Is the 50 50 grind going to work without pegs on this deck, you think?

It looks great but personally I don't like and I wouldn't get it for a few reasons
1. The curved sides to lock onto the coping seems pointless cause when you lock In to coping on your pegs that wouldn't even be touching the coping and if you locked on to that without pegs your suppose to be on the bottom of your deck not the edges and if your on the sides you'd probably slip out and no coping is the same so there's a 99% chance you wont lock in when you get on the coping that's if you dont slip out first
2. The concave on the bottom of the deck gives you less surface area to have on what your grinding and where it's completely rounded if you land on a rail just a little off center you will prob slip out
3. The way the downtube is shaped where on the top it's concaved and it connects to the deck it has two pointed edges which creates two major weak spots in your weld and joint.
Now I'm not sayin this to hate on TSI I had a freeflow for 5 months sold it to a friend who had it for 3 and he sold and I bet it still hasn't snapped cause that thing was indestructible but this one just doesn't seem like their beat work

It would be super easy to chop the rear end so it's not all square. I would definitely do that if I got one. I'm not too keen on the welded neck, I was really hoping for something bolt on. The base still looks kind of wack for grinds too with the rounded edge. Pretty Phoenix-esque (not saying the copied them, just the rounded edges on the bottom of the deck).

the down tube goes thru the deck its welded on the inside no more hole on the botom. ill post a picture next time i go to the welding, We did some testing today and it is verry stable in grinds on rails, but the sides of the deck dosn't catch the coping verry well. to be honest, for that idea to work we would have to go wider and i didnt want to go over 4.75
