At first glance:
Wow, 32 vs. 33mm is a big difference. This deck is big. The bottom ply is a nice jade/aqua color with a few dark blue dots on it. The lacquer seems slightly uneven in some parts, but it doesn’t affect the performance of the deck. The deck was packaged in a bubblewrap envelope along with its own OG packaging.


Shape/Crafstmanship:
As mentioned before, this deck is pretty big. Here are the specs from the OG topic:

I ordered a 33mm from Gunner. The specs are all the same except for the deck width which was intentional. The nose is also noticeably smaller than the tail. Here’s a picture of it next to my G13 32mm:

The truck holes are perfect. They line up straight and I had no trouble at all putting on the deck.

Performance and Feel:
The deck is a lot lighter than I expected. It took a bit to get used to, but after about 30 minutes, I was landing tricks almost as consistently as before. I can get into flip + grinds much more easily than with my previous decks too.
My only issue with this deck is the nose. You have to pop it harder than the tail to achieve a similar height. This makes flip tricks difficult at times, especially heelflips. I expected this, but I’ve always preferred symmetrical decks.
The OG’s pop, however, is great. After about 30 minutes, I could kickflip consistently over a Pringles can. My frontside flips are much more consistent than on previous decks as well.
The lacquer is also good. The deck slides smoothly on all of my rail/ledge obstacles.
I’ve only had three decks up to this point so keep that in mind when reading my review. Because of this, I’ve decided not to use number/10 ratings until I get more experience with more decks. Here’s a video I filmed after putting on the deck:



So... If you like light, thin decks with a lot of pop, I’d recommend picking up one of these.
Also, I'll be doing another deck review in the near future!
