| Hey what's up family? It's been awhile since I've been around but I've been itching to make some decks. I finally have time to pursue fingerboarding since I got a better job. I make way better money and I only work 3 long days a week. So I have 4 days off to do whatever I want and I want to get back to making sick decks once again. When I left...Redemption's decks were the best quality that they'd ever been. I'd like to continue that with new veneers and vibrant colours.
The last thing I did was make 32X100 Mellows and Mediums. I'm thinking with the way the scene's going you are going to want 33 or 34 X 98 or 99. I'm thinking about making a 33.5X99? Would you guys be interested in that? |

| 99 is still considered a bit long nowadays. average decks are 33x97 i think that would be the best size!

| I had a 31mm Agape Mold from back in the day and that's definitely one of the best decks I've ever used.
Glad you're back! |

| 33mm to 34mm wide and 96mm to 98mm long is what feels best so far for me. |

| 33.5mm x 100mm with even length kicks is my personal preference I can't do boards shorter than 98mm and less than 32.5mm wide - Jono |

| I can't get used to decks shorter than 98mm. I'd say 33x99mm is my current preference. |

Thanks for the input and keep it coming, I'll probably get something in the works in the next couple weeks. |

| 33-33.5 x 100 is good, I like long boards, flip better for some reason. I feel like when decks are too short they are less controlled in the air. |

| I prefer slimmer decks such as 30-31X99. But my hands have grown a lot since since I started bodybuilding. I'm excited, just finished up work and now I have 4 days to tinker around with fingerboard stuff!
