Motive custom ply deck review

MOTIVE CUSTOM PLY DECK REVIEW

Shipping: The shipping was good. It took 6 days from massachusetts to Wisconsin, Which is about standard from ordering from a coastal state. It arrived in the standard bubblemailer, as usual.

First Impressions: I'd seen my deck in a few pictures that Colin (the owner) had sent me. He had said that the pictures really don't do justice. He wasn't kidding; I almost screamed when I opened the package. It was seriously one of the shinest decks i've ever seen. I also, because it is a custom ply deck, loved the combo i picked which was: blue, green, yellow, red, yellow. I was bouning with happiness.

Craftmanship: Colin really knows what he's doing with deck making. The deck is perfect. The decks are cut with a CNC machine so the deck is perfectly even. One thing is that the tips are kinda flat but not that bad of a deal. The holes are perfect too, except that one of the kingpin holes was badly off, but he probabley had to do that on his own because he doesn't usally make them with kingpins (asked for). The Shape is pretty even, it consists of medium kicks, low concave, and sorta define dips. The deck is very strong and is not warped. Like I said before, the laquer is amazing and the plys are dyed perfect and do not lack color in any areas.

Performance: The two other "popular" decks I've tried are woodlands and holywoods. This decks reigns high with them. the pop is amazing. I'm pretty constistant too. I feal like I have alot of control with this deck. i catch my trick so smootly that I can just continue on into another.

Overall:

Pros:
