Hey, I was wondering whether anyone could tell me more about this company, are their decks made in China?

It's just that there's a 32mm complete with urethane bearing wheels going on eBay and I was thinking about buying it, as I haven't got a set of urethane wheels and the deck graphic looks nice too, plus I wanted another 32mm deck as well, but thought I'd check to see what kinda reputation the company has on here first.

Thanks.

China.

They're one of the oldest fb companies. I'm a fan.

I got one, but had a hard time using it because it had too much concave for me. The graphics are awesome though.

The decks are okay, the are chinas though 7.5/10
the wheels are awful, the bearings are fucking horrific. 3/10
the trucks suck, the bushings aren't responsive at all. 4/10
so yeah, pretty bad
their ramps are cool though

Wrong

There wheels are really nice not made in china made from urethane come in 2 options bearing or non bearing, the trucks are single axeled trucks and painted nice not china what other trucks and wheels can you get for that price range?

The decks are china and are grim but nice graphics

Ramps are awesome the white marbe bench amazes me soo smooth and well made the bike racks and coffins are cool too

Overall there a decent company been going for years however the decks arent made by them any more and there starting to sell china wheels and trucks which isnt cool either I guess there alright for beginners.

Cheers guys, I might just get it for the wheels and trucks, I did suspect their decks were China, as the shape looks very similar to the Chinese decks I have already.

I take it that real urethane wheels will feel a lot smoother than the plastic bearing wheels I have at the moment?

Nah dude, they are a lot less smooth actually haha
I honestly hated the wheels, but that was just me.

yeah me to, they didn't fucking roll at all

Bought one of the first gen. completes back in 09 I think it was, had nothing to compare it to because it was basically my first wooden deck. Now that I think of it, it was horrible.

I bought one as one of my first purchases after a full on china setup from 4CF, but replaced it pretty quickly. Personally, I wouldn't bother. You seem serious enough about FBing that you could spend the £20 that a closeup costs and buy a blosom deck or whathaveyou.

The graphics are awesome, but as has been said above the wheels really aren't good. The material they are made of is polyurethane, very similar to oaks, in fact, but they spin far far worse than my £6 china bearing wheels. You would be better getting a good deck, some dump trucks and china wheels for now. Then upgrade to a good set of wheels at a later stage and some good tuning (which makes a world of difference, seriously).

The trucks are pretty cool, nicely painted etc. and single axle, but the axle is a nonstandard width and a I can't get my China's or my Ywheels onto it. So that's worth bearing in mind, if you were planning on upgrading wheels at some point.

I have always wanted a coffin curb, though.

the wheels are so shite

This was my first complete that wasnt all china... I hate it so much other than the trucks. The wheels are bumpy af and the deck feels just like china or it is dont wanna say something that might not be true.

French brand! I support them since 2009 and met Damien (like a month ago) , the owner and he's really a nice guy! He gave me a marble bench and it's super smooth , one of my favorite obstacles!
