WIDE DECKS, 5.25, 5.5, 5.75, 6, esc. plus trick names

to start, im monty, and i think we should have some wider decks for those of us like myself with some big feet(size 14) rip tiny decks. we need a company to make some wider decks, for the comfort of my feet, somebody get on this, an idea im having tho is that its gonna be heavy as all hell, so we should do something like tsi does with the center cutout, and thinner, like the paramount. if any ones with me lemme know.

If we are going to start making boxed deck that are larger than 5" then we are really going to need to make 125mm wheels more commen because 110s with a 5.5" would scrape all over the place while turning

ik i thought about this, it would be awkward. we just need some wider decks, and btw is there a name for scooter fakie smiths, because if not then we can name it beef stew

ay dude u got a close shoe size to me so ik what the struggle is like but proto is coming out with 22 23 and 24 long decks that are 5 wide. Also instead of making them run on 125s we can make the decks thinner like the tsi parapount

that does sound nice, but idk, i like the idea of like a 5.25 or 5.5 by 23 1/2 long

I see way more 5 wide now. But I heard something about Aztek coming out with a ginormous deck. But, yeah, since I do a lot of downhill and transition skating, both disciplines where wider decks are generally used, so I really want a 5.25 Ethic Pandemonium type deck.

yes yes yes yes, i like that look and if they cam out with a ethic/addict/paramount styled deck <3, im thinking like 5.25 wide, by 23 long paramount deck(base) using an addict/ethic-esque headtube using tdi and the center cutout thing ,this would be the sickist goddamn thing ever. seriously we should get as many as people as possible to get on it and make it happen

I know a little something about a new Ethic deck
Edit: I know that the Phoenix Stan Smirnoff Reventions came 5.25. Maybe you can find one somewhere.

one thing you could do is get footprint insoles if you get sore feet. I have size 12-13 US I think and I can ride a 4 wide with no problem. normally I ride 4.5 wide but I'm currently riding a RUP deck until I get some more integrated headset bearings (RUP decks are sooo small )

 

[Montgomery jensen]

um...no, i bet money you heel or toe touch every trick
