Motive Skateboards – Smith Pro Mask

I’ve been hearing about how good Motive for quite some time from various trips to MK and then after they released their first video Dimensions I decided to take the plunge and ride one for the first time. I managed to pick up one of Sean Smith’s pro decks from the pro mask series, I liked the graphics and the overall shape of the board looked similar to what I would usually ride so it suited me.

My first impressions of the boards were good, the deck has quite a deep concave and thus the pop was decent and after I had become accustomed to it flip tricks were relatively easy to pull off which while is mostly down to me I’ve found some decks can really make things difficult for you but no such trouble with Motive.

After sessioning it for about a month the board was in as good a condition as any American board I’ve ridden so in terms of durability they defiantly measure up. Overall I was pretty impressed with what Motive had to offer and will be looking to ride one again soon, expect big things to come from this up and coming UK board company.
