Wed Jun 10 2009best board i've ever had, I've had a zero, and tried my friends boards (girl, element, enjoi) they are all fine expect element, they suck imo. Zero was fantastic, top rated, good team, thought i would never get a better board. I tried a few, in my city, its pretty known for skateboarding (Powell and Shorty's were made here). I went to the shop (shorty's church of skatan) and i knew i wanted a shortys, i got one, the nose and tail are really different, if you don't like the concave on one side just use the other, i find both perfect, abosolutely perfect. great graphic great pop, flip EVERYTHING go buy one now, represent the best skateboards in the business with no popularity. Hardware is good...nothing special, Black Magic griptape=awesomeness, black panther bearings=heaven, better than bones.

Thu Aug 14 2003shorty's boards are way overrated! just because muska and other good skaters ride them doesnt mean that there any good. they chip way too fast, and are basically made of sh!t. the only good thing is the cool graphics.

Fri Feb 07 2003I've rode my friend's Shorty's. I don't own one but I've tried one. They're okay fun to ride nice graphics, they could be better though.
by sk8punk1013
Thu Jan 02 2003These boards are Ok. The pop is awesome and the kicktails are tough and dont ware down fast. the bad part about these decks is that they are flat and chip easy. It was kinda hard for me to control my Shortys cause it was so flat and narrow. It was a light deck though. The glue that holds the plys 2gether came loose on one part of the board and about two layers chipped off on the side in the middle. Shortys are alright but not one of the best.

Sun Oct 06 2002My friend bought one, and I'm glad he did because I saw firsthand just how overrated these decks are. Everybody's like "Muska skates for them, they're awesome!", but I found it difficult to even balance on. The shape is terrible, it has too much concave. The pop is not as much as you would expect from a company whose slogan is "This sh*t's got pop!", and durability is also a concern. My friend's is chipping like crazy, and he's only had it for a month!

Sun Sep 29 2002these boards are trash, they really suck, they have no pop, the ugliest shape ever. the tail is too short(barely even has one) and the sad thing is that there slogan is ( this sh@#$ got pop) ha ha ha that's the funniest joke ever.

Mon Jul 01 2002this board has awesome pop and isn't heavy but it is kind of a weak board
by deathrattle
Mon Jan 07 2002Great BBQ place. Nice seating atmosphere. Always clean. Food served quick but cooked to perfection. Pork, chicken, ribs, etc. You can't go wrong with Shorty's

Fri Sep 21 2001way over rated decks they have no concave and they suck ass they dont have much pop and just cuz muska's good dont mean the decks are they suck ass i dont see y people actually skate them
by mataiboy
Sun Sep 02 2001Shorty's boards have good concave - not to much or not to less, as well the pop lasts long and the pop is great. These boards are like one of the strongest and the tail isn't to steep or to flat so you get perfect ollies and they come in different sizes and the graphics are sweet, as well shorty's make guaranteed hardware which is the best to date.

Wed Dec 13 2000I don't know that much about the boards, but my brother loves them. I love their clothes and so do my cousins and brother. It seems like a very well known brand, but I don't know that real skaters like the boards that well.
by blainediggityb_ling
Tue Dec 12 2000Shorty's used to make only hardware and grip tape. When they started making skateboards I bought one and was very disappointed. It snapped quickly and I didn't like the shape much. Many companies in the skateboard industry are all image, and this is one of them.
by cwalkin
Mon Dec 11 2000It's not as good as the Element boards, but it's good enough because it's cheap. It's very affordable and I recommend it for beginners who're starting off.
by nfasux
Wed Nov 22 2000They suck. They make smaller boards that break easily with the intent to make the skate rats more boards. The almighty dollar is more important to them then the quality of their product. They are more worried about how they look than how good the boards are to ride.
by psychokilla
Tue Nov 21 2000I own a Shorty's board and their products are really good. I wish they had a website. I buy all their clothes and accessories.
by meanmegan
Mon Nov 20 2000Shorty's clothes and equipment are good quality and their boards are more durable. Their graphics are good.
by locotes
Thu Nov 16 2000Shorty's skateboarding company is complete in all skateboarding aspects. Its boards are lightweight, easy to manuever, and use high resistance material. Cool accessories, from jackets to key-rings. Shorty's has good pro level skateboarders under its label.

Tue Nov 14 2000Shorty's are the O.G. board company. Their products are the strongest on the market.

Wed Nov 01 2000Good board. Lasts long. Good looks overall. Used by many professionals. Fun ride. Light and easy to do tricks on.
by ninjamonkee
Tue Oct 31 2000This provides lots of concave for tight turns. It offers a variety of designs and gives the owner a sense of uniqueness.

Tue Oct 31 2000I have ridden Shorty's and they are very fun. I have broken other boards but never a Shorty's.

Mon Oct 30 2000I used to have a Shorty's board, but I like Element better.
by junotf0c
Thu Oct 26 2000Great clothing, great hardware. Nice light, strong decks. Fast wheels, but the bearings could use a little work. A lot of people enjoy this brand and love its stickers.

Mon Jul 03 2000Shorty's wheels are quite durable and there is a wide range of designs. The bright colors look tight when in motion.

Mon May 22 2000The best skateboard my brother has ever bought. He loves it.
by cbvo6756om
Wed May 17 2000This board is perfect. I bought one myself. The feel of it under my feet is perfect. I get perfect balance when I ride it. The board is light so I can easily do ollie's on them. Only think I don't like about them is the design on the bottom of the board (which doesn't matter).
