    pagan and loki are NOT symmetrical. and there's different sizes for different sized people or just different tastes/preferences. VARIETY IS NEVER A BAD THING. NEVER!!!

    I totally agree! Having different sized models is so awesome. They fulfill so many different needs a preferences. A few inches can make such a difference in the ride.

    Agreed. When my pagan came in I realized it was just a tad too big for me. Then I got the loki and it was perfect for me. Mini fsm should be a lot of fun.

    You still got it and don't want it maybe? The pagan size, width and concave is probably my favorite feel and I've been thinking about squirreling another deck away so I'm never without one. Maybe a swap-ex?

    Pagan question: How come some of the drops look like they were started as flush mounts with the wheel wells (I've seen a few around) but the drop on Comet's site now and the one I have do not have those wheel wells?

    .. the flushcuts don't have wheelwells
    maybe the are adding wheelwells to current dropthru models, because the wheels are closer on the dropthru decks, or people could have done it themselves?

    By golly you're right.

    Well there's definitely one out there with the wheel wells like on the FSM and I could of sworn I seen others but maybe not. Maybe it was goof in the production line.

    ^ ^ thanks for the confirmation Kenster. I didn't think I'd lost all my marbles yet. I love me some Pagan/FSM too but the shop still runs a little loose.

    If it is Version 2 then you should be fine with the randals.

    Would I have the same problem with the flushmount??

    I was thinking of asking for this:



    Good or bad idea?
