I’ve been riding my Z-Flex Original Z deck for about 9 months now and it has lasted me very well.

Z-flex is a 1976 company and normally focus on cruisers like the Z-Flex delirium green cruiser or pool/bowl made boards like the Master Crafter Eric Dressen but they have made a few street/transition decks like the Rise Deck

I bought the Z-Flex Original Z from my local skateshop called The Skateshop (based in Poole).

Pop and Tail

So, this board has good pop that it retains for a good few months since I like to do tailslides I a have worn down the tail quite a bit quicker than normal, but this deck had survied it for again a good few months, this being said i didn’t even think of needing a new board till now because of the chips and the new shaped tail! 😂

Snaps and Cracks

The Original Z has not snapped and has no cracks! If I was to be doing lip slides and other tricks like that, it will most probably crack though (you will find that it will crack like this with most deck brands). When you stand on the board it feels great and has a flexible bendy feel but still feels firm and strong. For beginner skaters this board is perfect and you’ll have a fun time skating it.

Rating for each level of experience

  • No experience - really good choice. But, if you’re a complete beginner and your looking for a cheaper option as your first deck (but still easy to learn on), take a look at these decks: enuff skateboards.

  • Beginner - this is probably going to be your second deck and you’re looking for a new set up. It’s the perfect time to consider the Z-Flex board and you’ll find that you will progress a lot!

  • Intermediate - a really good time to get one and will be really fun to ride but at this stage it’ll be down to personal preference

  • Expert - personal preference is all I need to say, at this stage you will know what deck you like.

Here are a few pictures of my Z-Flex Original Z new and at nine months old:

If you are looking for a new set up or deck the skate shop is a great place to go with its wide range of skateboards.

Also remember that most brands keep the same shape for there decks so the origal Z is the same shape as most zflex boards for this sytyle of deck bur just a different pattern
