| the whole 'blem deck' area is grey.
alot of lesser companies 'blem decks' are crap. for the reason they cannot be rode or setup.
things like off holes/warped concave/ bad shaping/ are things a lesser company might put out as 'blems'
when i make decks, if the deck isnt making the grade it goes in the bin. a company is built on quality....you put out crap and thats all you will be known for.
the thing is kids nowadays trade decks like 10+ times, so that 1 blem deck could influence the whole of the uk/elsewhere that your decks are crap.
but on the other hand, i wouldnt mind giving away a 'blem deck' if it was the finishing that was off....things like lacquer finish, smudges etc.......putting out a duff deck is pointless. its not like you can use it....all its good for is putting in the bin.
i think when a company like FF put blems out, it would have been the finishing of the decks, not somewhere earlier in the production......(or least i would hope so) but then again, im not repping FF because i myself brought a few duff decks from their that were wayyyyy under par imo. |

I love how you post something like this, but then don't say anything to help, or any tips. Atleast when other people make a statement like that, they have something to back it up. |

| Sorry guys to announce the pert closure of grain decks for just now. The reason that I have decided to close is that I have a very important academical year ahead of me and need to focus on it. Grain may reopen in about a years time. I also need this time out to see what new products I can bring to the scene as just now there are a lot of mediocre decks and my decks are not unique. Customs will still be made at a price of £12 if purchased on the website but no new stock will be made. I hope you guys understand the situation I am in and look at it from my point of view |
