Shipping: I ordered this on a Saturday and she shipped it on Wednesday and it came the following Monday. I was disappointed that it took over a week to get here from Ohio, as I live in California. It came in a standard bubble mailer with a bag.
8/10

First impressions: First impressions were okay. I found that the sanding and roundings were off. The nose was oddly shorter than the tail. I liked that you can see the woodgrain, and overall it looked like a pretty nice deck. 8/10

Craftsmanship: This was was where I was really dissapointed. The nose was very short and uneven and the tail was just weird. The whole deck seemed like 97 mm instead of 100. On the plies, you can see that it isn't laqured well at all. Another thing was there were gaps in the split, and after 2 days of usage, the split already started chipping. I think she should have used more laquer because the wood wears away very quickly and I stopped using this deck after about a week. All the sides of the bottom ply is either cracked or chipped, or about to chip. This also was a pain to set up. The holes weren't drilled big enough or straight, so I had to use a toothpick to make them larger to fit my ytrucks screws. 6/10

Performance: Thank god this deck isn't hopeless. The performance was great! There was so much pop and everytime you popped a trick, you can hear a high pitched snap! I did my nollie tre's a bit better with this deck and I liked how the 33 MM wide felt, but the lack of length threw my off. Also, you can get caught up in slides on rails, because the wood might chip and interrupt the grind. 8/10

Overall: Overall this deck was a big dissapointment but it wasn't terrible. The medium kicks, medium concave was really nice. The only thing I would fix it the length, the roundings, and I believe she should change into a different veneer or laquer more as I've seen this on other people's TP decks that the wood starts coming off. 7.5/10

decks don't have to be long, YWs are some of the longer decks out there - a lot of people like short decks! I'm not saying you're wrong to dislike it as that's preference, but saying all decks should be 100 or longer isn't right either

otherwise nice review, shame the quality wasn't great on the deck.

Yeah man, the length just wasn't my preference, I know other people like short decks(:
This review would have been totally different if it had more laquer, or the veneer was different. Thanks for the feedback Kerry!
