Locked.

I have never been bullying someone who has a 4 Corner fingerboard or anything like that.

Lol is this about our conversation?

Most of the people here think that even IF you have a BW, you still need to FB, if you fail in FBing even if you have a BW, then youre just meh

I think that most people on this forum respect the fact that some people don't want to spend lots of money on fingerboarding and we all share the same love for fingerboarding and that 'we fingerboard for fun'.

I have made my own deck, I use close up wides, nocomply bushings and random random tech deck wheels, never heard someone complaining on me lol

Kid you got it all wrong. No one here bullies someone because they can't afford a higher-end deck.

On the other hand, they were probably "bullying you" because you are using a deck that is mass produced in China, and that will be hurting the "scene."

4 Corner isnt made in China thats the point.

It is, Close up is also made in china

Yes they are. Ask around the forum if you don't believe me.

And the owner buys the mass produced decks from a place in China.

Dude's whats wrong with china.

Nothing is wrong with China itself, its just poor quality mass produced products that do nothing for the scene.

The money you pay for the product doesn't go to the fingerboard scene to improve the products and have events and such.
If you buy a china deck you only give money to some random guys in china who doesn't have anything to do with fingerboarding.

Whatabout Bollie Decks?

You can use whatever to your liking. I use to use 4corner decks my self. But some people may get upset that you're using a mass produced deck and not a company that "gives back" like lowpro or something. But as I said, use whatever you like.

If FBHQ still is as i know it, the thing you call "bullying" is people not praising your chinese made board.

There is no one who thinks you should spend loads of money on your setup, but on this forum we advice people to spend their money on companies that help out evolving fingerboarding.

4corner buys decks, trucks, wheels from a factory in china for very cheap and sell them for higher prices. 4corner is simply just a reseller.

The tradition in fingerboarding and skateboarding is made by fingerboarders/skaters for fingerboarders/skaters.

There is a lot of companies that offer decks of a lot higher quality than the chinese ones 4corner sells. And I'm not talking about Berlinwood. You can get great quality decks for same price or cheaper than you pay for a 4corner.

Oh well.

Ill ask my parents a bollie deck, for my birthday.

Such aaaas
Lovedrug!

1. Nobody has bullied anyone for owning china stuff. If someone feels that being told theyre setup is vachina and thinks it is bullying , they have thin skin i would hate to see theyre reaction to actual bullying.
2. Only companies that come on here saying theyre product are homemade and it is china stuff get made fun of because they are lying. When you have people like bryan, ross and, ryan using time money, effort, time, and supplies to make amazing decks it is like a slap in the face when companies like Skull fingerboards say theyre products are handmade. All china companies do is point, click, unbox, the try and put in a box with theyre company name on it or a little ink stamp on bottom ply(4cfb)
3. Not everyone use BW. Actually i know a handfull of people who wont buy a berlin wood new (me being one them). Preference is preference but for the same price as a 30 dollar "pro" china complete you could by sow wheels, pure, love drug, temple, karma , or og deck with some china.widesfrom nocomply (they come tuned) for the same price. If all you can find for cheap fingerboarding equipment is a china complete, you didnt look hard enough. If chinas yor thing keep buying them tere is nothing wrong with that but, you should experiment and look at other things too

Bollie is also China.
buy lovedrug or pure \m/

Basically what everyone else said.

4Cfb just buys decks for 30 cents a pop, and sells them to make hundreds of dollars. They don't put any time or effort into making them good. I guarantee you that.

They sell their decks for what, 15 dollars? At that price you could get a Zink, or OG deck, or if you wanna spend a bit more (17 dollars) A Temple or Pure.

We're not bullying you, we're just trying to make you realize that what you're using isn't helping the scene or making the real brands any more reputable/better.

Just try not to buy from the brands that say their stuff is the best for the price, those are usually Chinese. (except for Sow Distribution, that stuff is grade A quality sheeeiiiit.

i love my sheeeiiit from sow

but think this way reppy, if you were buying some skate shoes would you buy some walmarts for 30 bucks or would you pay allittle extra for emericas or lakais.

I've not been on this forum long but I've certainly never witnessed people being bullied (perhaps with the exception of Havok but he really brought it on himself).

Like a lot of people have said, buying from people who get stock from China is frowned upon as they are just mass produced in a factory full of underpaid and overworked staff. Whereas blosom or temple decks are made by fingerboarders and are all crafted beautifully by hand. These people sponsor events in the community and the like, giving back to those who buy from them!

Just because you don't have money for a berlinwood doesn't mean you can't afford a quality board from another company!

^
that sums it up broxi

Yeah, there's loads of lower priced deck companies around now that make good decks,
For example Pure, Temple, Zonawood.

You dont have to have a £30 fingerboard deck to enjoy fingerboarding
