Almost Skateboards

$49.99
Almost Skateboards was started around 2003. It was largely backed by Rodney Mullen and Daewon Song. These two have been creating and closing skateboard companies for years. They both were a part of A-Team. Then Daewon went on to start Deka. I think there might of been another brand in there somewhere, but all in all most of these brands were just after thoughts of the old Word Industries days.



A-Team was almost a hit. But Almost was a home run. I think it was because this was the first time they didn't take it too seriously. The went on to build an unstoppable skate team: Ryan Sheckler, Chris Haslam, Daewong Song, Cooper Wilt and Rodney Mullen.

While Almost was brewing, Rodney Mullen was secretly developing the most technically advanced skateboard products the world of skateboarding had ever known. He experiment with different materials, ply orientation and glues. If you are willing to spend a little extra cash, you might ride some of the best skateboards you ever put your feet on.

    Almost skateboards are very known skateboards, whether you're a skater or not. Almost is one of the best skateboard companies I know, because they use super-durable wood around the trucks, which is where the wood usually breaks from landings of hard tricks (from pressure). So, their totally durable wood aroung the trucks gives the board a safer feeling and reassures you that your board will not break. Almost skateboards are always improving their decks, also, so each deck you buy, gets better and better. I recommend Almost because it's a popular company, they have awesome deck designs, and they are super durable for anything from ollies to hardflips. Also, pop on these decks is amazing, because they use durability in their wood, they give you easier pop, because you can push down harder, and it's still easy to kick out your board to do great fliptricks and spins. Almost is the best skateboard company ever!!!!

    I bought an Almost High Impact deck a little while back and absolutely love it, I can easily say that it is the best board i have ever ridden. It's just all around a perfect board. When I bought it i actually hadn't skated in about two years and then I walked into a shop had about $70 in cash in my pocket not planning on spending it, then I saw that board an knew I had to have it. It's been a perfect match ever since.

    Great durability and pop, although their boards are Chinese and not American. Still great overall quality and innovative graphics.

    One of the best skateboard companies based out of Dwindle Distro. I've ridden many boards over the years...none has been consistent and as well made as Almost boards. Let alone a company that gives back to the skateboarding community as much as Almost/Dwindle. Will continue to rock these decks for years to come. Boo Yeah!
