There are a lot of companies coming out of the woods and creating skateboarding boards. The trick is to know who you can trust and not get ripped off. As a longtime skateboarding freak I have had the chance to ride a lot of different skateboards so I decided to put together my top five list of skateboarding boards companies and I'll let you choose which board is right for you. Not all skateboards are the same and if you are new to the sport then this list will get you going in the right direction.

5 Best Skateboarding Boards

I don't have these in any special order but one of my favorites is Element.

Element Skateboards When you talk about skateboarding boards you have to mention Element. An older very established compnay they earn the right to be my first honorable mention. While they did have some problems a while back they came through with shining colors partly due to a guy by the name of Bam Margera. This gave the company credibility again and gave them the resources to do the research necessary to put out some great boards. If you are looking for a 7 ply board you can try their Thriftwood. This board is strong and really takes a beating. They have some new lightweight boards that aren't light on the wallet but they are light on the concrete.

Zero Skateboards If you want some insanely crazy graphics with skulls and knives then you are gonna love these skateboarding boards. Endorsed by Jamie Thomas along with Chris Cole these skateboards are killer on the concrete. Their lower priced boards are competitively priced and hold up well for the everyday rider. The high end boards are a bit steep but you get what you pay for.

Plan B Skateboards Plan B skateboards did a nice job for a relatively new skateboarding company. If you are aggressive and want a board that will stand up to the concrete then this is a good board for you. The 7 ply construction is what you would expect and holds up as well as an 8 ply right out of the box. Don't be afraid to take this board to task it can handle it.

Powell Skateboards Another ancient skateboard company that just puts out great skateboarding boards is Powell. You know if you're riding a Powell you are riding on a good board. I have pushed this board to the limit and other than a few scratches she held up great. I'm not a big fan of the graphics but if you can look beyond that you can feel confident that this board is going to last you.

Birdhouse Skateboards Other than the name Birdhouse it is a great board. You know they gotta be if Tony Hawk is involved. For me they rank right up there with Element and for many they are number one. If you are looking to get some air and land without worrying then Birdhouse will show you the way. With their new Black 6 technology you can rest assured they you are getting the top of the line skateboarding board.

There you have it, my top five skateboarding boards. Choosing a board you like is a very personal decision. There are things you will like with one skateboard and something else you will like with another. The trick is to find one that has most of what you like and then stick with it.
