This deck costs around $65 and well worth the money. It measures 7.5in by 31.2in. This deck will not snap or focus no matter what you do to it. I have done millions of hard and violent grinds with this board and it shows no signs of snapping. Although it gets razor tail kinda fast, I'd say it overcompensates for that downside. I'm still skating it after about four months now. It has a flatter type concave perfect for street skating, but a deep nose and tail. I've filed the tail flat from razor tail but it is still very deep and has tons of pop.
The flip in this deck is amazing. I can spin a Triple flip on this deck whereas the same strength used on another would have only produced a double or a casper. It gets pressure cracks quite easily though I might add. Slamming flips down really hard over and over again have produced some mild pressure cracks. One of them in particular shows through the griptape. I've had to re-grip this board only once because I was learning kickflips into smiths and sometimed the board would land like a darkslide and potentially fuck up the griptape.
But for the hell I've put this board through and it lasting as long as it is while still maintaining good pop and flip I have to give this board a good rep.

Dont ask for rep it's stupid and triple flips sound a little fishy.

It was an okay reveiw, sounds like a good deck though.
