PostSubject: 4c complete   4c complete EmptyThu Oct 25, 2012 11:54 am

I'm doing this on my iPhone, so sorry if there's mistakes.
Basically I've been fingerboarding just over a month, and I wanted a cheap wooden deck I could use until I can pick up something of a higher quality.

I was actually surprised with the postage, as I live in Australia I was expecting it to take 3 weeks plus, in fact it just took under two weeks, and was wrapped fairly well.

First thing I did was rip the packaging open, and took the board out, I noticed the bottom of my deck wasn't properly sanded, it just didnt feel nice and smooth like I was expecting.

Unlike other reviews ive read, the holes in my board were fine, but for some reason my bolts were to short so I couldn't put my trucks on, but after I found a long set of bolts they went on perfectly.
There was no kingpin holes drilled so my trucks stick up a tad, that doesn't bother me in all honesty.

In my opinion, I wouldn't go back and order another deck.
I think this deck is for people who are starting out and have a low budget.

there's better options for beginners that support fingerboarding. next time if you want quality and awesomeness pick up from fingerboarder owned companies who aren't just reselling china products!

nice review though happy

I started about a month ago as well and looked into 4c completes as well. I read up a bit and most reviews weren't all that favourable.

I ended up getting a King Size complete and I love it!

My advice to anyone looking into getting their first board would be to read up on different companies and stuff. As Kerry said, I'm happier buying from actual companies that handmake their items or sell them on behalf of other companies, instead of people selling on mass produced stuff from China for a big profit!

Fingerboarder owned is always the way to go, I love buying from smaller companies also.

Got the 4c complete a few months ago. Not that good board. The wheels were horrible! they just don't roll smooth they roll even badder then tech deck wheels. The trucks are some normal china trucks. My deck wasn't that bad.
