yeah but i mean when you take a piece of tube and hit it with impact it will bend but when you drill holes in it , it will have a tendancy to shatter or break instead of bending.
i mean i guess his idea sounds okay but i mean companies build things on purpose that way and they are made to be like that.
i know my logic is confusing but i have had many years in mountainbiking and working in a bikeshop and milling parts. i mean if the scooters were made to have holes they would have holes in them, simple as that.
just dont do it, dont be that guy that drills holes and then calls the company up 17 times because their deck broke on them.
just my 2c

Like I said, you gotta be careful what you do. And definitely do not do it if you are planning on breaking a deck and getting it warrantied haha

all the ones i have done only one snapped and that was because it was an extreme, it tryed to snap in about 5 or 6 spots and gave way after 4 months with a tiny bend and i got another extreme and left it no holes and it bent first day. all my other mgps lasted untill i got a new deck (~6 months) or my first nitro which is still rideable but bent as i tryed to snap it but i snapped 2 pairs of forks trying. the reason it isnt common place is because scooters arent really advanced when it comes to structural integrity, most are simply a tube with a headtube welded on then welded through the deck. decks like districts and addicts are well thought after and are light as hell anyway so dont need them although i am experimenting with it on my district since my bars flex wayy more than the deck. our sport is slowly moving forward with key elements like is seen in bmx and alot of crazy stuff will come since there is alot of ways to make a scooter.
My point: holes arent on them yet as no one is too fussed about perfection in mass production to keep costs down but im working on it as you may see in the future.
