Traditional 7-Ply - Traditional for a reason. Standard 7-ply wood construction gives you a deck that's durable, sturdy and poppy.
This is a great board but just not my flavor . The overall length and wheelbase are a little too long for my preference. Turns out the 8.5 classic eagle is actually 8.25 and has the length/WB I prefer.
OK look, it's a popsicle deck not unlike most of them and in fact probably the same except for graphics. But this is the one I favor because those graphics are tight and tasteful. A couple artsy girls I know seem to agree as they indicated their unsolicited approval of my choice in rides. Also worth pointing out, these decks might be grey on the bottom but the top is always a bold color that looks cool peeping through a cutout in the grip or just around the edges with a standard grip job. The one I just got was fuchsia on top with a yellow layer under that, looks so sick. Aside from appearance it rides just like you'd expect it to and want it to. I'm not convinced there's any difference between 98% of brands - I think most decks come out of one of a few factories that serve everyone - but that said, somehow this one always seems to last a little longer than the rest. Maybe it's luck of the draw but all the same.
