Almost decks are good. Most decks are good. It really comes down to, are you good? The only thing you want to look at really is width, then concave. Also shape can be a factor too. I have had several almost team decks. And they were just as good as every other deck I have had. In fact, the only skateboard I have ridden that I can say really sucked was a world industries that I bought for my son at big5. BUt guess what I could still do every trick with that board too. Almost decks do run on the smaller side though. Most of their decks are in the 7.5 to 7.75 range. the new lewis marnell deck is 8 and the shape looks good. I recomend mild concave boards to everyone. Deep concave boards lock your feet in and offer less control. Hope this helped dude. Keep in mind that all boards are made out of wood. If you are a good skater you can ride anyboard. Don't believe posers who back certain companies just because their favorite riders are on that team. Ride what you dig man. Skating is an individual thing. PIck the board that you dig and ride it bro. Skate and destroy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
