great for skating. had great pop and flipped really easy. the only problems i had with it was that the graphic could be scraped off with your fingernails so by the time i had done a few grinds the graphic was gone and it wouldnt grind. it was one of the X-band things.

AWS are good board just make sure you buy the GOOD ones if not ur screwed. Iv heard that the ROB and BIG ones are great they supposibly last longer. AWS decks dnt keep there shape for long but for the time you have them they are preety deceant. For my experianc iv been switching between AWS, Habitat, DGK, Plan B, Baker, Chocolate, Girl, and Shop decks. I think Plan Bs and baker have good pop but little concave. Chocolates and Girls fucked my shines up, i mean they would just pop all weared and get tangled around my feet. The DGKs where great but broke to fast same as Habitats and Alien wrk shops. I gotta say though AWS are good but break to soon. Im going to go for Expedition next.

I really like aws boards. They are pretty well balanced, but it took some time for me to get used to the feeling of them.

alien decks are ok boards there nothing extra ordinary. the best thing about them is there durability factor. i mean the wood is hard to break but the boards do not hold there shape for very long. overall though i dont recommend them.

dude i had the rob and big orange one it was the best board ive had yet. i had an element and it suked so maybe thyats why i loved it so much. it was A LOT of pop i want used to. the onyl bad thing was the nose and tail are kinda different so when the tail wore down i cudent skae it anymore. but that always happens to me. so oooo 5 it is!!!! AWS ruleeeesss!!!

Im skating a AWS collective model now and I gotta say that, when I first started skating it, the pop was amazing. After getting caught in the rain a couple of times and being in a humid climate, it's still good (which is pretty dope). However, the board is quite heavy for a 7.5 and the concave is way too deep. If you like a concave that grips the feet deep, this is the board for you. if you like a more mellow concave, get chocolate boards. They shit all over AWS.

great boards. I had one for 5 months. Never had any problems with them since the pop was always there and they have excellent concave. I usually skate Kalis decks so i went to a Dyrdek and it feels great.

actually, alien workshop boards a very good...they are so thin that if you step on them they flex, but are strong enough that if you land on the tall on even a ten stair the don't break...if your not fat. make sure you get the right size you like too

Alien Workshop are my favorite decks out of all of the decks ive skated and ive skated alot of different brands. They have great pop and flip really easy only bad thing about them is they break pretty easy me and my friend broke his at a skate park like the second week he had one but i still think there the best in fact im buying a new one later today becuz i snapped my toy machine in half last week

ok. I know people say these decks are either good or bad. but they are ok. when you ride them they feel perfect and have great pop and stuff, but they break easily. very easily. ive had about 20 decks in my life, 2 of which were aws. one broke in a month (back when i sucked) the other broke in 2 weeks (not even skating every day. my friend who weighs about 110 lbs, broke one in 1 1/2 weeks.

I think they're alright in my opinion. I had one but wasn't what I liked as a board. Didn't have the amount of pop I wanted, didn't have enough concave and it felt sorta thick and heavy. But that's what I think about it. I had a aws board and didn't like it. I wouldn't buy one again but that's just me. But it shouldn't stop anyone else from getting one. It's all in what you like in a board. Some boards might have more pop then the other boards but not everyone likes alot of pop . That also goes for concave, weight and thickness.. To those kids calling people and boards posers need to chill. Stop trying to front like you the sh@$. Stop being pricks. To each man his own opinion. Not everybody likes what you like so chill out.

AWS is the best i learned every thing i know on AWS decks and they are the longest lasting decks i have skated on and ive been reading this bull about graphics and i dont think graohics matter at all i care about pop concave and size and im sure every true skater does to and if u care about the graphics more than the size and pop etc. you are a poser.

Alien Workshop boards are amazing. They have got great pop and are very reliable. Every board will snap eventually, or will chip away so it isn't only alien that do that. Get it together people. And it's not prety pictures on the bottom, its art.

Alien Workshops have a great shape , good pop, they are very lightweigt also. Good board for beginners or for those who like doing plenty of flips. Altogether the graphics are unusual but quite cool many pro/sponsored skaters chose to ride these because they are really good decks! - Matty - Himself...

These boards are alright. Every one I have used has chipped away on the edges fast. They have alright pop and that's good for tricks. Their concave isn't my favorite but it's good enough. Their boards aren't too heavy so it helps out with tricks.

Most of the boards have good graphics and very ridable noses and tails. However, the boards are heavy, which can really weigh you down when you're skating. Also, Alien Workshop is one of the only companies that still makes slick decks.

Alien Workshop got popular because of all the graphics on the bottoms of the boards. These boards are overrated. They are way too skinny and aren't very strong. Many beginning skateboarders tend to buy Alien Workshop, and as they try out other boards they usually don't go back.
