Depends on what your looking for in a skate man. Do you want wood or composite? They are all great skates. I just bought an integrity team.

i have the success and integ team and i have ridden the hampson. they are all very different decks. my main deck right now is the success and i LOVE it. im just really digging the shape. i like the concave much beter then the hampson. the hampson is so wide you cant feel the concave, but it makes it easier to land stuff. and the integ, its just amazing.
all the decks are super solid and are going to last you.

v0lcomjake, i would go with an oak. They make quality stuff and its pretty affordable. They are like 200. Everyone who has one seems to love it.

you could get 3 k39's for the price of an oak and just use them all at the same time or screw them together and make a tri-level....

id say go with the oak and stay with wood since you didnt like my integ or my omen

conwest, $219.99 on their site for the team.
Im thinkin about it... last year i wanted to get a prodigal, but ended up getting an 06 reed for pretty cheap

my decision was just like yours but between the oak and the satelytte success- i got the success and it is my favorite board i have EVER rode, it pops amazing, it goes w2w perfect, w2w flip tricks are stable, i love the weight, and it seems really durable so far

They are both very similar, but the Sattelytes will be a little wider in the tail.
The Oaks are $210 and Sattelytes are $230. You cant go wrong with either skate.

yeah the sattelytes tails are like 12" i believe. I was thinkin about getting one because i have big feet haha

v0lcomjake, my opinion will be much strong towards a sattelyte but they are all good boards.

a big up of the success (which i ride) is that it is uber wide on the tail and nose. like a skateboard it doesnt go skinny at the ends. its aawesome.

tahoe, thats good because i come from a skateboarding background.. probably explains why i cant land have the sh*t i try because my muscles are programmed to ride a skateboard Laughing

Ill be buying a board within a week or 2, im trying to get as many personal opinions as possible.

LF Walton best board i have ever riden. i think the success is also a great board so you wont go wrong with that but the Walton just has the sickest pop. my style has improved since i got it tremendoulsy. i would go with a walton or a succes, which with the wide tails is more forgeiving. example, if u land on the back or the front it wont always sink. its a very forgiving board. both good choices.

I think im gonna go with the success. I havent heard one complaint yet about it.
