[ajhoffman11]

i just wanted to say thanks to benson and everyone at tactics for helping me with many decisions on skate products with your reviews.

[4EVERSKATIN]

benson what kind of skateboard do you usually ride?

[tacticsboardshop]

@4EVERSKATIN Tactics deck

[leekrill]

pause exactly at 0.05

[Lakaiiiiii]

@leekrill i dont get it?

[BGizzle96]

that board sucks

[urbanninjas859]

Hey Benson,i'm getting a new skateboard tomorrow...And I was wondering if I should get an Alien Workshop or a Plan B.

[tacticsboardshop]

@urbanninjas859 I've never skated either. Just get one now and then the other the next time you need a board.

[WinstonChuchhill]

@urbanninjas859 Alien workshop makes really nice decks

[tgiira]

@urbanninjas859 alien workshop hands down

[xxHardkorex]

@tacticsboardshop

Im about to buy 2 decks at my local skateshop

Im deciding of getting 2 Deathwishes or 2 Girls or 1 of each

i skate 7.75 but deathwish doesnt have a large variety of 7.75

[emericadw]

@xxHardkorex get deathwish

best

boards

ever

[welovezelda200]

@xxHardkorex deathwish ftw my last board was a mad hatter (lizard king sig) 8" my new is gonna be either deathwish or enuff both 8.3" hard to get double flips but oh well

[MrFarty98]

i hate hi tech decks because all they do is make ppl think they can skate better

[14sk8ify]

This is bs the thing snapped in 3 days on me

[tacticsboardshop]

@14sk8ify shoulda landed bolts?

[14sk8ify]

@tacticsboardshop ok all i did was a kickflip off a box. it snapped right on the edge of the carbon fiber. if i cnt last me how do pros make this bard last

[tacticsboardshop]

@14sk8ify landing bolts? If you land over the trucks, you won't break this board. If you land on the tail or nose with enough force, you're going to break boards.

[14sk8ify]

@tacticsboardshop so of a 1 foot box is enough force.....

[jonty1414]

@tacticsboardshop one thing i did find about this board is the edge around the carbon fibre is weak, after about 2 weeks of riding, i did bs boardslide on a hand rail landed on the bolts and i noticed the wood started to come away from the carbon fibre. it might have just been a  one out of a thousand bad board or suthing but i still wont buy another one

[snowskateskate]

@tacticsboardshop Oh, shit! Tactics goin' HAM! Gottem!

[tacticsboardshop]

@snowskateskate hhaha, not trying to be a dick, just saying boards will break if you don't land bolts...

[sk8tafrnk]

@14sk8ify Bullshit. You never bought this you pussy.

[123lpx]

its funny how tactics has an account on ccs where they review the products on ccs

[tacticsboardshop]

@123lpx what? I oversee almost all our social media stuff like twitter, facebook, youtube, reviews and don't know what you're talking about. Got a link you send us? -Benson

[boymyfeetsmell]

benson! your the best, you seem like a really nice guy and your reviews help alot! thanks :)

[SkateIslam]

It's cool that u make videos about what the product claims to do, but it would be even better if u put the claims to the test and we could hear the opinion of someone who has actually skated it. That's just my suggestion, i think the information would be more accurate, and further help people in making educated decisions.

[SlotGlassesGuy]

hey benson, do these decks last a long time? If you skated them, how long did they last?

[tacticsboardshop]

@SlotGlassesGuy haven't skate 'em.

[VansShoeGirl91]

nice shirt what brand is it?

[tacticsboardshop]

@VansShoeGirl91 Thrasher.

[tacticsboardshop]

@VansShoeGirl91 Thrasher.

[AmericanPitbulls1]

@tacticsboardshop Hey I am 12 my name is Lacie I am a girl skater do you ship your board and being a girl as you probably could guess I am smaller and i have a 8 and a half inch board but it is to big do they make smaller boards than that oh by the way i am also just beginning and for street and skate-park tricks and riding what do you recommend in wheels I have seen your wheel video but cant choose.

By the way I now a skater that is sponsered and he think you should make a skateboarding video

[tacticsboardshop]

@AmericanPitbulls1 yes, boards come smaller than 8.5. for street, I'd recommend wheels 50-54mm. I'm glad your sponsored friend thinks I should make a video.. -Benson

[19toymachine98]

hey benson im 13 and what kind of deck do you recommend and size that very cheap

and my height is 5.8

[tacticsboardshop]

@19toymachine98 get a Tactics deck, they're good and inexpensive. 8" would probably work just fine.

[lilbronson12]

I were siz 11 shoes and im 5 11 i skate 8.2

[luke6022]

@Hardrock4 go to a zumiez and they have packages to get you a complete setup for like 80 bucks. They cut the price for me because im new to skating and i love it. My moonpop is super nice and i love the ride to it. Overall 94/100

[juniorsrap]

Strenght and stiffness:)

[PCGamesAndMore]

i have size 11 shoes and i am just about 6 foot what size deck do you think i should get?

[tacticsboardshop]

@PCGamesAndMore whatever feels good under your feet.

[Hardrock4]

l cant afford this ...

[ninjaturtle7861]

hey benson i need some help. im looking for a new deck and i have big feet for my age. i wear a size 13 and im thinking about buying an 8.12 deathwish deck. can you give me any advice that you have? please respond.

[tacticsboardshop]

@ninjaturtle7861 yeah, get the 8.13...if it feels big or small, get a different size next time.

[ktnsk8er]

@ninjaturtle7861 You need something bigger. Try to get like an 8.3 or bigger. I wear size 8 and ride 8.0 or 8.1. It's all preference though.

[CommunistChocolate]

@ninjaturtle7861 no try 8 coz i wear size 12 and 8 is a bit big 4 me. :D just my opinion

[Christianofcanada]

hey I dont know why people get wood boards with fiber glass in them a deck should be wood not with all this composite material in them and it makes them more expensive wood is actually known to be stronger than fibre glass

[xMrStinkyballsx]

Hey benson um im 170 pounds and im a twelve year old skater and im five feet and six inches what size deck do recomend?, and i wear a size 10 shoe

[tacticsboardshop]

@xMrStinkyballsx try a 7.75, if it feels too big or small, adjust accordingly.

[uberKy]

This board sucks actually. Theres hardly any concave OR pop.

[tanzanos]

@uberKy That's because they put the carbon fibre on the top. This does nothing to increase the pop or strength of the deck. The carbon should be on the bottom! IDIOTS!!!!!

[gooniebread]

i had this board. it lasted me 4 days, it broke right where the carbonfiber ended.

[osirishoes3]

@tacticsboardshop ok thanks

[DontYouDAREclickMe2]

Dude i got a budget of $70 im still learning how to ollie a 5 stair, what would be the best DECK for me?

[umweltterrorist]

@DontYouDAREclickMe2 mhhm buy yourself some blank decks, cuz learnig to ollie stairs kills your setup

[osirishoes3]

@tacticsboardshop hey benson if I wear a size ten and I street skate a lot and I want to get a 8.38 deck would that work

[tacticsboardshop]

@osirishoes3 if it feels good under your feet, then yea, it'll work.

[twistnturn44]

@osirishoes3

Most size 10ers ride high 7's to 8 inch decks

Personally, I'm not like that. I wear a shoe size 12, but I ride 7.5 decks

You just have to find your style

[TheBakerSkater1996]

dont buy these things. whenever a board company comes out with something hi tech, its just a gimick. dont let the same thing happen to you that happened to jamie tancowny. he landed on the tail of his board and it was supposed to break but didnt and the board twisted and took his leg with it. just go with straight 7 ply. there the best no doubt

[jordancurry123456789]

BULL-SHIT. I dont believe in this, or helium decks, or any of that shit. I'll stick to my regular 7 ply decks. All that "special wood" is a waste of money

[bigmicahlittle]

that board is just taking the idea of double impact from almost

[rockstar69lv]

best board ever!

[sk8er4lyph13]

i got a skateboard from sears.. my parents think all skateboards are the same an di told them if i got one like this i wuldnt go thru like 5 skateboards a year

[tacticsboardshop]

@sk8er4lyph13 Dude true story. Chinese Sears skate decks = broken.

[666ThaScarecro666]

@tacticsboardshop Ur gonna hurt urself on those kmart sears boards. Ask them if theyd like for you to drive a lemon car thats gonna break down all the time when you get older? Dont ask for the most expensive deck but meet in the middle. You can get decent cheaper completes for around 70 80 bucks now.

[CoreNL]

Hey

[CoreNL]

This ain't no review. This is a commercial.

[skatestoon]

no matter what you say Real boards are the best. all i ride.

[bassinyobooty]

honestly if it ain't from wal mart then its skatable

[caleb15terr]

this board is shit i broke it in a month and my boards usually last for 3 months

[SuperCooldude24]

im a size 11 in shoes and i was wondering what size board i should get i think tht an 8.0 is to big any help?

[tacticsboardshop]

@SuperCooldude24 So just get something a little smaller like an 7.875 or a 7.75. board size is all personal preference.

[ska8boy12213]

oo ya moon pop ya

[snowyFB]

this is a dumb question but does the moon pop tech. protect against pressure cracks?

[tacticsboardshop]

@snowyFB yup.

[kayneoleman1]

@tacticsboardshop You know, you should buy Sasquatch Skateboards.

[tbvolcomskater]

@tacticsboardshop hell no! this board breaks sooooo easilly!!! dont buy it!! youll regret it

[Randomsk8er101]

that board looks small as shit..

[Lakaisk8ter18]

I had a alien workshop moonpop pop is great but the extra strength crap is bullshit

[kayneoleman1]

Alien workshop are good board,But not best board ever,some alien workshop rides werid and has werid performance.Toy Machine has excellent concave,same as Alien Workshop.

[LVskater4life]

@KuwaitF22 Yes, a board that weighs like 15 pounds from a bunch of steel.. Genius..

[KuwaitF22]

U lying asshole mine broke immediatly

[tacticsboardshop]

@KuwaitF22 Sorry man, if you don't land on the bolts your going to break boards.

[KuwaitF22]

@tacticsboardshop In the vid it says that if ur having trouble with snapping noses, tales, or landing to hard in the middle, it will be better because its stifffer. thats false advertisement mother fucker!

[tacticsboardshop]

@KuwaitF22 there is no board in the world that wont break after a grown ass man stomps a big gap right in the middle of it. This board will hold up way better than your average 7 ply but its not made of steel. Alien will tell you same thing, so stop blaming the decks and start landing on your bolts.

[KuwaitF22]

@tacticsboardshop Well in that case, maybe it's time to make a board with a layer of steel....

OMG THATS GENIUS

[axedude98]

@KuwaitF22 hahaha id love to see you say that to his face!

[Tibikekola]

@KuwaitF22 You are a mother fucker!

[roccoownzu2]

I just noticed all the people wanting free stuff.... Idiots.

[Kevinthedarksithlord]

@roccoownzu2 I was just kidding I was trying to make fun of the guy who was actually seriously trying to get them to give him stuff half off which is a huge discount.

[Kevinthedarksithlord]

SO LIKE. CAN WE LIKE. GET STUFF FOR FREE? AND WE'LL TELL ALL OUR FRIENDS AND STUFF?

[tacticsboardshop]

@Kevinthedarksithlord no.

[consskater]

does this board have good concave?

[nollieHEELeltoro]

@consskater All Alien Workshop boards have a steeper concave i have a Alien Workshop and it's ammazing the pop is great to!

[josetitisi]

fuck,is not that true i skated that for a month and i broke it by the middle of he carbon fiber it was crazy so i don't recomend it

[not4useofidiots]

this deck has a ton of pop been skating for over 3 months and has more pop then most decks out there still.

[skaterphilippines]

@tacticboardshop tthen u will be unpopular for life.

[BUSToutDEMSB97]

Dear Benson could you do a review on the BAKER HELLAPOP ( I THINK THAT HOW U SPELL IT )

[tacticsboardshop]

@BUSToutDEMSB97 if we have one, I'll see what we can do.

[scenicskateboards]

@tacticsboardshop i REALLY wanna see a Heli Pop review too

[skaterphilippines]

can we get a 50% off coupon because it is christmas and it is our christmas gift?thumbs up if you agree.....we will make the tacticsboardshop a little popular.....deal?

[tacticsboardshop]

@skaterphilippines no

[Iisthatrandomguy]

@tacticsboardshop can you guys please do a review on the almost double impact deck?

[tacticsboardshop]

@Iisthatrandomguy two inserts around the mounting holes increase durability...is that good enough?

[usbx1]

sooo the same tech like keystone of cliche????

i have a gillet keystone.... great one

[timothym360]

@tacticsboardshop hey benson, i wanted to buy a deck..what would u recommend..chocolate or alien workshop?

[ChrisFlipsAlot]

I hate these gimmicks. Just wood has been working for years....waste of money in my opinion

[skateboard325]

Cool

[skateboard325]

good boar

[sskkaatterr]

is this on all decks from alien workshop?

[daniyluppert]

@sskkaatterr nope

[Overkast13]

notice how that board hasnt been skated yet and i doubt that guy knows wtf he is talkin about sounds like he read that straight off packaging

[2ftsk8r]

@Overkast13 he is thats what tactics does. 

[tacticsboardshop]

@Overkast13 I'm talking about tech in the board, not how it rides, so that's why the board hasn't been skated. In fact, we get a lot of our talking points about products from the packaging. These reviews aren't personally opinions, they're just videos about the products so people can make educated decisions. -Benson

[erikk27a]

@tacticsboardshop damn you owned that guy...

lmfao

[skateboard325]

@Overkast13 Oh Haii.....Fuck You

[greendragon448]

@Overkast13 thats what i always think..

[FantomSkateKreW]

@Overkast13 Dude just go away no one craes about wat u think go play with ur presents or something

[tbvolcomskater]

i di an ollie and it snapped in the middle

[carlopeirano]

this skate sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cockaboobledoo]

dont buy them they brake in a weak

[skateboard325]

ahhhh he jacked my board

[ZackParentt]

My moonpop cracked on the nose and tail right where the hexagon starts and then the nose snapped off

[YeahNigguhhh]

@ZackParentt duh

[GodDoesKare]

@ZackParentt prolly cause your a heavier set

[50stunter15]

i had this board. it worked well until i snapped the tail. i have a video of me smashing the tail off but the carbon fiber was still in tact

[foxrider6796]

@50stunter15 The same thing happened to me. It felt the same as any regular board and i kickflipped an insanely small ledge and the tail snapped right off after 2 weeks of skating it. I could see the little carbon fiber hexagon still completely in tact.

[omar5460]

that new thing they put in the moonpop board really works 2day my board get wet alot and the grip tapes still good. i think its cuz of that new technology

[skyking166]

@omar5460 err... grip tapes and the board? if ur grip still good... then that's only coz u got good grip not good board, if ur board still not waterlogged, than that's a good deck. haha the technology dont help the grip z-z it's two different thing. Fyi not trying to be offensive or anything, enjoy skateboarding!

[YeahNigguhhh]

@omar5460 shut up

[skateboard325]

i have this board and its the best

[etniesskater321]

@skateboard325  I know:)

[elmntt4life]

Who made there's first, element push or alien workshop moonpop. Because there basicly the same idea.

[WimpyTV]

@elmntt4life there is also the darkstar armor ply deck

[TheBCEffect]

@WimpyTV and almost impact support

[reubentg]

@TheBCEffect exceept impact is a lie

[ramenchild]

@elmntt4life ALMOST did it first if i belive, the newest is the Flip P2 Which is also goin to PLAN b :) The first one tho was ALMOST MULLLEN UBER LIGHT

[skyking166]

@ramenchild flip p2 not carbon fiber tho, instead they use a sheet of Kevlar (one of the material use for bullet proof vast and stuff), but don't try to go block a gun shot with it.. because it's a sheet not a wall of Kevlar haha. i have used the flip p2, the element push, and have friends that used the almost impact and the moon pop. so far, flip p2 holding up pretty good to my standard, but push = more pop to me, but chipped so easy for me. Almost impact = alright, moon pop = flat. pick wisely

[DREwestcoast]

@skyking166 you ever tried a darkstar armorlight? got one a few weeks ago and i've never been this comfortable skating
