Deck Choice

I can afford any deck right now and I'm trying to decide which one. I was looking at the Flavor Awakening, District Helmeri, and a Thresh. Any advice would help! Thanks.

Haven't heard any review on the helmeri but I would get a thresh as I love mine but there's good reviews on the awakening deck I've heard

Honestly from a completely unbiased approach i totally believe the threshold is the best deck ever made. Ive ridden mine for 7 straight months now no problems, and have progressed a lot just cause of the deck. you legit dont want to ride/test anything else out once you get really used to it. american made, you know what you are getting.

the awakening is also really good but they havent been out long and there is some sketchy production in the deck. they paint over the front end to make it look all one piece when its just like the district in the front with the plastic things that pop off. its not a big deal or anything but they are probably made cheaply.

and district is just old news, they arent really doing anything new or exciting and the feel of their decks gets kind of old to me. plus they always crack/banana after a few months

I ride a district for the price theyre not bad i have 2 only because i wanna save the one i bought brand new and my friend gave me his old one so im using that and its cracked but you get what you pay for its no suprise the only reason i like riding them is because theyre 21 long but not the new ones so i wouldnt bother but def the thresh

threshold-best for grinds, will last the longest, supporting a good company, decent weight, but not as balanced as the district or flavor.
flavor-good for grinds, really balanced, front plug cracks off after a while, might grind down fast.
helmeri-really wide, probably pretty good for grinds, balanced, might banana, cracks for grinding faster than most decks.
i'd go with the thresh

What are you guys going on about plastic plugs on the front of a flavor aha, had mine 4 months and the fronts metal, no plastic plugs like a dk2.......

Thresh/Hammerhead easy.
Good lengths, flat sides, feels really balanced and light, grinds good, strongest deck on the market and looks good.

That was probably a v1, I snapped my v1 also. Then I got a v2 that I had for six months and it was still in perfect condition.

Now I have a hammerhead.
