because loads of you have been trying to get the perfect setups but cant afford NCD or BRT's or coloured trucks which cost heaps maby i can buy loads off ebay (coloured and normal) and sell them to uk fbers?

how does thats sound
pricing them at £4 shipped

Do you read what you post before posting? Or do you just type with your eyes closed?

id love to be able to type with my eyes closed but no.

i was just trying to help some people out

please explain to me how thats helping people out?

your just trying to make a quick buck by doubling your money and your obviously convinced you could have your own 'fb co' by selling trucks.

want my advice? fkn everyone does this. you'll waste your money and you wont get back what you invested, and you'll be left with 25 sets of trucks.

i dont think the uk fb scene needs 'paronage wide trucks co' for 4 quid a pop.....sorry

and it wont make you instantly 'cool' from having a co...although you will be able to sponsor yourself...lame as it seems.

if you want respect from the uk, do/make something thats unique, useful and creative, not just buying and selling something for double the money

damn Ross bury the hatchet! lol
he does make a great point. the uk already has folks doing that sort of thing on a much bigger scale.
not to mention the whole scene is full of wannabes making it hard enough
for most folks that put in time and dedication into there decks, trucks, etc.
attempting to make something to further advance fingerboarding or the scene.

i think if you really want to do something that will have an impact put a little more thought into it.

What everyone else said, and trust me there are plenty of places where you can get wide trucks, redwan, ff, fusion NCD etc.

sorry


im quite new to the sceene so i dont realy know whats going on


sorry guys

to make it more legit, paint em, shape em
i do think 4 quid is kinda steep

Yeah, there are loads of companies that already do this. I'm pretty sure the UK already have some. I don't see the point of this if someone could just buy them from a seller for much cheaper. For the price people charge for some trucks, someone could buy a whole bunch for the same price. I'm more accepting for more established fingerboard companies of doing this as they'd at least spend the profit by investing back into fingerboarding, improving their products with new manufacturing machines or materials and providing sponsors and events with free items.

If you want to be unique, I'd go with the shaping + painting route.

Here's an example.

yeah....ive been saying this for like a over a year now. what the uk/ worldwide scene could do with is some sick SHAPED wide trucks.

i think the newer 'style' of wide trucks are horrible. i much prefer the old 'block' shaped ones.

if you could devise a way of shaping them and even painting them with your own logo or similar that would get you respect and appreciated....also i think they would go down well. lots of people want decent shaped wides but hardly no one does it....in fact i dont think i know of anywhere i could buy some right now. uk based.

they ARE a good alternative to BRTs/ Ys also.

the best shaped wides that were, were TMGs shaped BLUEFLY trucks. but he's nowhere to be found these days.....luckily i got a set from him before he disapeared.......sick they are too

tbh saving up for brt's or y trucks doesn’t take long and they are worth it! theres already so many people just selling on wides. i would love to see someone take the wides and really craft them into something good.

imagine if you could get skate trucks for fb. id love some ventures or indys on my fingerboard haha

im alright it was a bad idea sorry

If you do it with sandpaper or something, it would probably take 40 minutes to do. I can't find it right now, but there's a video on how to shape trucks, the guy does it pretty fast, and the trucks come out good. It's just getting the tools for doing it, and getting the trucks.

I would actually want to try that, shaping and colouring trucks. But make them cool sounds liek a pretty fun thing to do! Actually I think I will try one now!

its a bad idea sorry

they use a mold???? they look like the new shaped, shapoed wides..if you understand.....

personally i dont like the shape of them.

You should really properly evaluate what is hating and what is not. We're just providing constructive criticism for this very common idea of reselling Chinese products.

YOU BIG STINKY POO POO HEAD.
