been riding the scape for too long now, and im lookin for a wood concave deck, preferably a cheap one, i was considering making my own and still am, but if i can buy one for a decent price, it'd be nice. Any suggestions, I'm looking for a 40" concave deck, with a grip tape top... Brand doesn't matter, but the cheaper in price, the better.

I don't know what your budget is, but you can't go wrong with the Oak Artificial Heart. It is one awesome stick.

logan, I dunno about the butter, I've talked to a couple people that said they didn't like it (but a couple of people said they did). There are some really good flat decks out though that are really cheap if 200 isn't in your price range. I think Gator boards has a couple of decks that have concave that are under 200$ as well.

the new gator concaves are supposed to retail for under $140, i'd wait for one of those.

or go with an Oak, they are great wood skates.

The 06 Sattelyte's are worth a look. Very solid decks. The flat will be about $125 & the concaves $205 US.

go with oak i promise it will be one of the last boards youll ever buy....trust me, ive been through alot of wood concaves and this one by far it worth the money, im not hackin on LF or anything, but i broke 5 of their boards within 4 months, either w2w tricks or on a rail and they ran $189. The Oak i bought for 200 has had the same abuse or harder, nothin has stopped it yet, this thing is a beast of a concave and thats all i have to say......

Thanks everybody I think I'm going to be looking at a GB concave, and an oak artificial heart, most likely will get the oak... thanks for all the info!

Im wondering where I can buy the artificial heart at because strictly skates doesnt even have a store, and okc boardshop is sold out...

Have Daniel at OKC order you one. It will be worth the wait. It supposedly comes in green or red. I've never seen the green & wish I'd known about it. Got mine from OKC & only took about a week or so for the special order. Both OKC and Oak are awesome to deal with.

Thanks a lot Im going to try and get the money asap, Im tryin to get a job now cuz I quit my other one(gay hours, like barely any) so if I get my job at Starbucks I will have this is in like a month or two, I'm going to probably get it in green if i can, just because everyone has the red one...
