I'm thinking more of an article on reputations and how easily they can be forever twisted.

I think at some point people have to have a reason to read a magazine, it's gonna get pretty boring after about the third issue without some well written and probably controversial articles.

IDK

That might be a good idea.

Also, I would be happy to right a good article for 5 Ply If I have a topic, I could do some research and write it up

Topics...

" Chinese FB wheels and the face of a changing industry"
"5 or 4 ? does one ply really effect pop?"
"Death of a salesman, how FB popularity hurts the home deck maker"
"Bondo ? Metal ? Square ? Round ? Fingerboard mold basics and which is best "
"Fingerboard Sponsorship...whats the point ? "

IDK stuff like that

those sound a lot better that homing in specifically on one company

LOL i do think its funny that suggesting a well researched and well written article about one company is objected to , while starting yet another prowood sucks thread is well received

How about a story about sponsor whores?

love it

Now theres a story worth some negative attention

Instead of bring back wackass post when they don't know a thing about the company.

Dont be hatin' on Nollie :3

Why should we not? they still continue to copy berlinwoods olds so being a team rider you must be able to give us a reason?

have you noticed the setup in his sig has nothing nollie on it ,lawl

lel he has like 9 setups i hav six but only 3 of them are riding on bearings i might get some nollies with bearings this time and make an entirely honest review on them but i need my bank account first D:

Exactly aren't we humans, don't we have opinions ?

It's not that they tried to bribe the carpenter or something...

Berlinwoods were made by a carpenter, who then sold his decks on to someone else as well (WickedStix). Which isn't really on, to be fair, haha
Also, Nollie were in cahoots with them or something? I don't quite remember, but they suddenly slashed their own prices, landing distributers such as fbs in shit because they had to cut their own profits and afaik actually lost a fair bit of money.

So yeah. WickedStix are BWOMs, but made purely for profiteering. Hence BW coming out with a new mold. Nolliewheels also are incredibly shady, and really shouldn't be trusted.

The only people in this thread saying "I like nollie" are kids that up until about a month ago didn't land a kickflip with two fingers. Jussayin.
But yeah. I don't see a point in supporting them. Good or bad products.

i don't see a good reason not to like them, they never did anything to me, and i can kickflip landing 2 fingers. i can do much more than that.
They never did anything to me, nor did this problem 'arise' in my time. I guess if it did i probably would.
I still keep away from them because people hate on people who even get close to nolle.
Just cos you don't hate nollie doesn't mean that you cant kickflip.
I don't nearly like nollie as much as all the BRR and flatface companies, all the proper 'legit' companies.
Nollie don't seem really legit, thats why i i don't like them, but i don't hate them.

to me it seems like there is no point in supporting them because i had a set (dont flame me my mom got them for my bday and she obviously doesn't know about any of this) and they came with a flatspot when you could just get a set of no comply's for the same price

grant dont be so negative people are aloud to have there own thoughts i mean they do some pretty good prices and there wheels are pretty good too but not as good as nocomply wheels i have a set of the non bearing wheels and they are just as good if not better than some bearing wheels i have im probably gonna get a set of their metal wheels to see what they're like + i need an outdoor set up :{D

sorry for the negativity, but once again this is an opinion. My friend also has a set of clear nollie bearingless wheels and to be completely honest they were worse than tech deck wheels they were smoother but the place where the axle goes was so bad they made terrible squeak noises and would slide around. Keep in mind these are opinions.

Yes! My friend had them with a complete and he hated them so i traded them off him and they literally didn't work. They just came off and when i put double sided tape on the nut (I always do that, its like glue but ready straight away ) they rolled like shit, exactly the same as techdeck wheels. Lmfao

my friend had a set of nollie yellow single bearing wheels and the backs wore out in like 2 weeks or something XD

Like, the bearing fell out, there was no back at all. Awesome quality

i think he was just saying that people that are like "ooo yeah lets love them they havnt done anything to me!" are people that dont have a great understanding of the scene and proberly havnt been fingerboarding for long.not that all non haters cant kickflip. ¬¬ what they did was wrong and they never seemed to do anything about it just suck in newbie kids to continue to buy their products. its an old story thats sort of dieing out , just have fun fingerboarding and support the scene !

bobby you should just write the article, or one about maplewood. Tell the story andlet the readers make there judgment though, dont be a biased writer. Be controversial, its a magazine and if your just gonna fill it with reviews and whatnot nobody will want one. I can go on any forum and read reviews and trick tips and things of that nature. All your doing is putting them on paper. Obviously the article would be a good idea because look how many posts this thread has already compared to any reviews and look how many views one of keiths threads has. I think not only would it be smart to write an article for sales reasons, But it would keep you from being boring. Just make sure its well written and unbiased.

will, i said after exactly that, i don't support them, i support other companies instead and i dont love them because they aren't very legit. I don't hate them though.
