| Hey everyone, this is my first post, so dont get mad if i do something wrong! Anyways, i'm not sure how many english fingerboard companies there are, but i found a company called BionicFB. They are from somewhere in England, and their decks are amazing! They have one mold so far, with two graphic designs, and i think they are such good quality for the price they are at. They are 10 Pounds and they have medium/high kicks and medium concave. I bought a deck, but they didnt have any ink for stickers or something, so a few days later i got two decks, tons of stickers, loads of pivot cups and two sheets of normal grip! Which i thought was really cool of them. Also they do custom graphics and board sizes aswell! The website is http://www.bionicfb.yolasite.comPictures are on the website (i dont know how to put them on here) So, i think you should check them out because i dont think there are any other English companies (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong) |

| Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here Yes, I'd say this is the right spot for this post, so noone will be mad at you ^_^ Critique on topic, whilst its cool that they gave you that stuff, and its a good price for a deck, why don't they have any proper pictures of their decks? If they are a legit company they should know shape is very important to people looking at whether to buy a fingerboard, and to us who've been fingerboarding a while (or, I've only been fbing a year, but its still long enough to pick up these things) its generally the case that if a side pic isn't shown, they're trying to hide something, like slight warps in the decks, uneven dips, etc.. You really can't tell from that pic, and while as I said they're a good price, someone should tell the company to put better pics up, it makes people soo much confident to purchase a product when they can see it, especially in fingerboarding when everything is small, a close up pic is needed, and fairly decent quality pics at that And, bless, yes, there are other english companies. Inanely famous ones at that, ever heard of arctic? I guess they were shut for years and haven't really done much since 2007 product wise, but, I'd be surprised if you found a fingerboarder whos been riding as long as I have whos not heard of them. I'm sure there are more. In fairness, there are more from other countries, and if you're new to the scene then I guess its understandable you wouldn't know about an older company thats barely active these days But, yes, england has had its glory in the fingerboard world as well as america/germany/austria/portugal |

| I emailed them asking why they haven't got any decent pics of their boards, and i got a reply saying that they are going to be adding a few new pictures soon, and adding a picture of some dyed bottom ply decks which sounds pretty cool. Also, the board i have is pretty much perfect, nice rounded edges, good concave, even dips etc. So the pictures they are adding should be pretty good. I forgot to add in the first post, you can email them at bionicfingerboards@hotmail.co.ukAlso, i have heard of Artic, i just thought the company closed a loooong time ago lol, but like you said, the majority of the companies are from germany, portugal, usa etc. |

| ahhh.. cool, what other decks would you compare the shape too? could you take a picture of your deck so we can see the shape? ^___^ they came back recently, I'm not sure whats going on with them but they're around, as such Sorry I sounded patronising btw, I didn't mean to We need more english companies! I have an idea in my head for a really original company, but thats staying shh in my head until I ever get some prototype products up.. |
