| ok so this deck took a week to get ere which is decent i guess nicely packed etc . first impression was Wow this deck looked sooo good the botom ply was one of the best ive seen the laqure was so smooth and it looked all good 10/10
craftmanship on this deck is nice it had a nice ply combo and was well presented only problem was the deck didnt feel like wood or look like wood it looked like the deck was coverd in a plastic substance i don't know.
Performance on this deck was horrrrible now im not some random hater this deck resembles my old fourcorner HC mold alot same kicks same dips only diffrence was the deck rounding off was more boxy i dont know if thats a word or not. not impresed by the performance of this deck at all not at all.
also the pop was abit meh and it was flexible
to be honest this deck looks like a china brand no lie
overall 5.5/10 not my preference i wont recommend this deck to any one unless you want to throw away money. |

| lol, this is more amusing than politics!
I personally have never used a Northwood, but there shape does look a bit too extreme. Maybe they should work on a mellow mold? Peter you should pitch Jay that idea... |

I don't know if I will just yet, maybe after the collab with Kingpin trucks which is the 4th company to make their own trucks like brr and y trucks and no they don't look the same as brt's. If Melvin had his wn deck he would have a different opinion because who knows what Melvin could f done to the deck so I could care less of this review unless it had received the deck straight from Northwoods |

| I could see them performing like china decks but the quality seems very nice, if they were better performance I bet they'd do well Also Peter I'm half surprised to your response as you didn't freak out. |
