I have an old rob dyrdek alien workshop. its pretty good. its got good pop. pretty light, and pretty good concave although the concave could be a little better. i would suggest for anyone really.

these boards are sick! they have massive pop excelent flip and are really light and the only down side is they razortail really easy..but ive been skating fer 2 years and i can ollie,bs 180,fs 180,bs flip fs heelflip 180,kickflip,varial flip,varial heel,tre flip fakie tre, bs full cab,switch ollie,nollie,popshuv,shuv,360shuv,fs shuv, no comply,boneless,bonelesss 360, boneless 180 fingerflip...and so on..

i had a foundation and it was horrible no pop and it snapped. then i got an aws and best board i ever got

alien workshop decks have nearly nothing wrong with them, i got the rob dyrdek strobe series one which is 7.5 it has a mellow concave but you can get much deeper ones if you like a steep concave they are very thin though but they have so much pop (and it's not even a moonpop!) that i wasn't used to being in the air for that long and bailed out, i'd give it a 9/10 they're much better than element,flip,blind and karma

first i did a pop shuvit and landed in the middle and it broke. so i bought another and i did a slid in my tail and it broke off. soo i bought another and did a Nollie and the nose shot up in my face and they taste like shit

ive been skating for 4 months and it is still in awsome shape. all it has is a razored tail but it was my first board so i didnt know that u dont stop with your tail. wicked boards, they have the highest pop out of all my friends boards. once my friends tried my board they want to go and buy one. i would recomend these boards to any skater street or vert. these boards last hella long and pop hella high. they dont razor tail fast, as long as u dont stop with it wont razor that fast.

I've had mine for 5 months and its only recently got a chip,

They pop is still good, the concave is still good and I only have tiny surface cracks at the bolts

and I fuck up loads :P

Arto Saari Abduction Deck, 7.75 Ftw :)

well first off it has amazing pop and great shape mellow dips but deep concave so yeah but it does not chip easy so thats good but after about a month of skating it loses like 60 percent of the pop but still good. it is not heavy either only 58.00 bucks at my local shop. if you see one and you like the size and graphic i would recommend it. i say 8 out of 10 stars over all just because it's shape is weird at first and also because it razor tails easier than most boards i have had but i have also had it for almost two months so thats why

when i first got mine i realized that it was way more flexible than my old mystery skateboard and that it was lighter to. it has good pop. but after about two months of skating the screws holding my trucks together fell off and then the plys started to seperate around my nose and tail

after the unavoidable wal mart set up, i had an alien workshop for my first real deck. Mostly because dyrdek was (and still is) my favorite pro i bought his model and began to learn one trick after another. Sick pop, graphics (although they wear away really fast), concave, and everything. if theres anything not great about them its that mine got razor tail prty fast because i was a kid and didnt know the consequences of stopping with my tail. other than that, defineately a reccomended buy.

Alien Workshop Skateboard Decks

Shape: Medium Concave. On my particular deck the nose was much wider, longer, and steeper than the tail. I tried out my friends Alien Workshop and it was not at all like this. Flicks are very easy on these decks.

Pop: When you first pop an ollie on them, it feels like you rocket into the air. After awhile though, the pop starts to fade.

Strength: These feel solid under your feet but not entirely stiff. These decks tend to chip and get razor tail semi-quickly. These boards aren't known to last the longest of all the companies.

Graphics: They have cool graphics. Some of them are weird, but their new moonpop boards are sweet. I guess it depends on what is your taste, but I really like these graphics.

Overall: I would recommend these boards.

yo these boards r so nasty ive had mine 4 like 4 months still got all the pop all my friends love its i highly recomend 1 but my trucks suck dik there independents dont get them get thunder back 2 my board ive had 2 but get a pro model other 1 suck more coc than the jonas brothers and thats a lot if coc

Great skateboards, lots of pop, and very light. I skated with the same shorty board (7.25 X 28) for about 4 years I believe. I never got a credit card (when the board pops up and lands straight up, leaving you to hit your nuts) from the board once, because it was too short :D. But recently it kicked the dust. So I bought a new board from my local shop, but I couldn't afford another Alien workshop board ;(. Totally recommended to any type of skater.

ok,my favorite skater is Rob Dyrdek and he always uses AWS and hes sponsored by them so i thought whats to lose i bought an AWS and landed my first Kickflip on it and i landed my first tre flip on it i fell in love with it THEY ARE THE SHIT i have had this deck for 1 year with only 1 chip and i have taken some really bad landings on it (right in the center).i kickflipped a 10 stair and landed really hard right in the center and it didnt snap.so ya i HIGHLY reccomend these boards

i just started skating like a week ago and i use a aws and i can already ollie fakie ollie kickflip fakie flip pop shuvit fakie pop shuvit ollie north boardslide 50-50 grind and almost varial kickflip they have great pop and awsome concave and the flip is the SHIT and they dont chip fast i hit alot of walls and still not chiped the board is realy good i would get one you will love them.

alien workshop (aws) are really good

but you should probably get the x band

AWS have good flick and the are hard to break

but you will eventually

and they have some crazy designs

id say to get AWS

theyre ok i learned hoaw to pop shuvit, frontside shuvit, 180 ollies, board slides, 50-50 grinds and nose slides on it but it chips and wears down really bad and i got credit carded for the first time (board going vertical and your nuts landing on it. i recommend mystery. but ive learned a lot on it.

I love alien workshop. Ive had 3 in 3 months and they have been aswome. My last two cracked on boardslides but every other board ive had cracks on board slides. They have hella pop and i learned lazer flips on the and inward heels on them. Best boards ive ever had. Another great company is almost! Get them

is the flatline deck good because i am getting one ?

Chips a little faster than most boards. but it has good pop and holds up pretty well.

Terriable! my friend had one, and the tail snaped in 3 weeks after going down a tiny 3 stair,
and mine has huge presure cracks! Dont buy, unless your a begginer.

I've been skating in mine for about three months and I gotta say that it's still in great condition. Still has shit loads of Pop but it's the X-Band. It's really good and has really good flicks if i were to start off with this board I would probably have a really good chance and i'm sure I'd be better. I'm not exactly a really good skater but with this board I've learned a lot of my tricks in it. The concave is great and won't flatten out one bit. I regret nothing with this board and I would recomend it to any person. If there was anything else I had to say then you would have to check them out their a really great bored and not one bit bad.

well....im a 170 pound person....so i wonder would a alien workshop last me...im 13...skating for 9 months....i can do ollies,fs 180's(i land them so sick),backside 180,bs pop-shuvit,fs pop-shuvit,nollie back pop-shuvit,nollie front pop-shuvit,kickflip,heelflip,fakie flip,fakie heel,varial kick flip,switch ollies,fakie ollies,switch bs pop-shuvit,switch fs pop-shuvit,switch ollie north,ollie north,fs 360,and trey flips....so can any one answer me....watsz the right board for me...and im black so...yip-hee...lol

I just ordered a alien workshop board and i heard they have sweet designs i no mine does i did heard they chipped a lot though

It's designs are unique and different from the other major brands in the skateboarding industry. they cost a lot lesser too.

Favorite boards of all time. Alienworkshop decks have never done me wrong, Great shape, great wood, amazing graphics (even though that doesn't really matter) i recommend these to anyone.

dude i love the boards awsome pop last long mad concave

hows the xband?

I would like to start off by saying that AWS is not for everyone. The shape on both of the consecutive dyrdek boards i have purchased is questionable if you aren't used to it. Now, having said that, I LOVE my Alien Workshop Dyrdek Pro models I have purchased. They have a very mellow tail, which means a longer snap on ollies and an absolutely HUGE nose, which allows you to go big on flip tricks like never before. Fair warning though, its difficult to train yourself to be able to do tricks that are nollie, or perhaps after doing a shuv-it. Hell, anything that makes you skate off the nose. Last thing I have to say about AWS boards is how thin they are. It would seem to everyone that the boards would snap hella easy, but this isn't the case at all. Any time someone has video taped me skating and doing any flip trick, I notice something very odd. If I do one of the incredibly high ollies made possible by this board, when I land the board seems to bend or flex. Now, my first AWS dyrdek snapped after about 3 months of skating probably about once every three days. My newer one I have had for about 1.5 months, skating on average once every 3 days and the board is yet to crack on me. Granted, I have some pressure cracks where the bolts were applied and I land, but I honestly don't think those count. I think AWS is definitely worth trying, especially if you have never been satisfied with any of the boards you have purchased in the past.

I LOVE MINE NICE POP/CONCAVE VERY STRONG AND STIFF

they are good boards-i recommend them but the graphics come off way too easily they are not varnished like other decks

AWS boards are heavy and dont have any concave!

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.

dont last long but are good and ok team.

Awesome boards

well i got an new aws soldier and they are nice i mean nice they take a little while to get use to  but I like them there great

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.

im skating the alien workshop meaty board. i love it becauseit is so thin and has so much pop. i had a baker and a plan b and thhey suked bad .i snapped my plan b in two weeks.plan b's blow.my aws has a huge nose on it . i ike because i landed my first nollie double heel flip on it very strong boards .thin, but strong.ive had mine two months and it hasnt craced. i heelflip 7 sets all the time with it. good boards

they are nice
 they also have great feel to them
 i have one right now, it has a crack in it though
 but they are not that strong

i will never trust alienworkshop there not bad boards they just loose there concave so fast their heavy and they chip like choclate chip cookies go with girl,choclate,enjoi,sk8mafia< do it i have a true love i love the shit with all my heart

this deck great  and very fun it has mad nice pop and great flip it can last for a while it dosnt chip or cracks around the bolts and after is cracks its done but this deck is good its good with sovit tricks to and can slide pretty nice and fast but becareful when ever u board slid it very unexpecting u get speed i love theses decks go aws or go home

  great deck, loads of pop and great for flip tricks. i landed my first 360 flip on it. but after a while of skateing avery day it broke. lasted for about 5 weeks. all of my friends said it was the best deck.

set up- 7.5, indys, spites, fkd                    great deck with loads of pop

  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.
