Graphic- The boards graphic is a little simple. The yellow and blue checkers behind a crowned skull. Mullen in bones under it. I didn't really like the graphic on it but let's move onto the shape.
Shape- The deck is on the mellow side which takes some time to get used to to. Pretty normal shape with the nose being longer than the tail.
Pop- The pop on this board was great but it didn't last really long. A few weeks and it felt old, if you know what I mean.
Durability- The resin contruction of the board doesn't seem to improve the strength of it. It was just as durable as any average deck. The board stays together for a long time possibly with the help of the epoxy glue it is made with. The pressure cracks come quick thought. After some come, alot more do. I have about three cracks from truck to truck after a month.
Overall I give this board an 8/10. I liked it alot until it started to feel old. Forgot to metion, the board is definatly lighter than the standard board. I would definatly think about buying another in the future.

Alien Workshop Skateboard Decks
Personality- Alien Workshops boards are very unique but not very flashy. It is articulate and very mysterious. They have very usual design and figures. The team has a wide variety of skaters.
Shape- I personally love the shape of their decks. The nose and the tail isn't very different except the tail being a little higher as usual. The concave is a little deep. Especially in the nose. You can find a wide range of the skateboards being from skinny to wide.
Pop- The pop is better then other boards that I have used. Although personally its not as great as Popwar's, but I find that you will like it a lot. it's strong and consistant. And even with a few layers gone from the tail, it will still keep its height up. You might lose a few centimeters or so. But if your consistant at your ollies then you should be fine.
Durability- Well I'm skating my Josh Kalis deck for about a month now. Its on its 4th layer nose and tail. But its still holding up strong and I think it can last another week or two. So it seems pretty trustworthy that it can last you a while.
Overall I'm giving alien workshop boards a 7/10. They are good boards except the durability isn't great and the feel is a little weird. A plus is the different style of designs. And the pop is a perk.
