shameless self promotion Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 http://www.theskateboardindustry.com/tsi/article.aspx?ID=263 Interesting article on blank decks. (hope its not a repost) Anyone have opinions...Personally I say fuck these guys, support your local shops. But whaterver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 they've been saying that shit for like 20 years. it's nothing new. blank decks haven't killed the industry yet and i doubt they ever will. that's like saying hanes is going to put ralph lauren out of business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutleone Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 mall brands? now i've heard everything. i always liked thunder trucks myself. thunders are the shit! but tensor are all the on the bottom of the scale along with phantoms yes mall, brands, its the shit that lil ass kids buy when they go to their local gay ass Zumiez and the dude that works there that probably doesnt even skate gives the kid bullshit gear. all the popular, expensive shit that sux.

sarcasm Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 i'll support whoever gives me a cheap deck, seeing as i go through decks on the more frequent side, i can't afford to keep buying pro decks all the time... i'm riding on royal trucks also, and they have been oh so good to me lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P DIDDY. Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 wow. either get a blank deck which is, often times just as sturdy or quit because of lack of funds to buy a new pro deck every other month. either way, they still get paid.\ or maybe i should just stop buying the trendy striped, fingerless gloves.

tutleone Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 i go thru decks in a month or less and its a pain to keep buyin shop decks, but i manage. its all about dedication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 we used to re-sell our decks after a couple weeks so that we could get a new one for cheaper. there's a store in melbourne you can put your used stuff in and if it sells the shop takes 10% and you take the rest. was a pretty good deal. you could leave your shit there, go back in a week and it would usually be sold. i get the feeling that sort of thing doesn't really happen here.

HAL Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I actually like blanks because I hate graphics. I've scraped off board graphics, then hit it with a coat of plain white paint. I like it that way. I'd happily buy boards from a real manufacturer, like Kayo or whatever, if i could get blanks or plain bottoms. i also like stained plys. I also don't like spending $50 on a deck. I used to go through 2-3 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abracadabra Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 now that koston and penny have left the team i'm not really that psyched on their vid. the mccrank part will be good, and maybe pj will stop making video parts that look exactly like every other video part out there (but i doubt it), but other than that it will be pretty ho-hum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
