i did it to prove how strong they really are and i cant break it and i ride hard as i want now, no limits thanks to this deck. it is far better when you cut it so you have a razor pro wheelbase length.

quite funny how its makes it stronger, the addict deck is made to do the same thing. the deck flexes and disperses the energy from landing to spots in the deck that do not flex easily. i learnt how this works after breaking about 30+ decks and countless other parts and learning how energy disperses through aluminium differently to other metals and a hell of a lot of testing. it also improves weight balance (mostly getting rid of back end weight) to make it easier to control the deck and maximum control of body counter balance.

and it isnt all that light imo

also i never really like a single mgp i ever had, it stopped me from riding how i wanted to ride. anything i said positive about the deck i said was because they were my sponsor, its what you do for them

I'm pretty skeptical about the whole "drilling holes to increase the strength idea". And yes, i do know Billie knows his ----- but i still don't think those holes down the side of the deck would increase its strength.

the outside wall holds zero stress but rather than risking it breaking at the front, i stopped well before the start of the neck. the stress is mainly supported by the inner walls as they are connected with the neck and the second walls helps absorb landings and supports grinds as the rails are on the second walls

I knew that, but wouldn't the holes in the headtube create weak points? Or are the stress points farther down the headtube, out of the way of the holes?

they actually do nothing at all since they are so far away from the stress points which are where the ht connects to the neck and where the weld from the gusset ends, i could chop 1/2 of it out from the top but that would look retarded and it doesnt need to be any lighter at the front end
