| Shipping:
Shipping took 3 days, for both of the packages. We did two separate trades, on two different occasions. Same day sent, for both of them.
Package came in excellent condition, deck was professionally packaged (labeled, tape,etc)
Extra protection, so the deck didn't get damaged during shipping.
Performance:
The performance of this deck, is amazing. Honestly, quite the best deck I have tried in a long time, the nose is quite bigger than the tail, for skateboarding references. The lacquer, holes, rounding, and the stamp on the top, were perfect. There were no gaps, in the split ply. And the graphic deck, didn't have any mistakes either.
Overall:
Overall, I'm sure you all get this review, hence the pictures & the written text as well.
I have 2 Level Up Fingerboards in my collection, and I hope to add more in the near future.
What the owner is doing, is supporting the scene, aka "By fingerboarders, for fingerboarders"
He makes great products, for a reasonable price.
The customer service, is perfect.
And overall, I can see him doing great things with the scene!

| The shape seems a bit different. Kind of.....abrupt. But I guess if high kicks are your thing these would be something to try out. Cool stuff.

It is a bit different, from what I have tried. But it's sick, hands down! |

| Thanks for the review iSkate. It was fun making some custom decks for you as a trade before I officially launch. I'm glad you are enjoying your decks! |

| Nice
The concave seems more medium/high or just high/deep.. kicks are high.. but that's ok because few company's offer high kicks. |

| A lot of people have commented on the concave/kicks of my design so I will officially be changing the description to: Size: 31x99mm Kicks: High (longer nose than tail) Concave: Serious  I modeled the deck style after what I wanted to ride which no one else was really offering. |

I made two successful trades with him through FFI on custom decks. He emailed me recently asking if I wanted to buy any of his FB stuff because he was quitting (again?). I'm new, so I'm not too familiar with his background on these forums but I had no issues in my dealings with him. |

| My Level up decks is amazing!  Been looking for some "serious" concave and high kicks for a while now. Brings a new feel to a market of a lot of decks just being standard low kicks low concave. Id like to see more people experiment with deck shapes out there. Thanks Jason for making such a deck! ( That being said my countersunk holes were not align with my truck holes, but it didn't mess up the mounting screws so its all good. ) Just a minor defect but hey for $8!!!! amazing. Goo buy one!  |

| Thanks for the feedback Q4Quack. I'm glad you are enjoying your deck. Ive been using a flush bottom bit to countersink through the top ply without disrupting the other 4. While it makes for a nice 1/8" circle through to the 2nd ply, it has not been as precise as I would like for centering perfectly over the hole. I will be switching to a different method for the third release (2nd is already done and awaiting pictures). Like you said, there's been no mounting issues on my own decks or the ones shipped out so far. It just doesn't look as nice as it could |
