this is the best feeling deck ive ever ridden, and ive ridden every deck out except oxelo, blunt, and sz epic deck, by far my favorite, and my back wheels was not hard to get in at all. i love this deck, but you have to put something kind of thick under the brake to keep it solid, and its a really solid feeling deck and doesnt feel like it would break, i've only had mine sense christmas though and havent been able to ride much street so i would have even cracked it yet, i hate it for footjams though because the headtube is like fatter by the fork. i love the headtube angle and weight, so perfect for me, i love this deck for hang5s to, i can go soooooooooo long on them and dont even need my foot on the headtube, and you can do 5050 stalls and grinds and dont even need pegs, so if your a techy rider and want something light get this deck.
