I have been riding this deck for about three weeks now and this is my take on it.
PRO'S
The way the head tube rides the front of the deck it makes the 19" long extrusion to feel more like a 19.5.
Also, because it is an inch shorter in length and 4.25 in width it is pretty damn light.
If i where to determine the weight distribution it would be mostly like the front of a phoenix with the back of a freestlyer.
I like this because from my experience phoenixes where a little light in the back and the classic Tsi frame model's where a little heavy in the back.
So all in all its a pretty well balanced deck, the concave on it isn't quite 5 degrees because of how skinny the deck is but its probably around 4.
Witch personally i find a little more comfortable, doesnt feel like im standing on a bowl haha but still gives me the right grip and suction on my feet.
It whips great, almost as fast as an ultra pro would whip. Its finger whip friendly <333. It Locks in to grinds and stalls like its second nature.
And the drop outs are cut specifically so that a socket can fit in where the nut goes.
And most importantly its dialed as fuck!
CON'S
So ive noticed 50 50's aren't very friendly on this deck, luckily i dont do them very often. But if you happen to do them often you might want to invest in some pegs with this deck.
I have also noticed that it is pretty damn hard to get the spacers in,
they are super tight up against the frame but once you get them in its sooooo dialed!
If you have big feet this is deffinately not the deck for you, i would look into a flight 20.
Pegs work on it but don't feel the best.
Its not that bad but if your not very good at locking in peg tricks you might slip out once or twice.
So summed up
Pros:
colors
weight
feel
strength
grinds
stalls
finger whips
concave
Cons:
pegs (kinda)
50 50s
size
installation
