Mystery Review

So,

This is our first post. We're a group of dudes from the bayside area, QLD, Australia, who LOVE skateboarding! This blog will basically be an update of our travels, tricks and troubles, as well as gear reviews.

To kick off our blog, let's start by reviewing Mystery decks.

Mystery Skateboards:

Facts:
Mystery was first started by Jamie Thomas.
The logo itself was taken from the film Detroit Rock City.
All of the deck graphics are in black and white.


Deck Size: 7.75"

Responsiveness:
Mystery use a shallow grave concave design which I find is just enough. In turn, it allows for the board to have more pop. It almost calls out to be tre flipped.

Paint Wear:The paint wear in this deck has been quite good in comparison to other decks I have skated before. It seems to be layered enough that it lasts a while, even while being skated every day of the week.

Overall:
I would give this board a 9/10, it's served me really well.
-Great pop
-Concave perfect for flip tricks.
-Lasting paint.

In the future, i'd feel confident in recommending a Mystery deck to any of my mates, and hope that one of you decides to pick one up in the future.

Until then,
Skate or Die.

Matty.

  6. I don't have the balance to skate, but do you guys go out tagging? I feel like that might be a stereotypical thing to ask, but I love graffiti art and would love some tips on how to go out and do that.
