I know there have been a ton of recent deck companies and i want to support the UK scene some more
It's me and my dad doing this company.
As some of you know I had an old company which was pretty bad but this time i know more about how to make decks we are getting the mold sorted out soon and the preparation may take a few months so this is just a warning I will be looking out for good skill on this community to hook up some riders but that is once we have a decent flow of sales.
If all goes to plan decks will be around ten pounds(16 dollars)
Also we will be stocking:tape(not china tape i've found a good supplier) ,wides,hopefully tuning, and maybe shaped trucks and hopefully some crete ramps.
I hope to get this thing started in the summer
Leave a comment telling me what you think of the idea and also what shape is your preference so we can decide what shape the mold will be

Your crete bank you gave to Will was amazing! I'd love to see some more stuff like it

sounds good, i wish you all the luck in the world, but as they say the proof is in the pudding.

That was actually quite a bad one.Before i put it in the mold it was too liquidy so it didn't come out too smoothly but the next one i made i was more supervised and i used less liquid making it much more smooth
But thanks anyway I'll look for that mold tomorrow

Crete ramps in the UK sounds awesome, best of luck to you

after i've got all my blosom deck+brt's sorted out I'm gonna get to work on testing materials for it why's everyone remarking on the concrete i meant for the main bit to be tape and decks :/

wow that would be really good.... and a deck for 16 dollars!?!?!

Sounds pretty sick to me. I think it's cuz' no one has seen a board made, so they can't exactly say anything. But they have seen the concrete obstacle.

good or bad? I might do blank decks for cheaper and dyed/exotic/burl bottoms for a quid more

if i could maybe offer a pearl without you getting upset???

its going to take ALOT of stress and money and time to get your decks to a sale able standard.....just look at me for instance.....ive been making decks for over a year....yet how many blosoms are out their??? under 15???

although ive got a big batch coming soon, but the research/testing and the amount of times ive thought about giving it up, etc,etc,etc. and i know every kid thinks having a 'deck co' is a goldmine, but the reality is that it is not, and you have to do it for the love. if its about making money you wont get anywhere. cos their is no money in it.

i hope you can be one of the ones that keeps with it and gets your decks to a great standard though and to keep it up

and if theirs anything you need any help with regarding deck making send me a pm, and if i can answer it, i will

sounds sick cant wait to see what happens with it!"

if it works ,then it sounds like its going to be amazing!
espeshaly the ramps!

Thanks blosom
Heres a question it's one i have been very confused about...
How do people get the shape of the board i hear some use aliminum or CnCbut obviously i can't afford CNC so how is it done?
Also guys what's a good shape to use?

:lol:

sorry :lol:

id recommend reading the entire ffi 'how to section' first, then lots of practice making your own mold, then maybe once you get good at it you would have found a decent material to use for your own mold, after that you would have spent ALOT of money by then pi55ing around and wasted noend of time and probably have quite sore hands from trying and probably feel like giving up.....now. if you want this to be a successful company the only way to go is to get a cnc milled mold. that way the shape is perfect, but then again you have to design it first and get all the dimensions perfect as you only get one shot at it...

ive made 'bondo' molds. lots of them in fact. and if you want my advice if your serious. get a mold made. im trying to help you out here.......or you could ignor my advice, try your hand at making your own molds, over 50 quid later on materials that dont work and a few failed molds, and noend of time wasted, you might come around to putting the money down on a mold that works.......

but what do i know??? prove me wrong and make your own badass mold.

and if you dont know what kind of shape you want already....your about 20 steps too far in front of yourself.

There is a mold company called NFB I think, haven't tried it but seems legit, and Nick's grandpa runs it too.

Blosom it's not gonna be a bondo mold.
And i seriously am gonna sound noobish but where can i get molds made because i generally have no clue.
I've seen plenty of companies being sucessful with bondo molds. And if my decks are good I will get a metal mold made I just want to experiment with shapes for now not spend 70/80 quid on a mold to find it isn't amazing or the right shape. Once i have the right shape i will find somewhere to make me a mold ;P

nfb is definitely the way to got motive and nocomply both use him

Best of luck



I bet it will be awesome

Look up local " tool and die makers" or " CNC specialists" in google for locals.. or if you don't want a aluminum/steel mold you can go bondo or casting resins..I prefer casting resins, they're simple,can't sand them so there's no deteriations, it's self-leveling, and super strong.

no.

And thanks Dillon

And Harry...wtf?

Get a Nicks fingerboards mold for like $75(Last Time i heard, their website was down)

Or you could get a $35 mold made out of bondo I think from finger decks.

a cheap one from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/MOLD-make-wooden-fingerboard-tech-deck-/200590668555?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb422b30b#ht_500wt_949

Hope this helps.

Loool harry!
Good luck finn! Get some tape and crete obstacles in first, the decks seem like they need a bit of time to get them off their feet

I'm making my own for a uniquer shape plus i hate decks with deep concave and high kicks and i hate fingerdecks.
And rafi that's what i'm gonna do gonna order the tape in a few days
