a board is like wine. There are some that are the cheapest motherfuckers like a walmart board (goon sack) then there are finer boards such as mini logo, elan and some other shit like that you know like a nice wine that would drink to get drunk but not for taste. Then there are your fine boards baker, girl, zero, mystery, flip, just to name a few. All these decks are made with different flavors and techniques to create different styles of skateing, so dont diss a board company unless its element please. but yeah ive had a couple of baker boards and i thought that they were really solid sort of square shape. Ths makes easier grinds and kickflips, heelflips but i personaly found it harder to tre and genrally get distence but the boss doesnt have that problem so i guess there just not the board for me but still rad.
