So i completely snapped my old A deck a few months ago. i thought it would be nice if i could fix it cuz its impossible to find old As around here. i just drilled 2 holes and put a bolt on each side. it worked!! its completely solid, just like it used to be. i still ride my new pro most of the time as im fair used to it now but its a good backup scooter. i suggest if u ride an old A at the moment u do this NOW if u dont want it braking.
