EUROPESKATE.COM Connecting skateboarders
The skateboard deck industry is becoming ever more competitive in the past years and this has led to new ideas and directions being followed in the development of the boards we trust. This can’t be seen as something bad as the industry has to push the limits to make decks evolve, become better, lighter, more robust and add that little extra of pop than the other companies.
I have no idea how these bamboo decks from BambooSK8 will pass the test of skating (I’ll be contacting them, let’s see if we can get some test boards over to Europe…) but I do like the idea of using a fast growing plant which has and does prove its strength even in skyscraper scaffolding constructions in certain countries. So it should do the job for a skate deck.
The green effect is an “extra bonus” which all of of us should look at more closely. Bamboo is harvested but does not have to be replanted like trees do. Maple trees are cut down after growing for several decades and if the facts are all true on the site, skateboarding is in place #31 for causing deforestation in North America. I’m not going to dive ointo that topic as I would have to spend a few days investigating all of the facts, who replants trees and all of the related factors.
So, no I am not putting down other manufacturing processes as I will continue to ride maple boards. But the concept behind BambooSK8 is interesting and definitely worth following in the next few months. You can find them at the ASR tradeshow in San Diego this weekend, booth #3519 or visit their website for more information.
Bamboo is not the only technology that skateboard industry use to make board.
Armor Light, 6 ply or Push Carbon are more solid than other construction
I agree The green effect is an “extra bonus†but skateboarder prefer solid board than green one.
I agree with you on you point with prefering a solid board. It will interesting to test the bamboo boards. I am in contact with them so I hope to get some test boards.
I skated a bamboo deck a few weeks ago at Etnies gvr and it rocked man – it was so strong. Tons of people were digging them. They definitely have a buzz going on.
I’ll order a bamboo deck and I hope I won’t forget to write about how it was to skate it.
I expect the deck will be very solid
Have you managed to test these boards yet?
No, I haven’t received any decks as of yet. But I’ll get on the case again because I really want to test them!
Hey, Im sponsored by Bamboo SK8, and the decks are awsome, great pop and really sturdy!
Hi

wusup. im sponsored by bamboo and ive gone through many of maple decks that just lost pop and cracked and flexed, but bamboo boards are sturdy,light,and have the best pop on ANY deck ive ever skated. and plus you help the enviroment because bamboo plants grow super fast and using bamboo means no deforestation.
man these bamboo skateboards can not be beat…..they hold up alot stronger than any type of maple skateboards…..their unique shape and design make the board light as well as making your tricks high. Ive had mine for a while and i must say “whoo”!its holding up alot better than any brand name company’s…girl,chocolate,you name it! These boards hold up better than maple and also helping the enviorment and no more deforestation.
BAMOO SKATEBOARDS RULE!
I told people that I was sponsered by Bamboo sk8 and tons of people didnt know what it was but thanks to me and my friend mike buck now every skater in town wants one because we’re all sick of Maple decks I’ve snaped 2 maple decks in this last week so now me and my town is ridding eco friendly
I had never heard of BambooSK8 until they sponsored me on sponsorhouse.com. I had no idea about the benefits of bamboo skateboards to our environment, or the effects that maple skateboard production has on our environment. BambooSK8 has not only helped me with tricks and other skateboard related things, but BambooSK8 has opened my eyes to the urgency that is the state of our planet. Did you know that maple skateboards are one of the largest tree annihilators in the world? I can honestly say that I had no idea that this was true. BambooSK8 skateboards consist of 7 plies of strong, lightweight bamboo. I am completely serious when I say that after 3 weeks of hard skating, this BambooSK8 deck still feels brand new. I mean seriously, it’s like the hulk on steroids. Is that even possible? The deck may not have the most defined shape, but that is relative once you try the deck. 2 of my friends who are mediocre skateboarders come up to me and ask for help on a trick and I always ask to see their board. Their board has usually lost all of it’s pop. Although it is still possible to do tricks on a board like this, I always recommend a bambooSK8 for them to try. I have already given 2 bambooSK8′s to these 2 friends, and they absolutely love them and are stoked to try something new. BambooSK8 decks just fell nice on your feet. They are eco-friendly because bamboo grows back EXTREMELY quickly from dead stumps, and it is not a panda’s habitat. BambooSK8 is a positive influence on the environment, the ignorant, and any skateboard enthusiast. i always feel confident on my bambooSK8, and I am already catching my kickflips and treflips much higher than before. Thank you bambooSK8, you are super awesome
I am all for the bamboo because they are eco friendly pius they are ultra strong the last 20 boards i had were either canadian maple or armor lights and by the way those things sucked and all those were from two years and my friend has had a bamboo skateboard for 4 months not many pressure cracks or anything in it.
so as you can tell bamboo is they way to go
i was lost with canandian maple
but bamboo boards saved a skater like me

I have had a bamboo skateboard for about three days now and its nothing like my old board. My new board is a 31 x 7.5 and it is awesome. It has so much more pop than my old plan b.The thing I like most about my new deck is the molecular fibers. Its like memory foam so i have a nice clean pop every time. I can land every trick easier and more cleanly. Have you ever got so frustrated over a trick and just cant seem to land it no matter what you do? Well I used to have that problem but since I have switched to bamboo I no longer have that problem. Thank you bamboo for being the best sponsor possible.

I have had a bamboo skateboard for about 2 and a half months, and it is actually one of the best boards i have ever had. it has some of the most pop and good concave, and it holds those two for quite awhile. Normally when i have decks they either break or lose all there pop and concave in about a month or two but with this bamboo skateboard it has already lasted me more than most boards have. The other thing i like about bamboo is that they help the environment a lot. Bamboo takes less time to grow and is just as strong if not stronger than maple boards. Overall i like bamboo boards and they have a really sick logo to.
dude, nothing beats these boards, these things have serious pop. but even better, they hold there pop for longer than any other board ive had, the only deck that even comes close is my alien workshop board, which i gladly hung up after skating the bamboo board for just ONE DAY.
bamboo sk8 are really changing the skateboard game with theses awsome boards these boards last 4 ever and ever these boards has alot of pop and have alot of flexibility so they dont break and are very light so you better buy 1 or 2 they are the best.
bamboo isnt just the best manufacturer for skateboards it is the only bamboo skateboard manufacturer. i love their skateboards and i skate so much better on them. when ever i get on a bamboo skateboard i feel like i do so many things that i have never been able to do. like the other day i just learned how to hard flip on one. so bamboo keep makeing your boards and ill keep on skateing them. thanks
bamboo skate decks are awesome! they are much sturdier and have a great pop, i rode one and the board was amazing.
i met some kid at black diamond today who had a bamboo sk8 deck adn i stopped a fakie tre first tre on his bord ur bords r sick
i thank bamboo skateboards r alsome. they r better then other skateboards out there.

Hello,
I know all the skaters out there think there is no help if you are not getting better at your tricks and not popping them high and catching them, but theres help to all that and it’s BambooSK8. They not only helped me at my tricks and my skating but helped me as a person. I feel so much safer when trying bigger obstacles because they don’t crack easily, i’ve had my board for 1 month and done some bigger things not 1 crack or even pressure crack. My other boards crack and pressure cracked easily, i live in Illinois so i can’t get much skating in for the winter but when i had the chance and tried the big things the board held up. I also think BambooSK8 boards but even being sponsored by them from sponosorhouse.com has made me a more confident and more happy skater, it has really changed my skating life. I would like to thank BambooSK8, The Eco Tribe, and everyone who helped BambooSK8 happen and also to give us skaters a chance to tell about it.
Thanks,
Austin
Hello,
i never heard of bamboosk8… until i was searchin for a new skateboard manufacturer to sponsor me and they were the first on the list! I read there whole website and loved what they had to say they had a great backround and i think what they are doing for the world is great! I always am lookin for something to give me a better edge. And so then i applied for sponsorship! and they accepted me! i was stoked! so then i bought it for what 20 bucks yeah very cheap and i just bought a board for 75 bucks like 3 months earlier and i was like ok 4 times less for these sweet so i picked up 2 and they were lighter than that board that i payed 75 for that had good tech. to them but the bamboo was lighter and i tried them both out and bamboo was so much better i got a higher ollie got my first double kickflip flatground with that board and i was stoked and i loved the sound of the pop and it lookes sexy! also they are savin the enviroment! how great so far thats cheap, green, sexy lookin’, stiff, nice pop, and it has great concave!
wow and it so fat has been holdin up great i landed right in the middle once after kickflipping off a 2 foot box and no even a crack wow after 3 weeks of skatin and then i land like that and i test the board i havent used to that one the only difference i saw was that the only difference was that i boardslid alot and it was all colored from the rails and i was still getting great ollies and great kickflips and such i dont think that they could be better! well maybe they should put some carbonfiber in there maybe but idont know so far i dont think that that is needed!!
you guys at bamboosk8 need to send to europe and other places and i think you should have a selection for what kind of grip to get other than that i love you guys so much and you guys are doin great i will skate bamboo forever wow! how awesome you guys got skate down now to snow haha

these boards are great they are better than most of the pro model boards i have including girl,baker and plan b..these have sooooooo much more pop so you will learn ur tricks way faster if u skate bamboo. and the bamboo has a higher tensile(impact) strength than solid steel! these boards last soo much longer i would recomend them to anyone especially street skaters.i live in new england and have been skating them all winter!!!!! they can take anything i have landed on the middle of the deck on 7 sets and nothing and i wiegh 125 lbs i have had the board 3 weeks and not even a pressure crack!!!!!! what can beet that not even carbon fiber
i love these board and will be skating them forever
thanks 4 the sponsorship opportunity i have a video in the making rite now
these boards are the best iv skated. they do not splinter, avoiding the skaters task of trying to keep his board in one piece
they are lighter and have more pop, and suprisingly my bamboo board i bought 3 months ago and it is still in one peice, usually a board lasts me just under a month. i am currently sponsored by 6 companys who use my pictures and videos to advertise there brands, but bamboo skate is by far the best brand if you want quality and for an affordable price.
Wow i was looking for a sponsor and i found Bamboosk8, the next day i looked in my inbox and they sponsored me. After i accepted the sponsorship request i then bought a Bamboosk8 deck from the website. I got the Bamboo deck in the matter of 3 days. Since ive been using the deck i loved it! i have been using it everyday, havent used my old skateboard in a while. bamboosk8 decks are not only light, but they are durable,easy to use and i can now to a varial heelflp, Bamboosk* decks have a better scoop than most of my decks that i have. I orderd a 7.7 deck and it fits me perfectly. I think bamboosk8 decks are stronger than any of the pro models i landed a 6 set in the middle of the board nothing happend, i am 105pounds.i love these boards and i will always skate bamboo.
bamboosk8 decks are much better, stronger, and are eco….deffidently the best
Bamboosk8 is the best thing that has ever happened to skateboarding. They are the toughest boards i have ever skated and I am never going back to maple wood. Bamboo sk8 is very environmentally friendly. they use bamboo which is a grass, which grows really fast. I have skated these boards and they have the best pop ever. I learned new tricks the first day i skated it. These boards also resist razor tail a lot more than cheap maple wood. My dream is to see everyone on a bamboo board in the next 5-10 years because once you buy one, you will never go back. So all of you skaters out there who want something new, something that will make you land your tricks more, something more environmentally friendly, something better, GO GET A BAMBOOSK8 BOARD RIGHT NOW!
Bamboo SK8 decks, wheels, and hardware, are the most eco friendly boards in the world. They deserve to be more famous than they are (at the moment.) Bamboo SK8 decks, are light weight, and easy to use. Ever since I purchased one, I cannow varial flip… and I actually find it easy. Buy a Bamboo deck if you want to save maple trees.
‘Bamboozile the maple’.

Bambo decks sound like a great board to have. I WANT ONE.
Bamboo decks sound like a great board to have. I WANT ONE.
i have never sk8ed a bamboo deck so i would want to sk8 one but i dont have the money…….but if i win a board i would tell everyone about u guys and talk about u guys in videos
Bamboosk8 decks are AMAZING. Now that i got one my tricks just float. I also just relearned my hardflips and fs flps with my bamboo board. I love bamboo boards. Its the best deck ive had so far.
Thanks bamboo for sponsoring me,
Carter Cordes
Man. I think bamboo deck is 1 of the best decks i ever had. Their hard to break and the best part is they last a LONG time, so get sponsored with bamboo sk8 you will see how long the boards last.
Im Richard Matta, sponsored by Bamboo Sk8; level 1. I have been working on variel flip and nollie variel flip. Right now I ride a element and an enjoi, and i still cant get that trick down. I bought a Bamboo Sk8 deck and i almost shit my self. They are amazing, about the 5th time I tried variel flip i landed it and now i have it down great. I can occasionally can land a nollie variel flip. I also have a ankle problem. My bones are weak and so i had surgery to have titanium bolts inserted in to my ankle to support them. And when i skate my element and enjoi i can feel them when i land, but no no no not on my bamboo deck. My point is Bamboo is amazing!!
hi im stephen staehle. I ride for bamboosk8 their so awsome i cant wait to get my hands on that 100% bamboo deck with its long lasting pop. But i boght daewon song impact before i new about bamboo and so once i bought the impact a couple days later i got an email that said your order has been canceled so i was mad but hey the next day i got a letter from bamboo for a sponsership and once i got that and read how good this company is it cheered me up and cant wait to get my bamboo deck and so wat im tring to say is that bamboo skateboards rock visit Bamboosk8.com for decks and more
ok lets see, Bamboosk8 had way more durable boards then the canadian maple. The maple tree has to be replanted and so on as where bamboo does not. The Bamboo industry supports the “going green” kind of thing as where it helps the envirement. This is a definate good thing. As of the boards, the bamboo board has amazing pop and is uber light. This board is more trustworthy then the canadian maple is. The bamboo board will not snap easy (unless your doing some hardcore skating). Thank you for your time, Bamboosk8 is superior.

looks as if some team manager sent out a spam mail to his team members???? Keep it real people, this isn’t a commercial platform…
Is this not a site for free speech on how people feel about a product? This has nothing to do with commercial platform… it has to do with us young skate kids who believe in something positive and want others to know about it. We are proud of what bamboo sk8 is doing for the industry so we collectively took it upon ourselves to write how we feel. FREE SPEECH!!!!
well my name is victor perez i m from vista and i am sponsered by bambbo sk8 and i havent bought one of there boards but my friend chris who is also a sponser he bought one and let me used it and is the best boards ever so then i bought it from him and i SNAP my maple board and now i have a bambbo deck thank you bambbo sk8 for making the greatest board ever
First off, I wanted to say how much work BambooSk8 puts into their product, and is appreciated by us skateboarders! BambooSk8 has a goal to help save the envirnment while making strong, durable, and flexible skateboards that are perfect for any type of skateboarding; Street, skate park, or just skating in a garage. The concave is steep for a nice pop while having a nice surface that you can’t go wrong with. The reason bamboo is so great is it’s flexibilty, like I pointed out earlier– when you come off that 11 set at that school down the street, you expect it to be a rough landing, but with bamboo it uses its ability to bend, without snapping, to absorb the shock that most maple decks lack. Now let’s talk about the weight. Let’s just say that all those days you dreamed about flying has finally come– BambooSk8′s decks are incredibly light which makes your pop (which you thought was great) even higher!
Overall BambooSk8 has been manufacturing a great product and deserves a ton of respect for what they’ve done. Canadian maple may be “original” and still have some good prospects but in my opinion bamboo is the way to go!
Thanks BambooSk8 for the sponsorship and keep up all the great effort you put into everything!

Bamboo why not?…I would like to bamboo to get big..I would like to keep skating on through my years of living, and if skateboards get banned from being made because of it killing trees would die out my life…Europe needs these boards, everyone needs these boards, and people need to spread the word…I would like skateboarding get off number 31 for causing deforestation in North America.
Bamboo or Maple?
Through the years many people have tried numerous materials to make the best skateboard. Some have tried aluminum, plastic, and the most common, maple. Everyone thought that maple seemed to work the best. Then a company called Bamboosk8 came along and showed all of them up. Their boards were 100% bamboo. The boards held their shape longer than maple. The weight was so light it was incomparable to the others. When board-sliding the bamboo showed no sign of bend-age. They did not splinter when nosediving down a nefarious 15 stair. Bamboo was more friendly to the environment and grew faster than maple. And so, Bamboosk8 went down in history as the best skateboards known to man and the environment.
Bamboo Sk8 is the best skateboarding company out there. I bought a deck from them about a month ago and it hasn’t even chipped! The very first time I dropped into a 9-foot vert quarter, I was using a Bamboo Sk8 deck. As a matter of fact, that was today! Bamboo is the latest and greatest thing I have skated. They are very environmentally friendly and the pop in it is just beautiful. I haven’t skated a better board! Now, I can’t say the same for maple. MAPLE SUCKS! Every maple board I have skated has broken in less than 2 months. I bet this one will last for at least 3. I am currently trying to get my friends hooked on Bamboo Sk8, and so far, it’s working! Bamboo is truly amazing. When it comes to the skateboards I have bought in the past 5 years of my life, nothing has been more money saving than Bamboo Sk8. Bamboo Sk8 is going to be a revolution! This “rock-hard” canadian maple is literally a serious joke. We need to stop the use of maple because it is killing all the maple trees in North America. If I had any control over what goes on in North America, I would prevent the cutting of maple trees. That concludes my essay, and thanks Bamboo Sk8, for standing beside me, and thanks for the sponsorship.
I love Bamboosk8 boards like a fat kid loves chocolate. They Are completly the best thing to ever be introduced to skateboarding. idk why Skateboarding didnt just start out with bamboo. its pure Genius. Everything about this company and there boards is amazing. Even if people prefer a stiffer board its nice to have some flex goin on. A company like this is gonna make great progress to a greener world. Thanks BambooSk8. I love everything you guys do.
bamboo decks are nice, i got one right now and its tight. i thought you know like any other blank deck usually breaks easily but this one if i land a little off bolts on my ten stairs it seems to hold up. there durable they last, bamboo sk8 decks are rad
dude these bamboo boards have great pop and are indistuctible try 1 there amazing
the bamboo boards are one of the greatest boards i have ever skated i landed my first tre big flip both on that thing first try and its no where near like the maple boards these have like infinite pop and some of the greatest concave it makes you do tre flips with no effort like the board flips it self and goes right underneath your feet the down side to it it gets annoying when people keep on asking to skate it and freak out about how light it is
yo ur decks are the best i love the designs there so rad bamboosk8 is my favorite brand
man bamboo is so rad because it grows so fast so we dont have cut and waste the trees that need more time to grow im into saving the earth our school just got torn down from asbestos and my friends and i helped recycle the wood and i like to think of that as what you guys are doing for the new generation of skaters all over
your boards our awseme their the only boards i ride with
I love how you guys are making skateboarding history with the best boards ever. It’s truly awesome what you guys are doing with skateboarding. Pretty Sweet!

bamboo skateboards are seriously the best board i have ever skated the whole time ive been skating (2 years) they have amazing pop, the kind of concave i like (a little) and they are super strong. i’ve had mine for like 1 1/2 months and i havent broke it yet. i usually go through boards in about 3 weeks. they are sturdy but just right. i like the logos to theyre sick. i really like them but my mom don’t want to order anymore cause were tight on money cause she had surgery. if you give me this board i will skate it for as long as i can and treat it good. sickest boards ever. i can’t get over how good the pop is and how long it stays good. amazing boards keep up the good work and quality. id like to get my local skateshop to sell them
BambooSK8 is changing the game. Where can I get one?
bamboo isn’t about strength dude, who cares how strong the board is.
just skate dude, bamboo is helping us save the planet plus offer a different type
of deck out material that is easily grown. skate, have fun, snap your board? go get a bamboo support the cause, be one the one’s that make the change.
I’ve been skating for about 2 years and ive gone through over 25 maple, even carbon fiber decks and i have to say switching to bamboo was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made. The first thing i did with my baddass bamboo board was take it down a huge 8 set after breaking a few maple decks on it and it held up after that and for months after. I’m still shredding on the same one. So to answer your question, hell yeah bamboo beats maple. No doubt about it. All the advantages just keep adding up, and i don’t see any cons to skating bamboo.
Bamboo skate is not only one of the best of the boards out there,but it is more long lasting and guarenteed to satisfy your skating.Since i bought my bamboo deck,its the only one ive been skating.it has made ALOT of improvement in my skating and i love it.
Bamboo for life.
PEACE.
Bamboo skateboards are definetely much better than maple decks. The boards are super strong and flexible, and they have an unbeatable, long-lasting pop. I’ve been skating my brand new Bamboo Sk8 skateboard for a couple of weeks and I can still feel the improved pop and stiffness of the board. Just the other day I tried to nollie off a ledge over a rail, but I landed on the rail. I thought the board was going to break, but instead the board bounced right off the rail wihtout the skightest sign of damage. Bamboo Sk8 skateboards are the smartest and most ecofriendly alternative to maple skateboards!
Bamboo sk8 is thhe most eco friendly board company i have ever heard of!
I know bamboo is really strong and i need a board that has great pop and bamboo delivers both.I like that you cant just snap the board easy because i just snapped my almost board the other day and can’t afford a new one so im guessing if i get a bamboo board it will last me a long time will still having a-lot of pop. Thank you Bamboo for being so eco friendly and coming up with this great idea to use bamboo boards,it will surely help the enviorment.
AWSOME IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
this board is very strong and incredibly solid with this board you dont have to worry about it breaking so quick. This board has out lasted all the other decks i have had. It has even outlasted my blind eternal life this board is amazeing its is great for the enviroment to so its a win win situation!!! buy them you will not regret it!!
Bamboo decks are way better more pop, last longer and eco friendly.
Maple boards are made from trees i think and thats killing our trees and our forest
You should check out bamboo skate .com and ask for an order forum
Personally i’d rather take BAMBOO over sucky maple
GO BAMBOO SK8
Hey whats going on everyone… just wanted to make sure everyone knows about bamboo boards, if you not on one your not on a board at all… bamboo boards have some of the best wood iv ever ridden.. there so finely compressed i haven’t snapped it yet and iv had it for almost four months now, or maybe its just the inspiration that bamboo sk8 gives me to keep sk8ing…. either way i love my board.. i think i am going to ride bamboo boards from now on… oh and kudos to bamboo sk8 for sponsoring me, i really appreciate it… so to all you sk8ers out there who do not have a bamboo board GO GET ONE…… and don’t stop sk8ing it…. bamboo boards are so strong and durable you wont know your riding a piece of wood you think your riding steel. i had to choose between an almost board a zero board and a bamboo board, and guess which one i chose….. exactly the bamboo board… everyone one needs to ride bamboo its crazy, psycho, if you don’t have one, there top of the line, THE BEST SK8 BOARD YOU WILL EVER RIDE…. GO GET YOURSELF ONE AND BATHE IN ITS GLORY AND ITS AWESOMENESS…. GET ONE…
i never knew there were bamboo skateboards until bamboosk8 sponsored me i was so happy when they sponsored me and wanted to learn all about them and bamboo boards i really like the bamboo sk8 boards the have higher pops and help the environment and that is great i i will use bamboo boards for the rest of my skateboarding life thanks bamboosk8
Dude bamboosk8 are way better than any other deck out there they will shred through and make thier way to the top they are so strong bamboosk8 decks are the best in the world and will always be.
i’ve never ridden a bamboosk8 deck but I have heard alot of good reviews from my friends. I look forward to buying one as soon as i get a chance and help with the enviroment
ive never ridden any thing like a bamboosk8 deck they are amazing no matter what size you get espicially the concave. never will i ride maple again and neither should you make that mistake one u get a bamboosk8 deck never will you ride any other deck in the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, just because I have a LOOPD Eco Tribe BambooSK8 Sponsorship, doesn’t mean I’m not going to break down the facts in a truthful manor. I’ve been skating for over 14 years now, and I was honestly shocked when I rode my Bamboo SK8 deck tonight for the first time. The pop was incredible and unlike anything I’ve experianced with any other brand, or even style of skateboard. The slide (for noseslides and such tricks) was insane! It’s as if you didn’t need to wax anything to slide with it, and to top that off, it really stays with you through the whole thing. The shape of the Bamboo SK8 decks, also, is an original. At first I looked at it thinking “the nose of this deck is really concaved upwards”, but man I see why now. It helps you control the height and stability of your ollies so much more then a regular maple deck. Speaking of stability, the actual balance of the board itself is just sick. You honestly feel like you have 100% absolute control of that skateboard, and the truth is, you really do. This is honestly one board you don’t have to worry about snapping, because it’s not going to happen for quite some time. You’ll really get some serious use and time out of this board before it eventually does snap. Remember, they don’t call it BAMBOO SK8 for nothing folks! Another feature is that it’s very aerodynamic. I’ve never spun a 180 that clean before, and with barely any effort from me. I really don’t think I’ll be buying a regular canadian maple deck ever again. From now on, it’s strictly Bamboo for me.

EveN though i never had a bamboo sk8 deck in in my live i heard alot of good things about this company. Its a good thing hat tis is the firs cmpany that i know of, that is actually making a change for the environment. I’ve read about bamboo trees a it is true that thier really strong and last long. Most of the boards i had broke really easy from jumping big gaps and most boards get chipped really fast and i know alot of skaters hate that.
Bamboo or Maple? Treating the environment like we don’t care about it or saving and helping the environment? Saving Trees or taking them away? What would you choose?
My friend got hooked up with bamboo and he bought a deck, so I was like how did you get sponsored bro? He was like I will show you. So I tried to get sponsored and the next thing you know I was. I road his bamboo 7.5 and I was like its so smooth and its saving trees. I have never been so impressed ever, and so whenever we went skating I would take his board and make him use my maple. I’m just thrilled to hear that finally someone has developed a skateboard that makes a skateboarders needs and save the trees. Without Bamboo skateboards, it would be like everyone is still trying to waste away the earth we live on today and maybe some people who don’t like us skateboarders, will finally notice that we are trying to protect our environment the ways others don’t

There is about a whopping 12 million people in the world that ride a skateboard! Skateboarding is a very risky yet, dangerous but fun sport! Skateboarding was born close to the late 1940s or early 1950s when surfers in California wanted something to ride when the big waves were flat. Some people believe that skateboarding is a waste of time and is very risky to ride but I am here to tell you that I believe skateboarding is very safe, and we need a Skate Park in Alpine, California!
In addition a Skate Park is a great idea for a place in the urban Alpine, because it will help keep kids off the streets! Everyday kids are sucked into nasty drugs because they are on the streets with bad kids who make terribly horrible decisions! The skaters and bikers of Alpine would not have to worry about getting hit by a car everyday anymore! Help Alpine get Skate Park because of the reason that the kids are on the streets.
Although kids are on the streets, Alpine needs a Skate Park because there are a lot of kids in Alpine that ride bikes and boards! There is about 15,300 people in Alpine and the parents have 1.5 kids in an average! There is one gigantic middle school and at least four elementary schools! Seventy-five percent of the kids in Alpine ride bikes or skateboards!
There are a lot of reasons that we need a Skate Park but also a lot of reasons why some people don’t want a Skate Park. A reason why people don’t want a Skate Park is the safety concern. Kid’s need to always be safe is what people think. Finally another reason why people do not want a Skate Park is the money! Alpine already has a tight budget but Kiwanis would give us about thirty thousand dollars and the parents and grandparents could pay the rest!
We really need a Skate Park here in Alpine. How can we live without it! The kids on the streets need to be cleaned up with a huge broom and dumped into the Skate Park if we ever get it. The huge population in the small town would also like the park! Let’s all get together and help Alpine get a nice, brand new Skate Park!
hey the bamboo decks are super strong and thats all i sk8 now
bamboo skateboards are the best. not only do they last longer but they dont use regular wood. bamboo skateboards are made out of BAMBOO how cooler could it get i got a bambbo skateboards and kickfliped a 10 the first day i got it get the beast in you with bambbo skateboards
bamboo,skateboard,good
bamboo deck are the probaly the best decks and most eco freindly deck out now so they
ROCK
ok iv skate all kinda of different boards and i can honestly say that bamboo boards last so much longer they have just as good pop as a brand new board but the pop lasts longer and the board are great ik that im gonna keep skating bamboo and they r a great sponsor and im not just saying that bcuz i wanna win that bamboo board i really mean it they send me messages all the time giveing me updats and no other sponsors do that and they hold so many events and they make it so everyone has a chance to win well thanks you for listening to me on this peace
If anyone ever says that maple is better than bamboo, they are either lying or don’t know what a good skateboard is. Bamboosk8 makes the best boards i have ever used or seen. they are great for the environment and not only that but they are amazing skateboard decks! If you try to snap a bamboo board and a maple board you will see the huge difference. Compared to bamboo, maple snaps like a twig. To anyone of any age or any skill level, i would strongly recommend a bamboosk8 deck over any maple deck.
i love bamboo skateboards i have had this one for about 2 months and nothing is even wrong with it. NO CRACKS IN THE END OR PRESURE CRACKS, NO SPLINTERS, NO SNAPPING, EXTRAMLEY GOOD POP I REALY THINK THIS COMPANIE IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.
dawg, save the earth and shred at th same time! How much better can it get? So dont buy them maple boards no more! Get bamboo, because when you skate bamboo not only are you shredding but you are shredding GREEN! I suggest go GREEN and skate BAMBOO!!!!
i love the bamboosk8 boards i only have riden one and was like damn this board is the shit. i would have bought one but i dont have no money so i hope that i get the chance to win the most excellent board i have ever riden on
Yes, bamboo boards, with more of them we will save our environment. Bamboo doesn’t help make oxygen, trees do. so why cut down oxygen producers when you could go green.
yyyooooo
bamboo skateboards are strait up genius…..bamboo, the fasted growing tree vs maple…. which who knows how long it takes that to grow. seriously bamboo boards are amazing. my bamboo board is the lightest at my school let alone the skatepark, and i havent even notice a pressure crack. and for all those people who think riser pads make more pressure cracks, i skate riser pads. bamboo boards are slippery…. what i mean is that maples dont slide without wax, but when my friends element rail needs wax i barely notice, until his maple krown sticks to the rail and he eats some major crap. WHY COULDNT ANYBODY ELSE THINK OF THIS. this is the best idea since skateboarding was invented…..and sliced bread =)
what the hell…. everyone has said theyre amazing but mine was reallly flexy and snapped in january (it was like 6 degrees out).
Bamboo Sk8′s boards are a lot stronger than maple and have a lot more pop. I have proof because I can ollie a lot higher with my bamboo board than i can with a maple board.
banboo decks are way too flex, anyway the guys at bamboo are doing something for the planet. and that is good, show some support to these guys.
A bad example of a company is alien workshop and habitat, those guys at dna distribution that now is owned by burton snowboards just suck, skateboard brands owned by a snowboard brand??? what is going on?? are skaters considering alien and habitat??? they are just sold out!!!!!! worst than element….. get real , dont support the snowboarders or surfers, support skateboarding – do not buy alien workshop or habitat.
Bamboo is much tougher … here’s a dude trying to bust one up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTgI4d6HnH8
I would like to test these,,, it seems like a good board! It is shame that we don´t have bamboo board here in Europe :/
hey !
where can i buy banboosk8 deck in europe? was about to order from their main site, but the shipping was way to expencive..
Yo, these reviews are sick…Ive been skating for a year and went through a black label, a birdhouse, and now im riding a zero… and well..my Zero deck is about to come to an end..I got pressure cracks, razor tail, and my pop had died down..i was gonna buy another Zero when i snap this one, but now im seriously thinking about switching to bamboo..maybe ill be able to hit my tre flips cleaner..and the environmental thing? amazing. I cant wait to get a bamboo Deck!! Bamboosk8, im gonna become a patron
Hi
Yes this board have a good pop but which board doesn’t when they are relativity new.
The concave is nice and I really liked it. But, I hate how flexible the board is it feels like it is going to break at any point. So I’m going back to my maple board and stays there.
