well to answer all your questions
1. griptape is kinda hard cause of the concave, if you just throw it on there will be air bubbles where the concave starts but its not really a biggie.
2. the difference is that the deck plate has more concave and is tapered, it starts at 4.0 wide then in the middle 4.5 and at the back 5.0
3. because of the width at the back it makes catching tail whips, bri's, or anything where your feet leave the deck easier.
and because of the width at the back 50 50's are heeps easier
I catch front foot.
Changing a front wheel would be easier wouldn't it? lol
Hardest part would deff be lining the bars up with the fork so your front wheel is straight, thats a bitch that is.
Bout the deckplate:
I think it actually looks good, not sure why everyone thinks it looks bad
Does it feel like there is heaps of concave? I don't like to much of it
And lastly, do you think it feels weird riding a deck plate that gets narrower in the front? It would psych me out I reckon

well first off the concave isnt like ridiculous. when you step on youl feel it but its not like " wtf my foot is only touching the sides" XD
and yah i thought it was going to be weird but it acually makes tailwhips easier. i cant exactly explain it it just whips faster and catches better

I see where your coming from on the review, no offense, but you're a 100% TSI fanboy. Like you dont have to die over everything tsi makes. I dont think they should waste time over deck plates in varying shapes and colors or what not.
they should make more forks types and one piece bars.
seriously if you think that 3 degrees of concave will help u improve ur catches, ur retarded. no offense again. concave is useless on scooters. it only is useful on longboards and somewhat on skateboards.
(constructive criticism)

okay first you haven't tried the deck plate so you cant say anything about it,
it does make a difference so don't call me retarded when YOU haven't even tried it.
second im not the tsi fan boy, i used to love madd gear and thought they where best. but Ive grown to know tsi and love what they do for our sport,
i spend alot of my time there and help in the shop alot so i know what im talking about.
Ive ridden many decks such as various phoenixes, madd nitros, ambush, ultra pro, and lucky. so this is not just me sucking up its cold hard FACTS.
everyone who rode my scooter told me the first thing they noticed where tail whips caught easier so its not just my opinion. and that was one of the main ideas behind the concave was catching the deck.
and i donlt DIE over everything tsi makes, when i get products for them i made an agreement that i will make a review and review it honestly.
and the different shapes and sizes? you say they are wasting time? so a pro who has ridden only pro models wants a tsi but wait making a 4.0 deck plate is a waste of time psshh hes fucked.
the different sizes and shapes are all custom fit for different riding styles. they are not just for looks. the different deck plates are made so riders can have variety, and personalization in their scooter so it works best for them.
don't bother making any more remarks cause so far all i hear is a kid who maybe rides good and knows what he rides but is ignorant to the endless possibilities of the scooter
tsi thinks about the rider not the money.

come to oregon and you can ride mine
haha i wish im from australia thow
you're being too defensive, i didnt mean to offend you whatsoever
tsi is my favorite company too but i dont go saying that all their shit is the best.
of course companies can start adding random shit to scooters like wavy headtubes, but they dont cause its not about being different. its about making a product that works.
most serious riders probably think a shaped deck plate is retarded. just stick to rectangles, but concave is an ok idea.
personally idc what tsi does, but a nice thing would be one piece bars, maybe a new fork, and maybe even wheels eventually.

in my personal opinion. The concave "helping" you is all in your head. i rode a tsi 4.5 for a few months then switched to a ultra pro and find the ultra pro is way easier to whip and catch. and jacek is right about the deck plate, why spend so much time making dif styled deck plates? all u need is a 4,4.5, and 5.0 deck sizes. no wing plates that get bigger or any of that stuff.
I also think they should get a nice 1 piece bar and maybe a dif kind of fork or make offset options with the thom cats.

I had it when I still had my TSI. It was incredible. Sooooooooooooo grippy and the concave was insane. I have never caught double whips off of anything in my life and I was throwing effortless double whip catches into a bank (basically flat ground, it was a driveway/sidewalk bank thing) the first time I rode it.
