great deck for push

well at 1st i was using full pairs trucks end up cant carve or turn at all, then changed to randal 42baseplate, and start to carving little mroe than before, but the screws keep bitting on the hanger.



just 4days ago i decide to redrill the screw hole to old school pattern 2 1/2 inch. the screw and nuts never touch the hanger anymore and i could carve alot more, seems now it turns like a normal longboard.

i wish i could done it earlier so that the screw didnt bit off almost 2mm of the hanger



no complain i love the deck right when i got it till now.



Definitely good for push around, i got soo used to this deck, when i ride my friends topmount it feels like a foot away from the ground cant push at all.
