| I'm looking for a setup that is heavy. I like the lightness of my decks but I feel like I would be better off with a heavy setup. Do you guys have any suggestions? Suggestions can include anything from the wheels, trucks and the deck itself. To give you guys a perspective on how heavy my main setup is, it's a homewood M9 deck with propaganda trucks and bollie wheels.
Also, if anyone has tried/has owned a g12 complete, is it heavy?

| G12 completes aren't too heavy, the decks are longer than most though.
Redemption's tape is really thick so that could make any deck heavy.
I've not tried them but lots of people say Ytrucks X1 are heavy.
Metal wheels are heavy. |

| a 6 ply deck? Or a 7? easiest way to get weight. Ask a company that does customs, or get something like a yellowood a6 or p6. |

Nope. G12's are light. Want something heavy? Try Z-shred emerge.. That's the heaviest deck I tried so far. |

| I tried looking at their website but nothing opens up :S. I guess its a no for Z-shreds (by the way it wouldn't really bother me that its a "wanna be" brand, a fingerboard is a fingerboard).
Any other suggestions when it comes to heavy decks? |

| Found a solution:
7 ply deck from Ryan Marshment
Nollie wide chrome trucks
Nollie heavy metal wheels
Those wheels are very heavy and look like great quality from what I've seen.
Thanks for all your suggestions! |
