So first of all, these decks are handmade by Mikkel Soder in Denmark. They are sold at 13 dollars price, which is really cheap price for such a high quality decks as these! You can get these from Lovedrug's site here:

ShippingIt took about 3 days to get here from Denmark to Finland, which is really good. The deck came nicely wrapped in a bubble mailer.
10First impressionsI was really stoked about how nice the deck was looking! I really liked the black bottom ply and the plies were awesome. Especially for the price, I was really surprised.
10CraftsmanshipCraftsmanship was one of the things that I was probably the most stoked about. The deck is really well pressed on a cnc made metal mold, so the shape is really consistent through the dips and kicks. The holes are really nice, although the countersinks look a little bit messy, but you really can't see it because you put tape on the top so it isn't anything major and doesn't affect the performance any way. There isn't really any other negative things on the craftmanship to point of. Rounding is pretty nice all over the edges.
9.5PerformanceThis deck is probably one of the best I've tried ever performance wise. I bought this custom from Mikkel himself, so the deck's width is perfect for me, 28mm. The shape might look pretty hardcore if you're used to more mellow decks (just like I were), but it really isn't and it's really fun shape after you've gotten used to it. It took a while to get used to it though, like 30 minutes but after it, it was heavenly to use it. The kicks are pretty standardly rounded and pretty good for my liking. The deck is around 100-101mm long, it's pretty good length although I like more shorter decks because I get more control on them, but that's all about preference. Holes are all good and I was able to put my trucks on easily without any problems. Lacquer is nice, although my deck doesn't have much of it. After a couple weeks it's starting to get some scratches on the lacquer, but that isn't a bad thing at all and gives the deck more personal look. Pop is pretty good too. Overall the performance of this deck is top notch.
9.5OverallOverall this deck is totally worth the price and performs and looks really good. Probably one of the cheapest decks in the market, but probably one of the most solid decks in the market too imo. Go support Lovedrug!
