I was been happily riding a Globe Maiden deck until I noticed my ride getting a little sloppy in the back. It turns out the deck started to split in the back likely due to the tremendously bad roads in DC. If you’re a new builder looking for an urban commuting deck, steer clear of a flush mount.
I think a OMFG!!! is justified here.
Nowadays posts that contain neither fire nor broken limbs don’t justify “OMFG” anymore.
I don’t think flush mounts are necessarily a problem, but…
WTF is that deck made out of?
The deck cross section looks like a mdf board 
, guess they are skimping on materials.
ain’t no maple near there
Ha, yeah… when I bought it, I thought it said 9-ply maple. I just looked again and it says, 9-ply maple resin. 
So, perhaps the lesson here is to pay attention to what your deck is made out of.
def.! that type of deck could have split at any time esp. being used as an eBoard!
lol where are the 9 ply^^ mdf looks even better than that.
Looks like some thin slices of wood mixed with peanut butter
Yeah, the peanut butter makes for a smooth ride. Can’t use crunchy though. It’s the worst.
my first longboard was also maple 9 ply for 75€ and last week i modified it with my dremel…turns out that it actually was maple plies, explains why it was stiff as a rock but great controll
