Ok, so I'm giving someone a hand with a deck basically I have come up with these points

  • Strong
  • Lightweight
  • Slides well
  • Looks good
Any others you guys can think of?

-Foot space

My Aos v2 sig is 1/2 inch shorter than the v2i, yet has almost a foot more foot space!! Feels a lot more balanced, which bring me to my second point

-Well balanced

Some decks feel funny. Get one that whips & feels good. A deck can weigh 5 pounds but if it feels good, & is balanced ill ride it. A deck can also weigh 3 pounds but if it's unbalanced, I won't ride it.

Box sides, flat bottom is a must.
