I didn't read the product details before I ordered this so I thought it's also made of wood like all the rest, so I was surprised when I first stepped on it and the board flexed. But I was able to do all the shuvits, flips and ollie trick without problems and the flexing of the board was not that noticeable when doing tricks. I give this 4 out of 5 stars, considering I'm not a beginner in doing tricks with a skateboard deck and I haven't used a snowskate made out of wood so I cannot tell how much better the wooden snowskate is but I have a feeling that the pop would probably be better. If you want to save some money or you are more or less a beginner then I would definitely recommend this.
