Geez, I’m a horrible skateboard product reviewer. At least this year, I am. Fortica Skateboards, based in Utah, sent me two skateboard decks with grip to review back around December or so. But I ended up being sick for the first three months of year, then my wife had a baby, then I had some injuries, and on and on the excuses go. So far, I’ve only been skating twice this year, and the first time I had to ride a deck for another company whose product I was reviewing, so it’s taken FOREVER for me to get around to riding the decks Fortica sent me, which I finally did on Go Skateboarding Day on June 21st (and yeah, it’s now taken me almost a month since then to get around to writing the review).
Some observations:
1. Good size nose and tail. I’ve had issues with other decks in the past that had a tail that was too small.
2. Good concave and steepness on the nose and tail.
3. Overall good shape.
4. Most importantly, the board felt natural as soon as I stepped on it. I realize here and there you’re going to have to get used to a new deck, but ideally I like to step on a deck and have it feel natural from the get-go, and the Fortica deck I tried gave me that experience.
These decks are going for $35 a pop on their website (link above) so go buy you one.
I just purchased the ISO deck, it should hopefully get here by next week, the designs look really modern n fresh now all i need is some new trucks
