Voodoo 13: It's just how (pro)riders are trending.. Most old school decks were generally fatter in the nose and thinner at the tail.. Now the nose and tail look nearly the same.. unless they're cruisers then they're more of a bullet shape..It's just what's popular -now-. The old school shapes are making a comeback though.. see Santa Cruz or Creature.

Instructions on how to make popsicle stick bridges?

Use a truss design. Remember to use lots of triangles as they are the strongest geometrical shape, and also, if you are just testing only the strongest Popsicle stick bridge, use many reinforced Popsicle sticks (two or more popsicle sticks laid on-top of each other).

When you make joints with your popsicle sticks, make it look something like this: --------_______-------- <stick layout keep that pattern consistent, with out laying them in a stair type pattern. Think of those small sturdy bridges with wide, geometrical beams.
