| I prefer Blosom over B-wood, i have both and i just prefer the shape/feel of the blosom more, Like (for me at least) whenever i do any fliptrick with a blosom it feels like i get a more solid feel to the whole thing, it feels like my flips rotate cleaner. Blosom's have a wider shape than B-wood and i prefer that + Blosom's nose/tail are pretty close to same pitch and stuff but on the new Berlin woods the nose is too big (IMO) |

| blosom. kicks and concave is perfect but the shape is not my preference. the deck is also heavier than any other fingerboards i tried. but still a great deck overall. |

| ^haha what? Seriously winklers are some of the nicest wheels out there. I have one set of nollie wheels and I really don't think they're that great. Not to mention imo you shouldn't support nollie. Get winklers or flatface wheels ON TOPIC: I don't like the shape of berlinwoods.. but lowshapes are really nice. As are the extrawides. (especially with WIDE brr trucks, those things look mad) Still, blosom all day ,I honestly think they're the perfect fingerboard. And I'm not just saying that to 'rep' them, they make every trick easy, and have some of the nicest bottom plies out. |

| I remember when I got a berlinwood Ellias Assmuth signed from my mom on my birthday. That deck was the best deck ever. But now the berlinwoods have changed a lot. I bought one a month ago and it's kinda soggy. So I borrowed it to a friend so he could start figerboard. I prefer blosom over Berlinwoods. Not becuz of the scene, becuz of the true quality. I mean the shape is perfect. Mellow/Low concave, medium kicks. Fucking sick. For demanding riders as low pro said.

| bad products, tried to charge me 9 eur on shipping on one set of wheels, and then sucked. they sue people, and steal. And, blosom look nice but i've never used one, I don't see what the hype is about on bwnm. |

| As a rider of skinny boards, I've only found one suitable wide deck for my preferences and neither BWNMs or Blosoms suit me. They're really high quality decks though. There are quite some significant differences in BWNMs and Blosom decks so I think it's probably better not to compare them on a general basis. I would like to try out a Flatshape/Lowshape to obtain an opinion of one of those decks but I've not tried one yet so I can't comment on those.
Look at these facts and decide for yourself: Blosoms are 30.5mm and BWNMs are 29mm. BWNMs have slightly more concave. BWNMs have real wear graphics, Blosoms have exotic bottom plies. Blosoms have kicks that are not as pointy as some decks which is a feature to improve consistency. Blosoms are made in the UK, Berlinwoods are German. I suppose if you're in the US, it's not as important to support either UK or DE scenes but you'd still be supporting Flatface by buying from them.
