What Do You Like To See In An (Extruded) Deck?

good for whips like a rup. im not a whip only kid i can assure you but its nice to have a deck like that for flat. i run an ibeam currently and the deck isnt that good for whipping (i can still dub whip up curbs etc...)


holes in the top plate as it is better str:weight ratio then as top plate adds little strength, although not too big holes obviously. and possibly a deck WIDER at the bottom than top, dream grinding.... and it could have a triangle shaped extrusion then adding strength

I've always thought of that.

district made a perfect deck. if only they made it beefier, the bottom wears out way too quickly and it needs thicker dropouts, i literally snap those things off like pieces of plastic

fully boxed, integrated, square front dropouts and back dropouts. integrated washers for the back wheel in the deck. neck welded through? maybe. the squared back dropouts probably wouldn't be any good for maintenance but oh well.

district has literally laid down the perfect design for a deck in my eyes and TSI just upgraded it strength-and-weight-wise with the Threshold. if you can take those two decks and make something even better then i will for sure buy it.

the square boxed sides on the Threshold don't do anything bad to your hands for fingerwhips either, at least since I've started doing them they haven't.

bumping this as what disadvantage is there of a slightly wider bottom, not any worse for fingerwhips if there is no "lip" just a slightly different hand angle when throwing the whip and way better grinding plus that triangle structure for better str:weight. also DO NOT WELD THROUGH BOTTOM, that is bad. weld on to bottom like with a scissor joint or something not a huge gaping hole in the deck, its a clear strength problem for str:weight ratio.

also have a gap in the middle like the threshhold with rounded inside edges to avoid catching but to allow that flex taking out impact and adding longlivety. but dont speed hole the bit which is top sheet only as that, i think(not 100% on this bit) that it acts a little as the bottom for the other bits of deck as it is the lowest part of metal in that part of the deck and the deck could get messed if that middle bit was barley existant because of speed holes in that area and it split in half down the middle. also that gap like in the threshold would also mean some sort of plate at the end to avoid that gaping hole in the deck.

i know this sounds complicated but try and think it through to understand what i mean

integrated, a normal(square) headtube. no cutout bull----- square front, at least 4.5 wide. boxed sides completely square like a district not like aos v2, integrated spacers, and good flexy

Making the deck wider at the bottom than at the top is ridiculous. Why not just make the whole thing wider? It is technically just taking an already wide deck, and making the footspace smaller.
Also, welding through the bottom is not bad. That's irrelevant. There are a lot more aspects of a deck that determine strength other than a hole in the bottom.

I wasn't asking you guys to try and structurally design a deck. We can take care of that.
The new extruded VertX deck will not be released until it has a higher strength to weight ratio than any deck on the market. There is going to be a great amount of time and brainpower put into this deck.

Like I said, I don't need people to try and design the deck. I just wanted to know what sort of ergonomic aspects to incorporate into the design.

Might seem silly but I honestly think having a deck compatible with deck rails would be so sick.

Integrated, No stupid looking head tube something simple and strong, Boxed/Semiround edges, Few different widths, lengths and ht angles, THICK RAILS I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, no stupid graphics maybe just a logo laser etched

I wouldn't mind graphics, but only on signatures. But the only graphics that ive like on a scooter are the addict ones.

dom since i saw the pheonix standard i always wanted to instead of having sides that stick out or sides that are square like the reventon, like actually round sides like the tip of your thumb, to me it would seem like that would never catch when grinding anything since theres no lips its just rounded and i know that would have the best feel for fingerwhips, but i actually think now putting more thought into it alot of the strenght in a reventon comes from the outer beams since they run straight up and not sideways and a round shape might not be the strongest design for the edges.. but idk i always thought that would be a big improvment in decks

You mean like the sides on the AOSV2?
