em'.
