Looking at this for a next deck
haven't snapped or broken any decks
how well is it for grinds, whips, manuals, finger whips
and just asking for opinions and how it feels

the grind dropouts are really thin, so if you ride waxed metal ledges then its fine but if street with some harder ones then that may be a problem with wearing down

i havent ridden one too much, but when i tried riding my friends 20" it felt pretty weird for whips to me

but they seem pretty nice

My 20.5 just came in the mail yesterday. I need to get a spacer so I can keep running my legacy's though. Compared to my Hep thresh, it's about the same wheel base but less foot space.

not as good for grinds as say a thresh, but its really nice for whips. i basically lost fingerwhips when i rode a thresh, but i picked them back up when i switched to a flavor. and this deck flows so well, kinda like an addict. i love it.

I like mine although, what alex said, the dropouts are really thin, so i would reinforce it with some metal strips somehow. Im gonna try this. they feel really good for whips and have a good weight balance. The flexy is also nice and strong other than the ethic brakes.

i dunno, just didnt like the way they whipped. it was too fast and responsive for me, but i guess thats how everything is cause im really used to big tsi decks.

sweet, i rode a flavor for 3-4 weeks and i kept disliking it more and more. ethics/addicts are a lot nicer in my opinion, flavors are just another design kevin came up with in 15 minutes for flavor. apparently he even deliberately made them with a flaw so that they wouldn't be as good as ethics.

hahaha no way the only thing i dont like about ethics is the concave it makes it perfect for heelwhips but not for tailwhips, addicts werent the best for rails either, i was wondering if i should get one but not anymore

i can only think of the dropouts or so wearing out cause theyre really thin, but idk if ones actually been snapped or broken in any way

but no like genuine snap?

dafuq theyve figured like the best deck design, would be the best ever if they made the deck a bit thicker so it doesnt grind through as quick like in the dropouts tho

I love my flavor, had it for 5 months now but at the bottom of the headtube it cracked, still going strong though. Probably the best deck ive ridden. Although like stated before, the dropouts will bend with excessive ledge dancing ;)
