element is the best
I have heard that Chocolate decks have solid pop, but Lib-Techs have amazing pop. They are just expensive.

i like mini logo's... some of you may disagree with the amounth of pop in them, but it's perfect for me.
Keep in mind that what we think is alot of pop and what you think is alot of pop may be different.

The new Black Label decks are supposed to have really good pop. Toy Machines also have good pop too.Strangely, when I try Popwars, their pop is just sorta so-so. Zero decks are used so often in street, they must have at least a decent pop, but I've never used one, so I don't know. Almost and Enjoi use resin-8 and resin-7 (weird expoxy stuff) and I hear they give good pop too.

I tried the new Toy Machine decks and they have like no pop.

._0 Weird. I didn't have any problem with mine, but then again, that was almost a year ago when I rode that deck though, so maybe they are just using different technique or wood or something. That sort of stuff rarely works anyways.
I ride a mini-logo, but I'm terrible at skating so I can't give good opinions. I know my snowboard stuff, though. But the Enjoi skate video is one of my favorites. Jerry Hsu! Jerry Hsu!

the truth is though pop doesnt effect your ollie height nearly as much as the grip on your shoes

Workshop and Enjoi decks always seemed to have the most "pop" to me....but that is just my opinion.
