Hey everybody, Im new here very happy. I was just wondering which I should get:
Close Up G3 Complete
or Redemption Complete?
I've heard that the G3 is not that good and some people have difficulty getting trucks on. The redemption, I heard it has bad lacquering etc.
So, which would u guys choose and are there any others at the around e same price?
Thank you very happy

redemption are WAY better.
Closeup are good, but,
A) a very deep concave shape, hard to learn on
B) not amazing pop
C) only 26mm wide, so, only techdeck size, horrible to learn on
D) the cores on the wheels wear down and make them not so nice

Only good things you get with closeup are
A) sick graphics
B) single axle trucks that come in rad colours and have the closeup logo on them

Redemption have
A) sick pop
B) any width you want (I'd recommend 28mm) / any colour woods you want if you get a custom
C) choice of molds, med/high mold or the agape mold are best to learn on

Redemption lacquer issue is an old old story, hes improved his decks a lot since then. They're cheaper, better to learn on, and will last you longer as a closeup being soo thin will ultimately annoy you rather quickly and then you'll want something else.
So, yea, I'd just go redemption, you cant go wrong really.

or save up 45 dollars and get the best value fingerboard out there by a long shot, no comply push m2 completes. Bearing wh00lz and everything. happy

yea blosom, its an oppinion? happy

You should have and be using your new found moderator neutrality and unbias, haha XD

I mean, I've heard yws can be soggy, I hated my berlinwood, and if you like concave you're gonna hate a g12, and a lot of people have said good things about agapes, so, yea, price isn't proportional to performance. That said, I <3 my g12 and the only other decks I want to try (frost g2 mellow + homewood m4) are 30 dollars also, so, yea, what ever you pay, a deck is down to preference happy

yeah totally i get its an opinion, i don't totally hate redemption...far from it....but better than a ff yw or bw deck? come on..... very happy .....i thought i was being totally honest with that decision? very happy

but yeah i guess if that's the only amount of money you have its got to be a redemption....although your still gonna need wheels.....and if you stick with fingerboarding a week later you'll wish you paid a little more and got the no comply complete....but that's only my opinion too very happy

You could always buy a JT custom for $7, then buy your wheels and trucks from no comply.

my redemption is better than my berlinwood was, they have too much concave
it was better than my g12 that i had, g12's suck hairy testes imo
and its better than every yellowood ive ever tried, so ill agree with you on that one rafi very happy
all these super expensive, top name brand decks arnt even that good.

i don't want to go off topic or get into huge arguments over this again.........danny what i think you mean to say is your rede3mption was 'more' your preference wink ........and them being 'better' than bw,yw, and ff is just laughable to me, if not wetting my pantsable....and im sure many agree very happy

and you guys better hope Jordan doesn't get wind of it......he'll quote it everywhere for the rest of his days and we'll never hear the last of it.... very happy
