anyone else stoked to get their hands on one? i sure am! a few months ago i imagined mike making a deck exactly like that; shorter board, longer wheel base, same kick height, and wider too.. that seems like "thee" perfect deck imo. hopefully soon ill be able to order one very happy

what do you guys think?

seems pretty sick to me, although the shape looks unusually high in the picture on the site. maybe its just the angle. would love to try one, as the g14 was great imo.

i was talking on chat and we were pretty fixed on "how could mike make anything better than the current shape".

well i was also skeptical and it looks as though he came through with the g15.

id assume, though, that it has some bangin qualities shape/performance wise

The shape looks really high and i personally prefer more mellow to medium kicks. Of course, it may not really be like that (may just be the picture) and slapping on tape would make the kicks feel a little lower. I'm not going to buy one because I just bought a Level Up Fingerboard (which is awesome btw). I've only tried a G12, and I didn't like it because it was too wide and long (this was like 2012). I do like the fact that Mike made them shorter and took length from the wheelbase, and not the kicks!

amazing in my opinion , really like that shape, pretty wide and little high concave.
but,someone of you guys know how much long the deck is? it says long wheel base and shorter kicks,and obviously,shorter board, but never mentioned the long of the deck,maybe i'm confused, i don't know

So has anyone tried one of these yet? Thoughts? How does it feel compared to the G14?

i like it. the tail does feel a bit steep, but im using my lowest riding pair of trucks on it so the pop isnt as crazy. it's about as long as a berlinwood, so for me it's a comfortable length. the kicks are rounded differently, as in the tail is round and a bit boxy, while the nose is more narrow.. at least on mine it is. i cant really say how it compares to a g14 because I cant stand those decks.. but otherwise my g15 is one of my main setups now.

I actually just saw yours in the set up thread and that natural bottom ply would be my first choice haha. Less is more sometimes

it is nice, just not my thing. natural looking bottom plys are boring to me, i like some color.. but to each his own afro also i figured id rather laugh when i look at it than not like it as much, so i threw tourettes guy on that shizz lol

Does anyone know the exact length in MM of the new g15? I emailed flatface but all they told me was its shorter than a g14 but not an exact length specification i was looking for.
