| Title. I got a cnc mold and wanted to know if you guys would use a mold that has its wheel base spread out more than usual. It may be 102mm im trying to make it look kinda boxy in a way so that it is 100 mm
How do you feel about this.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area. |

| 2mm longer than bw doesn't give much room to change the wheelbase, unless the kicks are really short.. So, I'd have to see pictures to make an informed decision. |

| i dont really get what your saying?.....i would say stick to the tried and tested, most decks ive come across have a wheel base around a bw09, which is the same as a tech deck etc,etc....but some companys make the kicks longer and it makes the boards top heavy and not feel right......a longer wheelbase would be something like a g12.....theres not much in it really, but it makes a hellofa difference to performance...........if your pressing a deck and just sticking a wheelbase on it, id say youve gotta be real lucky for it to work out......the best decks need experimenting with wheelbases,kick lenths,decklenths etc........ just mold a bw09 and stick to the wheelbase, id buy them naaa, honestly you cant do that... |

I just trace onto it, holding it as still as possible. It works =] |
