THIS DECK HAS BEEN SOLD
Roe Unlimited Widetail 3/4" flex version: $120 plus shipping.
This was my second Roe deck that I got from Gareth because the first was as stiff as a log that I had to return to him. Brian Parsons ended up with that Bottle Rocket.
But I feel that this deck, not even near as stiff as the first one, is also too stiff for my 165+lbs. If it was the right flex for my weight I would love to keep this deck, but it is not. I feel that it is a deck that someone 200lbs+ should get.
It was ridden over a 3 month period, but not too much because I knew it was too stiff, I had a Fibreflex that I was also riding mostly at the time, and I got an ICK right after I got this one This Roe has been retired since I got the ICKs.
This Roe has a nose ding from a very slow and direct curb hit on my street. It is dented on the nose about 1/4" only. Very minor.
There are also some very light scrathes on the bottom carbon from my knee or elbow pads laying on it during a drive home from an sss practice session at The Path. About a 30 minute drive but it got these hairline scratches that just really show way more than they should on the black carbon. The Grip Tape has also been removed.
If you can get past the minor cosmetic imperfections this deck would be perfect for a heavier rider seeking a high performance 3/4" camber foam core deck that structurally in great shape. It could also be drilled out or in a bit more in the nose and tail to increase or decrease flex. But in my comparing it to decks that Richy Carrasco rides and he weights 230+, this is a stiff deck and comparable to his, and either way if you drilled it more it is still for a heavier rider.[/img]
