| This is my first review on here, so here it is. Pictures first: (Setup with BRT wides, FF wheels, and Rip Slim & Catchy.) My first impressions: I was a big fan of the bottom ply, which surprised me as I'm normally not a big fan of "natural" colored decks. The kicks looked a bit long, but I have huge fingers so for me it was a plus. The lacquer was beautifully shiny and the shape looked great, so I was very excited to try it. Statistics: - 32mm x 101mm - Low kicks, Low-medium concave -4 ply (I think) Craftsmanship: This deck is pretty much flawlessly made in my opinion. The kicks were perfectly rounded, the lacquer was shiny, evenly applied, and highly durable. The choice of plies was interesting. From top to bottom, they were maple, navy blue, maple, and I think the bottom is burl. Setup was effortless, as the deck was thin and the holes were perfect. Performance: I'll start off by saying I was hugely impressed with this deck. i took almost no time for me to get used to. I fell in love with the shape instantly. I got 5th place in a best trick contest not even 20 minutes after setting it up. If you have smaller hands I might not recommend it, as the deck and kicks are a bit long. However I'm sure with some getting used to, everyone could find this deck as enjoyable as I do. It's easy to control and tricks are very fun on it (especially backside heels!!). The only con I can possibly think of is that it could be the slightest bit more responsive, but that would most likely take away from the unique vibe of the deck. Overall: I personally think this deck is something everyone should try, especially at the price they're sold for! Brian does a great job with these decks. Overall I'd give it a 9.5/10 |

Thanks! I got it in a trade like 2 weeks ago, the guy I traded with had it for a few months and never used it. |

| That's an old deck I think I made it for an event in New Jersey months ago. The old molds were really long. The new ones are much better in size and quality thanks for the review, and im glad you enjoy the deck! |

| It was in brand-new condition when I got it, which was surprising. I personally like the old ones (although i've yet to try a new mold, maybe i'll get a custom soon) but the shorter decks will fit more people's preference. Thanks for making such awesome decks, keep up the great work! |
