| I got this deck from my friend at school. I set it up with Neoprene tape that I got off of Amazon (it wasn't meant to be used for fingerboards but who cares), Red Gator Wheels, and Black Tech Deck Wide Trucks Sorry for the quality of the picture. Had to use a modded Eyetoy as it was the only thing I had that had a fisheye to take pictures with. Shipping: N/A Doesn't count as I got it in person. First Impressions: 9/10 I actually wanted one of these as I liked the graphic and saw that it was 29-30 mm rather than 26mm. Performance: 8/10 Has alright pop for being plastic. Kicks are medium and the concave is medium. I actually like it better than my Gator Deck since it doesn't pop as high. Craftsmanship: 8/10 Its plastic and molded however, the holes are perfect and the graphic looks alright. Overall: 8.5 I recommend getting one of these as it comes with a nice graphic ( that will wear out with use) and it is wide. Also the price is amazing. For $3-4 you can get one of these wide boards with concave and a nice graphic. BTW this is my first review.

| ive got one and the pop is quite bad but apart from that the deck is alright and i use it outside, definetly not 9.5/10 IMO i would give it a 6 or 7/10 at max |

| this is not a bad review, but too give this a 9.5 out of 10 is a little high, I have one of these decks and its not 2 bad to mess about on but I think its only worth an average 5/10 an thats been generous, but for the price they are still definatly worth getting |

| Oh, now I remember. I got a tech deck wide in a board shop kit, and it came with a piece of foam tape. Not a single pack. My bad. |

| I was about to post this same exact review until i saw yours. I picked one up at target today as well, pretty pleased to finally find the newer wide styled boards at my local. The concave is a lot improved from regular tech decks, and i definitely like that it's a lot wider. It's kinda light so it's easy to overflip but i guess i just need to get used to it. Another great thing, the bushings seem to be improved, and the wide tech decks come with wide trucks! Even if you don't use the board the trucks are a good deal for 3 dollars, and these 3 dollar completes are really fun to play with for the money. I put on a piece of china tape, and it's not bad at all. The wheels are surprisingly a lot smoother as well. 9/10 for me, only thing i'd do next is maybe put better bushings, even the wheels aren't that bad. |
