In search of a Wide longdeck.

I'm looking for a deck with really good snap, large wheel cutouts, and sized around 48x11. Ideally it would have a subtle concave and a bit of camber. Anyone know of such a deck?

I from yuppie mecca of the U.S.A, Bend Oregon. I was wondering if there was any
type of organization around this region that involves downhilling.
The place has opportunity, but lacks investment.

I'm wondering if anybody still rides POWELL CUBICS for down-
hill cruising??I remember seeing guys in old Action Now Mags
cruising with the PURPLE ones, well at least I think they
were POWELL! If they made them again I would purchase a
set.
What about BIG OJ'S? They were fast Too.. OJ wheels broke
some speed record.

There are lots of different types of wood that can be used in making a deck. A few that are really nice are; osage orange, a very yellow (in color) hardwood, that has excellent flex, density, and durability. Also, ash is an all around strong hardwood. If your choice is plywood, try 5/8 or 3/4 Baltic Birch.

OLD GROWTH SKATEBOARDS are a new company crafting custom
longboards. Believe me! these are not conversation pieces.
Each deck is made-to-order and should be skated hard with.
3 unique shapes to choose from.

To all of you who made it out to the NCDSA ride in Hercules
on the 19th, it was great to meet you guys and have a chance
to skate with you. To anyone who didn't make it, you missed
a great time. I can't wait for the next meet so we can do
it again. If anyone ever wants to get together for an
impromptu ride some weekend (or after work), I'm always up
for it. Hope to see everyone out there cruzin' again soon!
