Sounds like Dub Press Distribution is really starting to get some buzz. My friend at the park had one of their powercore decks and that sucker has some major pop! It was just a blank, no logo or anything, but I’m going to order one when my zero deck dies out

Joey thanks for telling me about Dub Press Distribution I bought a 5 pack of blank (stained) decks from them, and skated them hard. They dont chip… I wasnt able to break any of them. I skate alot of street and park. The only one that ‘broke’ was from me landing all my weight down a 9 stair at my local skatepark. I landed with my back foot on the tip of the tail, and my front foot right in front of the truck. It didnt even break all teh way through!! I was still able to skate it home. I usually skate enjoi or plan b decks because they last me a few weeks before they break or razor tail, but the dub press deck last me about a month. that says alot for how much i skate. they seem like a company that care about how they decks are made and not making lots of money. im going to place a order for a 10 pack of their dub press mini logo graphic decks today when i get my pay check. they have great shape, great tail and nose, amazing concave (i ride their power core and deep concave) and they dont chip or pressure crack.

their website is http://www.dubpressdistribution.com

looks like they are still working on their site, but atleast their product delivers

I believe that this article is stating that those who buy pro decks are so called “dumb”and “greedy” when really maybe a kid see’s his favourite skater on a deck and says “im going to get theta one cause its…” (EX: mike Mo)not at all cause they have the money! i know plenty of people who have the money to get a pro and get blanks and i know plenty of people who barely have the money to get a board and get pro boards! quit stereo tipping skaters as average people. Skateboarding is a life style not a hobbie/sport

Sincerely,
Bobby Henderson

I don’t think blank decks are bad at all. There is a new company that is making decks and I really love their shape. Their noses feel like a Girl / Chocolate Deck , and they have awesome pop and don’t break like ebay decks haha. I bought them from dubpressdistribution. i think they have a .com?

Im not sure where everyone comes up with their philosophy and supposed experience on blank decks. ive skated most brands of pro decks, and several brands of blank decks. yes some pro decks have phenomenal shape and pop, but just the same some blank companies have incredible shape and pop—case in point being Shuvit. Awesome skateboards for the money. Blanks such as TGM, and yes folks even Pop-lite are not that bad. Everyone talks about a board lasting for months upon end–Im not sure what world youre living in. Ive been skating for close to ten years now on and off, and while I kept boards for a long time when I was young it was only because I was inexperienced, couldnt do any tricks, and had no money. These days it is not rare for me to break a board every one-two weeks, whether it be a pro model or a blank model. Unfortunately, Im not sponsored so, why wouldnt I buy the cheaper board? If you truly think a pro model is going to survive months of stairs and flip tricks over the performance of a blank made of the same wood and pressed with the same glue and methods, youre simply incorrect. Not dissing pro decks, but just the same the blank deck should be respected in its own right.

now,i buy the blank decks all the time,never once would i buy a pro. no affence. but,im searching for somebody who will anser this question. what the difernce betwwen a pro and a blank deck. is it how long the baord will last? how good the pop is? is blank decks the same thing as pro decks,but instead its made of a diffrnt type of wood and has a graphic on it?

Sporting goods don’t need pictures to function well. Would you pay an extra $20 to get a plaid basketball? Or one with skulls on it? Hell no. I’ll “support the industry” by putting stickers on stuff and buying the occasional T-shirt or sneakers. Skate graffics are awesome to look at but they last until you do ONE trick on the board. then its f***ed. I’m not paying $20 for that. I could just buy a painting and it will last forever if I want art. Unless I can get a REALLY good deal on a pro board I like I’m straight MINI LOGO for life.

Why get a board that u will have to replace in a couple of months with all the grinding and stuff u do with the board and that will cost alot over time wayy more than a pro-grade board thats only like $100 that lasts for years
