| don't know the full story, something to do with them copying berlinwood's mold. This was ageeeees ago though. I have nothing against them, they make good wheels and that's what matters really to me anyways |

| lol im sure he didnt make this thread to hear "long story bro" please explain As far as i know they teamed up with wicked stix who copied berlinwoods mold or something, i still don't see how that should make nollie hated, they just made a bad decision. Thats all i know and it would be cool if someone gave the actual story! |

| You can't tell a story of what got a company hated in a magazine Bobby...
+ I personally like their wheels, copy of BW or not.
But yes, they did copy their mold, and still do today. Rory says his nollie deck is the same mold as his BW OM.

| yeh the story i was told was that nollie wheels and wicked sticks made an exact replica of the mold of the bwom and they tried to bribe the carpenter lots of money to give them their mold but luckily they did not succseed but their mol is incredibly similar to a bwom :\ i might buy one because ive always dreamed of having a bwom but nollie wheels are not a bad company i have a set of heir non bearing wheels and they roll just as well as g6's and are incredibly smoooooooooottthhhhhhhh |

That would be the downfall of a great mag. This story is getting on 2 years old. Srsly. Hate them or don't hate them, your choice. I choose to strongly dislike them. |

| true bobby, but you dont know how true it is....you could run it i guess, if you had first hand proof/was involved with the story from the offset, but as it is, you know nothing more about it than me saying to put a part in the mag saying 'Danny Hyman has a small penis'.........because i told you too..... |

| I would be really interested in reading the story, but it might make you lose some business.
Maybe if you do both sides of the story, it might be better. Rather than "Why everybody hates Nollie Wheels", do "Fingerboarding History: The Nollie Wheels Controversy" |
