""I think bamboo is going to change the way we treat the environment as well as the way we skate. I see nothing but good coming of this.
The quality of bamboo is better than maple and I have always been interested in the environment. I know some companies are using bamboo but for looks and not for the whole board. I know bamboo is very hard to break and has great POP if made right and I know Bamboosk8 knows how to do it."

"Overall I’m stoked with the boards! I thought the nose and tail would splinter, but they held up better than any deck I’ve ever seen! "

“We would sell our mothers for a bambooSK8 deck. Just kidding mom. We love BambooSK8 though!”

"I cruised over to Liberty Park to give the board its debut run. At first push, I could really feel the extra stiffness coming out of the bamboo board. At first pop, my ears were greeted with an extra loud crack from the concrete and a little extra boost. The first session was fabulous. The board responded just like a standard maple board. Next was giving the board the test of time. After three weeks of skating, I had less razor tail than a normal maple board, no chips and the board was still holding its pop and stiffness. The guys at Bamboo SK8 are really paving the way in board construction by creating eco friendly skate decks that last longer and skate harder than maple. Keep the green movement alive. "

"So far the decks are great. Everyone really likes them! One of the kids 3 days ago got hit by a car. The car hit him and dragged him 10 feet. The right front tire ran directly off the board with the wheels down. You could see the tire scuff marks on the top of the board. The board did not break and he is still riding it. Pretty awesome!! Fortunately, he only had some bad bumps and bruises."

"It's going good man the pop is beautiful and the feel is great I'm just not used to using size 8's so I’m still adjusting. I'm used to 7.8's but other then that its a dream come true."

"The boards are seriously strong and if they were maples they would have cracked by now under the conditions we have been putting them through. Such as landng on the board incorrectly on purpose and putting them through high impact landings and board slides etc."
