the tdi system is great, but there is already an interchangeable headtube system that 2, maybe 3 companies have already taken advantage of
and, the decks are way too long

good point, they should be like 10 inches long and 50 wide.

if u think about it, the length of the deck includes the headtube attached to the deck, so the deck is longer but the foot room is probably the same as most other decks, u just have more room in the front end like how tsi has a longer front end then a pro but about the same foot room as one. and imo its a much better design then just to have the front wheel super close to the deck and just making the actual foot space longer. AND lastly just like bars, decks will naturally get bigger to fit bigger people, its bound to happen.

I understand what you're trying to say, but the deck length is the actual length of the deck, not the wheelbase. The wheelbase on the 20" is about the same as on a TSI. Have the front wheel super close sucks for nose blunts too and is the main reason we didn't put it close to the deck.

I would love to try the deck out, If you think about it.. The price isn't very bad at all.. I mean as he said the deck would be around 70 and I can almost guarantee the headtube isn't ever going to have any defaults so in the long run its a great deal.

Wow. 70 for a deck, 180 for a headtube? Cut out all the unnecessary engraving and cutouts and shit and just make a normal headtube, is it really that hard?
