| Hello guys and galls, My name is Tom and I am the creator and owner of Absolute Fingerboards. I have been in here for a 3 years now but my contribution to the fingerboard community has been in the shadows. This year is 2015 and that means a new year for me to go follow what i want to do! I have been making decks for around 1 year now, and I feel I have making Decks on the ball and I want to give good prices and get well known for that. My knowledge of finger boarding has grown a lot over the past year and that means a lot to me. I am coming from Sydney, Australia to you guys. I would really love to see finger boarding in Australia be as big as it is in Germany and the states one day and i am going to give it everything I got! I hope that kinda, kinda makes sense and I hope to enjoy hearing some feedback! This is From Tom at Absolute fingerboards My Instagram is Absolute.fb My Website is being created as your reading this in a parallel universe so yeah Chuck at me some feedback Look at my photos here because, https://instagram.com/absolute.fb/ |

| http://lmgtfy.com/?q=absolute+fingerboardsI don't get why even if someone was going to go to the 'effort' of reselling china stuff, they wouldn't google the name first. Absolute decks were epic. This does not seem that way. |

| Its a shame you feel that way,but the funny thing is that i make these decks with a friend. And he is Asian.
Also, i thought of the name aflame which means indicating excitement or lighted up by or as by fire or flame |

lol LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL "he is Asian" <--------------------- (look at avatar) HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE GOING TO SELL THESE DECKS?!?!?!? MY FATHER IS GOING TO KILL ME NOW FOR WASTING HIS SUPPLIES! On a serious note you "have" an asian friend that "made" these decks and why does this matter???? These decks look like you bought them in bulk from a Chinese website that I'm sure everyone knows by now *cough* Alibaba *cough*. Unless you can prove that you indeed have a mold and actually press these decks yourself or with your "asian friend" then I call bullshit. Also how in the world did you not know Absolute was already a company that made amazing decks?????? |

| it honestly could be a gator mold (or something else). those molds have hilariously ridiculous dips and high kicks and look like the shape of the china decks. also if you look at this picture: https://instagram.com/p/4wSoFlHvkd/?taken-by=absolute.fbyou can see that he has colored plies and china decks usually don't have colored plies (well, the one i own doesn't). but if this is china that's sad. and change your name absolute was a very well known company. and wtf is up with that title "read it or weep it" why? |

| No disrespect dude but these are China's I read this thread and looked at the Instagram but I could tell right off the bat. I mean prove everyone wrong but showing some pictures in the mold and stuff but if it's china decks it's kinda a disrespect to the people who make decks because you're taking potential customers from them and they actually put in the hard work. Just food for the thought much love. |
