well my aws deck got razor tailed like **** so i go a flier out and started flying down the tails and nose. so yea thats all good. but now the lengths are different. like the tail length is about 8 cm and the nose is like 11 cm. is it meant to be like that? cause im a bit confused and a bit devastated and i dont wanna fork out another 100$ for a new deck until i reach legal working age.

well since you razor tailed it, it makes sense that it's shorter now. Just try skating with it and if it doesn't work out then I guess you should get a new deck.

WTF though? $100 for a deck? Unless you live in Australia then I guess. But I'm not even sure what the USD to Aussie Dollar ratio is, so I dunno.

dude good guess...but yeah it should probably be short because your tails probly more razord then your nose so logically your nose would be longer

The tail is normally shorter than the nose, don't worry.

The tail is supposed to be smaller than the nose. If you run out of pop on your tail you can always replace it with the nose of your board.

yeah dude most of the time, even with new skate decks, the tail and nose are different sizes.

with my blind eternal life its made to where the tail is shorter than the nose but i guess thats the way james craig wanted his board i heard that the other pro models of eternal life dont have a big difference but there still is a difference for every board between the length of the nose and tail

You could just not razor tail and drag it everywhere, that just ruins the point of you giving dedication to it. Tail is smaller than the nose on some decks, but some companies make the tail and nose the same size, so be sure to look out for that.
