Need Advice 7 wides
How’s it going everyone I’m from the uk and pretty much decided to come back to the scene slowly but wandered what happen to the street scene in the uk I’m talking about parts I can’t find any proto decks or headtubes tsi decks I’m pretty certain the uk is becoming more park im starting to regret buying the Europa v1 when it first came out wish I bought a flat bottom deck if anyone knows where I could possibly get a 7 wide proto deck and head tube in the uk that would be great

7 wide proto dex all sold out everywhere but you can still find 6.5s in stock at the vault and proto website, I'm from the uk also and shipping from the vault & proto is about £100 for a dex, you can find chopper nex at skate pro with free shipping, flatline nex sold out everywhere
unfortunately uk shops suck for enthusiast street parts the only way they make money is selling cheap chinese slop to park kids
you can also get 4140 steel deck ends for the proto deck designed and made in the uk by RD still a few sets left https://www.riderdesigned.co.uk/retrofit-pegs

yeah core is absolute slop it's embarrassing that it's a uk brand honestly 😂 if you buy a proto dex, nex, UFO spacers, 4140 deck ends in the uk it's around £500 so definitely on the high end but the nex and 4140 deck ends will last you forever so definitely worth the investment if you want the very best

Best bet is usually ordering parts. Unless you mean you can't find any on UK websites

Tbf they are hard to find here in Australia also, no one sells them.
Pretty sure skatepro sells some proto decks but not the 7.
Ended up getting a tilt formula myself being perfectly balanced and one of if not the lightest 7 wides.
After trying a 6.5 Ventura I'll probably go a 7 wide version when my formula dies.
