Aluminum (aircraft aluminum) decks are significantly stronger and lighter than maple ply decks and will easily last longer than you want to ride it. Aluminum decks typically are more stable at high speed because they are less flexable. They are almost unbreakable, mine was run over by a car, bowed belly to pavement and sprung back without damage. The down side is that aluminum decks are stiffer so lighter skaters have a tougher time using the flex for stunts. The aluminum will slide faster rubbing against a steel railing. Doing 360s and similar tail or nose grinding will sharpen the tail and nose like a knife, hard on ankles. Can use a dremel grinder to round it easily.

Does a seven ply skateboard indicate that it is a real skateboard?
From VooDoo 13;-If there's a piece of wood w/ wheels bolted to it, it's technically a 'real' skateboard. - Most skateboard decks like Santa Cruz, Creature, Bullet, Zero, Girl, Toy Machine & Flip are made of 7 ply maple wood. Blind and Darkstar have some 9 ply skateboards. Element makes a skateboard series which has a fiberglass strip inside of the board.
What kind of wood are skateboards made of?
This is very good question. Usually the wooden decks are made out of maple, but story doesn't end there. The best wood material for decks is Canadian Rock Maple, but only few manufacturers make them. If the top layer of deck is stained in color you can be 90% sure sure, that it's regular maple, if maple at all, and the deck will wear out much faster then Canadian maple. I know that Element, Almost, Reinbe and Baker uses high quality Canadian maple, that will long last and provide much greater pop then usual maple or other wood.
What features should I look for when buying cheap skateboards?

Ensure that the board is made of maple and that it is 7 ply as this will indicate relative strength and durability.
