I am the proud owner of my own skateboard brand. I have tested over ten manufacturers and over 50 pro decks from various brands. In the last six months I have been skateboarding personally for twenty years. Working with travis is great. He will listen to your criticism and work with you until you are satisfied. These boards are.fantastic. my team loves them. I love the pop the steep concave is amazing and the strength of the board is bar none top of the line. I have literally broken over 800 decks in my lifetime I have been skateboarding since 1996. I have skated some of the best from zoo york,expedition one, planb before they first shutdown,treefort,girl,newdeal,popwar,chocolate,brooklyn,stereo,real,antihero,consolidated,santa cruz,creature,fuct,and the list goes on. These boards are special they flip fantastic and pop like no other. Honestly I am probably one of the pickiest skateboarders in the world. Sometimes ill take 3+hours at a shop to find that perfect deck. When I first got my sample and put it through my pqa stress testing. I was pretty Impressed but not sold so I went out bought samples upon samples as well as the 50 different pro decks.and put them all to.my real world test. I want the best board I can buy for my company. Travis at sk8factory worked through every once of criticism I had and satisfied everyone of my gripes. During this timetthrough all of the boards I tested to prove his boards were not as goodas he stated. All I could do is wish I was on one of travis board honestly. I couldn't wait to put my feet back on his boards. They won me over.I am a hard.sale. they hands down make one of the best over all boards I have ever skated. They are strong they are light that are simply amazing. Thank you Travis and jess @ Sk8factory I'm in love with your boards and can't wait to grow my company with yours. BEN ALLEN
