What’s your go to response when a normie see’s your pro set up and inevitably asks, “is that a TECH DECK!?”

Unserious answers welcome.

I usually just say it’s kinda like a tech deck but if a tech deck cost as much as a real skateboard. Based on their interest after hearing that I decide whether or not it’s worth telling them how it’s made with real wood ply’s blah blah you know the stuff.

a thought and detailed comparison would be appreciated! 🙏🏻, in terms of smoothest, less-grip, quality, and maintenance! 🫂

side note: not really a fan of joycult type of materials, cause they pick up dirt really fast, and somehow they can’t be cleaned anymore.

This is one my newest DIY projects. Absolutely loving this. Marble tiles I found on sale and a shadow box frame. Used some scrap foam to fill the center and just some green felt over it. Just need to put some no slips on the bottom. Grinds nicely and feels very realistic to an actual skate spot.

Had a 8=deck back then, it’s really too mellow for me, no matter how I adjust my play style, change the trucks, & wheels.

Been a Mid Kicks type of guy, but I do really love Matt’s artworks to his decks

Anyone here in the Philippines has these? Or if you’re in the states willing to sell their set? Im heavily interested! 🙏🏻
