ok. so i was making this as a prototype for future decks i might make for sale. i dont think this deck is all that great though. it was made totally of scraps laying around. the deck cover thing part you stand on is sheetmetal that had paint on it and welded like shit! but the rest is 4130 tubing and some steel flatstock. its surprisingly light. maybe less than carys bullet. but i dont think it will hold up that great. or maybe it will be strong i dont know.

oh and its ment to feel just like an old A but a bit longer. and since the thickness of the whole deck is like 3/4" it is also higher off the ground than an old A but the top part you stand on is at the same level. if that makes sence.

Looks pretty sweet, doesn't look like it'd feel that much different than an old A, pretty sweet. You'll have to tell us about its durability.

What Phil said, must have been hard to make. Looks like you did a pretty good job at it, keep up the good work, I hope to purchase one from you someday.

YESS!!

as he said its only a prototype so there will be many changes, as long as Cory has started to make them its all good, but it will be a long time before he will sell them thats for sure..

but great work Cory and hopefully in near future you'll be selling the strongest scooter decks ever

looks like a good idea though, if you like old as and you want strength itll be worth buying it even if it is expensive though however dropouts look a bit sketch. In no means criticising thogh as that is some real hard work and it looks like the finshed product was worth it

cary, welding is not strong at the back. My dad said it will twist (then break of course) The front part is really good though!
nice job, just try to change the back

stann you dont. im not selling. i just had a bunch of stuff layin around and decided to make a deck with it to see if itd be any good. i just wanted to show off the design. but i really doubt i would make them and sell them. and yeah im not too sure with the backend. the actual draops are good but the part were the tubing connects with the flatstock is a bit shady. if i were to make another i would use 7/8 .065 wall tubing i think. and the deck cover thingy was some sheetmetal that i had and it had paint and its thin and i dont like that part either.
