the Union Punk Decks are the worst decks I have ever had, it's really, really weak. I snapped mine in 1 week of skating with it, and it was only kickfliping on flat ground. It can't take the strain of jumping down stairs. I wouldnt recommend this deck to anyone, its a big thumbs down from me with this deck.

This is the first time I've bought a non pro since I started skating and I'm chuffed to say that for thirty pound the Union Punk Deck is a quality deal. I can now kikflip and and almost double kikflip, its easier to varial and shuv it. Its the best pop I've had since my zero or flip hkd. The thing that makes this deck so good is that when you ride it, you remember that you've got an almost pro quality deck for half the price so you can go out and buy some nice bearings. This deck is good if you have cash flow problems.
