Seeing what you do at 200 lbs really boosts my confidence towards what I'll be able to do as I progress. Only 180 but still I feel bigger than most skaters I see
Yea, it's weird they're back like 10 years later. I reached out to see if they're the same as before or if stuff has changed, but haven't heard back from Girl yet. It might be back cause 10 years ago people were a lot more hesitant to "skateboard technology".
Ben Worwag Do they make any pop secret decks that are 8.5 or more? Just wondering, since you have one already I thought you might know. Thanks for any help you may have. 👍
Dang. I missed this video the 1st time around. Super solid review. Dig the honesty and I do miss the big lug. Hoping Shredz Shop and Levi make a comeback in 2022.
Been thinking about trying girl again, all through high school it was kind of my go to brand, but lately I’ve been with disorder and Zero, cause both brands have shorter and mellower tails, which helps me personally get a nice chill pop with little effort, and both brands have a nice big nose, I’m curious to try this pop secret in the G052 shape cause that’s Maltos shape and he says that shape also helped him get more pop after his ankle surgery
Love the pop secret tech. They were actually inspired and designed specifically for those skaters with ankle injuries and stuff, helping them to pop much easier.
This will be cool to try out! I’ve ridden both VX and Flight, they’re fairly interchangeable. I also want to try out Lithe and also Lib Tech’s skate decks
@@danielchigurh2235 that's what I'm saying I'm 30 and when I was maybe 15 a neighborhood kid got a lib tech and that thing was a beast. Had like a full solid coat of the plastic on both sides of the board and in the middle that was so thick it was insane. It board slid like you couldn't imagine haha
These boards are great. Rode mine hard for a few weeks with 0 chips. Lots of pop that sticks around. Switched over to a regular board and it chipped out in a few sessions.
2:55 idk about the vx but on the flight deck it’s got maple on the bottom with thin layers or carbon fiber in between each ply with a thick layer of carbon as the top ply. So no, your not sliding on carbon fiber
flight decks are five layers of maple and 2 layers of carbon fibre,one layer carbon fibre layer on top and one second from the bottom so the bottom layer is maple
How is the concave on this pop secret compared to the concave on the flight deck? And 2and is it as durable as the flight deck? I have a tendency of breaking boards fast and want a new deck and have already had the flight and wanna get something diffrent cause of the mellow concave isn't my thing but need to make sure the next board I buy can hold up and not snap like the flight. Thanks!
.... Flight decks have a top ply and a mid-ply.. not the bottom. And its on the sides of the tails where the flight boards chip like crazy, and reveal the fiberglass splinters.. that will probably happen with this deck too
You buy a girl skateboard then you're supporting China. I'll stick to skateboards made in the US why? I don't like the thought of knowing that my skateboard which is made out of wood is sitting on a boat for months in the water, salt water. I guess you probably never even thought about that
I would like to skate high tech boards, but they are very different to find in Finland. In 2016 I has a Flip P2 technology board, which was easily the best board I've ever had. Too bad I can't find any P2 boards nowdays and not even those Almost carbon fiber boards. I hope these Girl boards make themselves to Finland.
Probably the Flight deck, as those are pretty 'medium' to mellow concave decks. I like the more mellow stuff though. And it still flips like crazy if you get used to them anyway. It's a pretty regular shape all around, unless you go for the pointier nose and tail shape which is a bit different, but still medium to mellow concave.
That's Canadian dollars. They're $60 USD. So depends on how you go through boards, if you're chipping them to death, then not worth it, if you're a bigger guy breaking a few boards a week, these tech boards are a great deal.
@@benmiller9854 pretty sure girl stopped using Chinese wood. Either way it doesn't matter. It's all maple. The only difference is those price point boards.
and non off these boards are made any smaller than 8.0 as far as i know. Strangely I've been loving the 7.5 boards which is weird but tre flips are so much easier than my normal 8.25. Well i guess an 8.0 is ok might have to just buy one of these soon
Has this design been out for a while? I remember about 4 years ago I was at waxhaw skatepark and I traded some trucks with a guy that was skating there and he had this board in his trunk. It was a girl board that looked like the top ply had some sort of carbon fiber on it. Never seen it before on a girl until very recently
I’m not sure about the flight deck’s construction, but the Santa Cruz VX is NOT fiberglass on the bottom layer. It’s actually wood, and the next layer is fiberglass. The very top layer (griptape side) is fiberglass as well. Santa Cruz makes the best composite deck in my opinion. ✌️
having only top layer stronger is stupid, I skated Almost impact light (7ply boards with carbon fiber on top) boards and they break as fast as regular boards, they just brake in the middle and not on the nose and tail!
Honestly, nothing. I maybe would have sized up. It was an 8.5 and I’d go 8.6... with the narrow nose and tail it made the board feel skinnier than normal. But I really liked it all around.
Addding to Levi's comment, if you're someone who really cares about weight, they are slightly heavier than a Santa Cruz VX or Powell Peralta Flight Deck. But the trade off is they feel a little more natural with the wood plys and the shape on this board was soooo good.
These Pop Secret decks don’t have any fiberglass in them. Carbon fiber and fiberglass are two completely different materials. These decks just have seven plies of maple with carbon fiber (not fiberglass) strips on the very top, with some sort of resin, probably epoxy, to laminate the strips to the wood. And Flight and VX decks only use maple, fiberglass and epoxy, with NO carbon fiber.
I gotta say, this guy... he's grown on me.
I was about to post " this dude ain't right " until I saw your post. You saved me from being closed minded.
That doesn't sound right
Cameron Hudson lol fr
@@cameron9849 what that supposed to mean?
He's is the beavenizer
in case anyone cares: i’m skating this board right now, and it’s probably my favorite ever.
Have you tried any other boards with gimmicks? Curious.
@@svnbit8408 no, usually just get a shop deck and i’ve skated a couple of other standard girl boards
How much was it
Same
Just got mine and it feels heavy. Do you know why that might be?
Got a Sean Malto Pop Secret deck for Christmas in 2012. Absolutely loved it, and made me fall in love with 8.12 size boards.
Seeing what you do at 200 lbs really boosts my confidence towards what I'll be able to do as I progress. Only 180 but still I feel bigger than most skaters I see
@martin gonzalez thas hard af kudos
Bought a Guy Mariano Pop Secret back in 2012. So stoked they brought these back!
Yea, it's weird they're back like 10 years later. I reached out to see if they're the same as before or if stuff has changed, but haven't heard back from Girl yet. It might be back cause 10 years ago people were a lot more hesitant to "skateboard technology".
For VX decks, the top ply and the 2nd bottom ply is using the carbon fibre. Bottom ply is still maple veneer
Bought the Brophy pop secret deck about a month ago and still skating it now, they're dope! One of the best decks I've had imo
Ben Worwag Do they make any pop secret decks that are 8.5 or more? Just wondering, since you have one already I thought you might know.

@@stop736 Mine is an 8.25" from Skateboard Warehouse, you might check there for sizing ✌🏼
@@stop736 i saw a pop secret 8.6 board on tactics while browsing through the new stuff around a couple months ago
Thanks you guys! Appreciate the help!!
@@stop736 no problem!
Skating has come along way since I last skateboarding filling back in 2010
Definitely one of the best board shapes and pop I've skated! so sick.

🙏 🙏 🙏 We just hired a new editor and will have regular weekly videos again!! 🔥
Skull Skates 14 Things drops tomorrow and it's a banger!
best board i ever rode...im 48 ...skating since 15....flip boards with p2....light..super pop.
I loved the P2 boards. I think they were a little ahead of their time with them. We could barely sell those boards and they were soooo good.

I’m getting a Sean malto pop Secret deck . For girl normal girl decks have amazing pop, I am excited to see how much pop all this one have
How was it?
This will be cool to try out! I’ve ridden both VX and Flight, they’re fairly interchangeable. I also want to try out Lithe and also Lib Tech’s skate decks
lib tech is still around¿¡

i think big brother made fun of them or did a tour with them..or both.

wasn't josh falk on their team.
These boards are great. Rode mine hard for a few weeks with 0 chips. Lots of pop that sticks around. Switched over to a regular board and it chipped out in a few sessions.
Love to hear this kinda feedback! Team dudes here have been loving em!
Dude fiberglass is way diferrent than carbon fibre....

flight decks are five layers of maple and 2 layers of carbon fibre,one layer carbon fibre layer on top and one second from the bottom so the bottom layer is maple
I’m so hyped for this
Thanks!! We were bummed he couldn't skate it more with Coronavirus, but what can ya do? Maybe he'll do a later version.
I'm here for Levis "WHATS Aaaaahhhhppp!?!"
How is the concave on this pop secret compared to the concave on the flight deck?
And 2and is it as durable as the flight deck? I have a tendency of breaking boards fast and want a new deck and have already had the flight and wanna get something diffrent cause of the mellow concave isn't my thing but need to make sure the next board I buy can hold up and not snap like the flight.

Cool vid. What’s up with the 3 bolts on each truck? Is that a thing?
This board is great my other one broke mid manual
.... Flight decks have a top ply and a mid-ply.. not the bottom. And its on the sides of the tails where the flight boards chip like crazy, and reveal the fiberglass splinters.. that will probably happen with this deck too
I’m also hyped I’m gonna have to pic one up!

Flip P2 board was the best board I skated ever. Then I skated the Powell flight deck and skated it for 1 full year.
how has
this channel not gone viral yet
Out of the 3 brds which one has the “mellowest” concave?
Probably the Flight deck, as those are pretty 'medium' to mellow concave decks. I like the more mellow stuff though. And it still flips like crazy if you get used to them anyway. It's a pretty regular shape all around, unless you go for the pointier nose and tail shape which is a bit different, but still medium to mellow concave.
Aye thanks for using my beat much love ✌🏽i was literally looking for a review on this board and found my beat on this vid, pretty cool
"this one feels heavier," pretty common device can determine this for certain.
You mentioned almost everything about the board, except the size of it though yo /:
Mines an 8.25" (same style just black print) ✌🏼
It varies
that's definitely 8.5
@@tatutexx I think you are right
I'm an OG from 90. I wish the make size 7.75
and make more for sale.
Maybe they’ll have more sizes in the future. I think they’re just 8”-8.5” right now, but could be wrong
100 dollars I’m good I’ll stick to my 50 dollar boards
No shit. The technology boards wear down the same and I always end up going back to standard 7 ply boards.
That's Canadian dollars. They're $60 USD. So depends on how you go through boards, if you're chipping them to death, then not worth it, if you're a bigger guy breaking a few boards a week, these tech boards are a great deal.
Don't buy any Chinese made crap
drifting high enough what boards you buying for 50 cad dollars?
@@benmiller9854 pretty sure girl stopped using Chinese wood. Either way it doesn't matter. It's all maple. The only difference is those price point boards.
Levis the man!
I’m stuck on girl decks!! I like girls!!
Thanks for the review!!
I like enjoi boards. Always wanted to try a girl deck though.
I like this guy
What colors do they have? I want a teal or white like the one you had it n this vid.
Did you have to throw the Z in there bc of Shred Shop in Chicago?
I’ve had one girl board and it had so much pop this was 2010
Ive been riding real R1s for the last year. How’s the concave compared
Is this on ur website cuz I wanna cop
Is it still the board with the most enduring pop?
I think Pop Secret, Vx Decks and flight decks all have their strengths if you're looking for a long lasting board.
@@ShredzShop Last question… Most enduring pop for non-fiberglass decks?
Thanks again
Whats the concave like on this bord? Mellow or
I’d say medium
Solid review
Thanks
Also a bigger dude(about 230 lbs) would you recommend one of these?
Yea if you break boards I'd recommend. Levi's around that weight and he loved it. Just ordered him some more ;)
Wish I could find one to buy
So it's very similair to flight?
and non off these boards are made any smaller than 8.0 as far as i know. Strangely I've been loving the 7.5 boards which is weird but tre flips are so much easier than my normal 8.25. Well i guess an 8.0 is ok might have to just buy one of these soon
You can always do what neen does and have a 7.75 for flip tricks an 8.25 for ledges and an 8.5 for hucking :p
i love the knowledge !!!!!

Landon Squires yea they did it a few years ago also
🥳great video and review👍🏽
Shredzshop what kinda trucks you rockin?
I skate Thunder, Levi skates indy, I think!
Are all girl boards “pop secret” in construction or are they a separate range?
They have a normal range as well
I’m not sure about the flight deck’s construction, but the Santa Cruz VX is NOT fiberglass on the bottom layer. It’s actually wood, and the next layer is fiberglass. The very top layer (griptape side) is fiberglass as well. Santa Cruz makes the best composite deck in my opinion. ✌️
Carbon fiber
Great video! Someone knows the name of the music he put on the video?
How much will it cost to shipp in the Philippines..
You should check out the Lithe boards
If you can get ahold of a flip new wave that would be awesome
Is titus t fiber good?
So does it feel like having more pop than a normal board?
I would generally say yes, the pop is higher for all these carbon fiber maple wood hybrids.
having only top layer stronger is stupid, I skated Almost impact light (7ply boards with carbon fiber on top) boards and they break as fast as regular boards, they just brake in the middle and not on the nose and tail!
good videos dudes 🤘🏻
Thanks brothhhherrrrr
what music is in the backround shits a vibe
does it also have the pot secret ;)
It is a 8.5 ?
Yea it comes in all size

What is the outro song?
At the 4:30 part why were your nails painted?
Cuz fuck u that's why
Mike Hunt I don’t give a fuck. I was just wondering why. At one point they weren’t then they were at the end.
@@JR-ut9xx it was sarcasm, he probably painted them after he shot some of it and the did the middle part with them painted
What shape is he skating here?
I've had girl and chocolate, their good boards but fuck they have little to no concave
but what didn't you like about it?
Honestly, nothing. I maybe would have sized up. It was an 8.5 and I’d go 8.6... with the narrow nose and tail it made the board feel skinnier than normal. But I really liked it all around.

Wondering what's up with a lot of people not using all 4 bolts on their decks, can't imagine it saves that much weight. Anyone????
Usually I think it's cause they lost one.
Levi reminds me of Chad Muska!!
hahaha he will be so stoked on that! Muska's his fav!
Carbon fibre not fibre glass
So all the companies are having a pop war?
Tear drop technology!!
i miss popwar so much
hey does the homie have his own youtube¿
Sick, local!
Whats!!!! Up my dogs
Already I like that it’s thicker
Every board and dist has this new extra pop gimmick. Super sap. Impact. Pop secret. All it means is more money out of my pocket
Might be 4 years late but oh well I just order some pop secret boards.
Fucki ng hate the flick on these, hopefully you guys have better luck
i only ride girl boreds allways have
What's with the painted 💅?
Girls should be really good looking

good ole Randy. lost some weight!!!
he was BOUT TO SAY MY...NIGGA lmfaoo he caught his self though
dude is that a grill i see¿
This board is heavy as fuck. If you are flat ground dude, DONT buy it. Durability, shape is great but for flip tricks it’s a pain.
