| So I hear from a ton of people different thoughts about Jordan's decks... Some people love them, some hate...
I have owned a few, and had different experiences with each I guess. I am not trying to start a war, but honestly, how do you feel about how they are made, graphics, shapes, etc?

| There good decks but I've had 3 and every single one had a flaw I still love em though lol. The graphics look good but when there usd they suck balls they come off after like 10 mins by the look of it |

| Yep, thats his name I have had maybe 4, which I all got from him directly... (We kinda talk alot) but anyways... I have never liked the shapes... Eiether to mellow, or to steep? Also, I know he is using more glue, but I don't think they have a ton of pop? Some people may disagree, but thats me. Not saying they are bad, just previous shapes haven't been made for me (Not trying to start a war ) |

| redemption.....what can i say...Ive tried to keep away from this thread for as long as possible.....ok the good points....they are cheap, custom ply's, pick your mold etc. they are not bad for the money, but i think theirs better out their for the money.....the few ive had experience with were OK......i don't want to hate on anyone but i feel as though they were rushed to make up for the cheap price.....id rather pay a little more and get a well crafted deck not something bashed out real quick with no care......Ive seen some really nice ones, but Ive seen some dam right awful ones.....decks that if i was the company owner, they would have gone in the bin......but...he is doing something good for the scene, i just think he's maybe making out he's some real experienced deck maker, when in fact he's still learning......and his molds make me laugh.....you see a deck on his site, think it looks nice, go back a week later, and he has changed the mold to something else........
a bag of sweets 10 green, 20 red......i don't like red sweets, but ill dip my hand in and see what i get.... |

| Yeah good points Blosom...
Like some of the customs are like, "Wow! Those look nice! $13! Yeah I will buy one!" So people/kids who are not on FFI rush to get them, and he said he is doing like 8 customs ATM... I think if you want to charge that much, they need to be more consistent.. Like on 2 of my 4 they had 1 define dip, and one mildly define, and the other 2 were flat...
I think he should look into getting Metal molds, or at least something more consistent? |

| yeah i know miles, i think that's because his molds are homemade, and he hasn't come up with a method to shut them and align them perfectly every time.......if the top part of the mold is slightly off, like by 0.5 of a mm its gonna totally mess the shape up... |

| Yeah exactly... I mean you could just get some cheap metals and it would really help! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WE28uzOcKsGo to 5:10... I think everytime Jordan does something like HW/NC he got it from here... While everyone was FB'ing he was looking at glues, woods, dyes, mold and more? |

| Yeah I know what you mean Blosom... Not saying they are bad, I just think some things are a little to much "taken from other companies..." Just simple things like how he holds his 20 vices or whatever... Kinda like Todds... If anyone remembers Jordans pictures? |

| i understand how you feel miles i do, but its progression and learning...after all, all the companies around now copied tech decks....i remember when i used to make decks when tech decks were not even around....it was 'precision boards'...if only i started a company back then.....i think everything in the world has been copied though.....copying leads to better products and progression.......but i wont be buying another redemption....put it that way.... |

| Yeah you are right, but something about how Jordans way of copying upsets me... I mean yeah, things like the Seven idea is cool, but it has been done hundreds of times before! Honestly, I think it would be cool if he did something no one was expecting! |
