I'm trying to decide, and if you don't like either what do you prefer? Thanks!

Never tried a blosom, bet they're good. Temples are my deck of choice, I love them. To be honest, get both. Temples are very low priced, so it wouldn't hurt to get one.

I got it from gunner. But, IT WASN'T EVEN A CUSTOM! :O
It was one of Ryan's older stocks. I'm sure you could ask him for a sweet custom for 17-20 dollars though!
And nah, I'm not, just a common last name.

Honestly both are two different things. Both Ross and I have different methods to making decks which end up giving them a different vibe. Ross makes extremely nice decks I don't think he's sold a bad deck to anyone ever. He puts hours on top of hours into his decks and they are all around perfect. I put in a good chunk of time into my decks as well and also make decks as perfect as I can make it. I think both Blosom and Temple are great decks and you can't go wrong with either one you choose. It all comes down to how much money you've got in your pocket and which one appeals most to you. Feel free to message me with any questions about my decks.

Thanks for the response Ryan, if I were to get a temple, could you make a splatter similar to Darian's ^
If not its cool, I went to your website, no products sad
Also, sorry if this is on your site, but are your boards medium kicks and medium concave?

No worries man. I've got two different molds for my decks. The one Darian has is my old mold which features medium-high kicks and mellowish concave and then I've got a newer mold which is mellow kicks with mellow concave. Yeah I could do a splatter like Darians as well. Just let me know if you want to go a head and order a deck and then we can work out the details through a pm.

Yeh, I'll PM you soon, I'm in need of some new wheels, so I will get the deck prob after I order the wheels this week.
By mellowish concave, do you mean low to medium? Thanks

like everybody said both decks ROCK!

Here's a shape comparison... wink

Blosom's on the bottom, as you can see the Temple has a little more mellow shape.

I love both decks!

I can tell you this, you can not go wrong with a temple for the price you pay its more then worth it! I own two temples and I am absolutely in love with them. They get the most use out of any of my decks and I have berlinwood classics and wides, and those go untouched for long periods of time because I forget about them when using my Temple! very happy

Oh wow! I'm just a little afraid it won't be enough concave, what other deck would you compare the concave to?

I can assure you, the old mold has the right amount of concave! The new mold is more mellow happy
Can't go wrong with either.

^don't get the old temple shape. neither blosom nor temple have much concave in either of their molds, if you're after concave like a berlinwood none of these decks will suit you and I'd recommend something like a fingerplant 2013.

for me blosom decks are the best in the world and perfect to ride, BUT obviously not every deck is for everyone. I think you could get used to the low concave but if you don't want to for what ever reason, don't go for two companies who have low concave happy

^Definitely was hmm


@Kerry, i would pick the old mold over the new, as the new is too mellow to my preference. It's not the shape that made newer Temples better, it's the fact that Ryan got better in general. New tools, new templates all that jazz.
