FSA pig DH PRO headset:
PROS:
-amazingly smooth, as soon as i got it in, it spun like butter
-Super strong
-Never once had a problem with it, I had it for 6 months and would still be riding it if i hadnt switched to integrated.
-Sealed bearings, super low to no maintenance.
-Super beefy

CONS:
-Heavy for some people, weighs half a pound i think. I didnt notice it much
-Crown race is a little hard to get on, but nbd
-Oversized bottom cup, might not fit into every deck (NOT SURE, but its a possibility, I didnt have that problem)
-Expensive in some places

Over all:
I would DEFINATELY x100 recommend this headset to anyone with a standard headtube. Well worth the money, will last you ages with hardly any maintenance. I still have one in near perfect condition in my basement, keeping it in case i happen to get a razor deck as a spare.



Zero gravity spider deck
PROS:
-Looks really clean, original design
-tailwhips feel really balanced and controlled
-very stable, and a great weight and headtube angle for bowl/park riding.
-not very many weak spots because there is no welds
-integrated headtube
- there is sort of a pocket at the dropouts, great place for grabbing, perfect for toboggans, supermans
-grinds really smooth, just a TINY bit awkward at first because of the curved bottom, but you get used to it really quick. It actually does make grind to whips easier.

CONS:
-Some might not appreciate the 82.5* headtube
-hard to get the back axle in, had to use a mallet.
-A little bit of a hassle to get the back wheel in, you have to make sure the bearings are in aaaaaallllllllllllllllllllll the way.
-A bit hard to clean the bottom
-For actual riding/stregnth, no complaints. I have to say it is the best deck I've ever ridden.

Over all:
I would recommend this to anyone who rides alot of tranny and park, especially if you like bowls. Very stable, nice and fast tailwhips, and you feel safe on it. Not the best for flatground IMO. If you have a flowy style, this is the deck for you.
Well worth the money, even if it is a bit of an investment, the deck and headtube are interchangeable so in the long run it will save you money on broken decks or headtubes.
And if the bolt connecting them breaks, well, its just a bolt hahah :p
