Thank you Kerry for the welcome to the board and community. I am thankful for the advice and we are in the works on videos to help people understand what we do here and get to know us better. I also appreciated your need for valid information about what we do. To be accepted under the tight scrutiny is an honor. You do a good job making sure your site stays legit and we applaud your efforts. Thank you and the community for your interest. Your forum is alive and we are proud to be a part of it. We love fingerboarding, the companies and the riders. We are all working to further the sport we love so dear.
Our company is me (J. Hadden), and Justin in R&D. Emily and Walter are advisers. There are a dozen or so extended members for certain areas they specialize in including construction and law.
We are super stoked to be here!!!!
Lets ride!

Blosom, we have already proven that we make these boards, right here by my own hands and from start to finish. Please dont be sorry you are just mistaken in your assumptions of our company. We do what we do for love of the sport. We make great boards and you do not have to buy them, but we will continue to follow our hearts and fingers. 36 is just around the corner for you as well. Sometimes you just have to do what you believe despite father time.

Dude, you don't understand, mass produced fb products are damaging the scene....
Take Todd, the owner of Nocomplyfingerboards for example:

He devotes his whole life to making new fingerboard products, decks, wheels, finger rollerblades, but he doesnt make a lot because the scene is so small and now everybody's buying china products to save 10 bucks or so

Therefore, Todd soon wont be making enough money to explore new ideas and provide brilliant products for the fingerboard world to keep us thriving, there's too many people like you selling these shitty china products

Nice decks I would love to see a mellower deck as well, maybe you could get dual bearing wheels or like some other material other than China wheels, because no hate to China Fingerboards but I just don't like the material or how squarish they are but yeah your decks look great and all, but the packaging of the decks looks legit, the trucks with the bearing screws
look a little bit long for the trucks, but it maybe my eyes but yeah sorry for such long post, legit company man. Be it will go big.

You need gloves when belt sanding such small objects. I will gladly get you a pic of me with the decks I make. We dont sell mass boards. I make them as ordered. One at a time. Im going to skate the halfpipe and finish packaging the custom order for Urban 9 skate shop.

Thanks Doug76! we work hard on them. The wheels we can take or leave but they roll and are inexpensive. Double bearing probably not, but the single shielded we have in store for our future lathed wheels are super strong. Yes we are lining up events here locally to help get the community here together.

I don't know why the decks remind me of 4CFB but, what kind of mold do you have?

Super funny Nedim. Its a Northwoods casting die invented by me, CAD designed and milled out of steel. I have never even seen a 4CFB. I saw Yellowoods website 2 years ago and realized the beauty and quality a fingerboard could have. I started making my own and before long I had created about 7 shape designs. I picked the most effective one, put on a suit, went to the bank in Vail, threw my research (5 decks, 2 molds and logo designs). on the table. They took me seriously to my surprise and granted me enough money for the initial cost to go to steel, the design firm, my Solidworks program and lawyer fees. The man that makes my casting die is a full time steel miller who makes parts for airplanes. 4 different versions of the steel were made, at no cheap cost, until it was even better than the original design. I lived paycheck to paycheck but my boards and the press were my top priority. There were many lessons learned.

Just wondering since I'm new and all, but why did you change your age? it said that you were 36 and now 22?

Doug I believe that was the number of post I have made. The age has remained unchanged until the 24th of this month when I turn 37!

man i don't see why you spent loads of money on lawyers and patents and shit? no-ones gonna copy you until you get some decks out and people realise they have a unique element, that's when you copyright.

Your decks look good to be honest, Send me one for free, then I'll compare it to a China Deck and whatnot and then I'll say if it's China or not.

I will also accept something for free and compare it to something else, a tv remote perhaps
