I know its been done already but here is my review of the District v2 integrated.
Opening:
The first thing I noticed as I opened the box was the graphics. They are very well done and look great. I've ridden it for two weeks now and the graphic are still in great condition. I also noticed how light it was. I quickly installed my headset (FSA impact), which was very easy compared to normal headsets since it is integrated.
Riding:
The first and biggest thing about the deck was the length it is far longer then any other deck I have ridden. As a flat rider it took a little bit to adapt to. I'm a kinda bigger guy( 6foot, 180 pounds, and size 12 shoe) And the foot room felt pretty good at first until i noticed it affected my whips. The longer deck takes a lot more effort then I was used to. Double whips were harder compared to my Phoenix 4.5. I also felt if the deck was maybe 4.5-4.75 wide is would feel better. The deck is far to narrow for how long it is. As most districts are this deck is pretty good for grinds. It performed well on boxes, sliding fast as well as rails. I put pegs on the deck and realized how wide the back of the deck is. A peg almost isn't necessary. i got pegless 50-50s as well as ice picks without a peg. Taking it to the bowl next. It flowed well and the foot space was nice for airs and deck taps and noseblunts. One again i wish it was a little wider as it would perform that much better.
Overall:
pros:
lighter then most decks
integrated is very nice
Length is nice for airs
Brake system is very easy to set-up/dial
Decent for grinds
Feels Stronger
Headtube seems beefyer
Cons:
Length for flat riding as well as street.
Way too narrow for the length.
If you put a peg on it scrapes a lot easier.
If you are a flowy bowl type rider who likes a longer deck then this is a pretty good deck. I would recommend a TSI over this as it is wider. If you ride flat and street i would recommend a normal distirct v2 or even a ultra pro. Not a bad deck i just wish district would change the length and/or width.
7/10
Thanks for reading this review it took a little bit to write.
I also included it in the "My Review" thread.
