They had to have been made in China.

make sure that you buys the ones on the bottom; they'll be pressed just that little bit extra.....that little bit makes ALL the difference on a $20 deck.

jonnyUTAH, msn me, also pressing boards is stupid, cutting them out of steele is the new black, with steel you get the wieght and you can round the edges, freaking scweet man, how do yo u k-flip again ??

I actually happen to know the people that made these, there was a rumor that these were initially pressed for Cassette a few years back. BUT I have no clue if there is any real truth to that rumor or not.

I have one of these decks in my garage somewhere that was left here a long time ago and I will say this about it, surprisingly the construction is really nice and they use a really good sealant on them because the deck that is here is about 3 years old and is still holding up pretty good considering what it is, however that deck has also never seen a rail from what I know.

It's not a bad buy for someone looking for a cheap flat deck. Although the rocker is kinda whack because its a continuous rocker and not a 3 stage like most skates.

I also remember these decks having the same plastic fins Cassette / LF used on their old decks.

But... it's $20 so you get what you pay for in the end.
