District V2 deck

[9cdmc]

Is this a good deck for a beginner/intermediate? im 5'3 and 102lb and wondering if its worth the money, because i heard they dont last long and break easy. What are your guys thoughts on it? or what would you recomend? thanks

yeah the v2 is really meant for smaller riders, it even says under 90 pounds. It really depends on your riding style though, meaning whether you're into tech where you don't do anything big, or if you like big park or big street. My friend has one, he's only 85 pounds and the biggest thing he did on it was a 5 stair. It's already cracked at the dropouts and at the headtube. I would say get the v2i. They're much stronger and only like 30 dollars more expensive. So overall the v2, no, it's not worth the money and yes, it will break relatively easily.

V2i deck is a good deck.
Not so sure about v2.

k thanks guys, does the v2i's longer length affect anything, and anyone here have experience with it

it's like pro model length. It feels strange at first but you quickly adapt to it. If you do like shorter decks though, you can cut the back of the dropouts to make the length shorter. It feels really nice under your feet, and it's really strong. None have broken I recall but a few have bananad because of the length.
