I am pretty sure the Threshold has a longer necktube than most decks, I know most of the old TSI decks do. I compared my v2i to a flight 20" deck and the wheelsbase was the same, so even though the base of the deck is a shorter length, from front wheel to back wheel is longer than most 20" decks.

Okay let me settle this the 20" deck is our short modle, The Hep Greg deck is 20.6. These are in production right now. on our next prodution run we will be comming out with a Long Deck 21 inches long. The Dan Holm.

I have been riding a long deck for three years I believe in long decks as the futer of scooters, but remember the longer the deck the heavier the "back weight" so its harder the whip.
so there is Three things I have done to TSI decks to ad more foot room
1: We weld our down tube to the front of the deck allowing more foot room than a deck that has a hole cut in it with the extrution sticking out past the front of the down tube. you lose length that way.
2:The down Tube has a Concave this allows for more foot room about 1/4 inch These two features ad 1/2 to the deck length, but wait there is more...
3: The down tube angle is more forward at 52deg this gives you a longer wheel base than a 60deg angle. this adds more room to the front for nose blunts and over crooks.
and brings the deck back futher.
so any way its not allways about just making the deck longer.

i must admit. every square inch of this deck has been designed to perfection

20.6 doesnt sound really long, but people need to start talking about the wheelbase length of a deck rather than the footplate length. footplate length has very little to do with how a deck feels to ride, i guess if you have massive feet you need the size, but wheelbase length is what changes the way it rides.
