What the fuck!? What was the need in that? Nice way to support the scene.... ---------------------------------------------------- But on topic. Try and stay away from china shit. Please don't be a china company. Take time with your decks, like Redemption and legit companies like them. It takes effort to make decks, as blosom a few questions about this, he's the man to talk to. But I wish you luck bro |

Seriously though man, my advice to you is to make a few small batches and just trade them online and see what the reviews are like... Go with the flooooow. |

| it would be sickk if u started a company that distributed all that good shit, just so you know the company isent called dooby decks any more its Forgiven fingerboards, surprised james dident tell you that, but deff make some board and sell them or trade them see what people think before you get into it big time. |

| get your product as good as it can be. when it is top notch, show it to the masses. if they like it. good. start a company. imo distributions are a waste of time. its a losing battle. your up against the big boys. and if you have nothing to offer (your own product) it will be an uphill struggle. take a look at all the distribution companies that have started and failed. in fact i would say their are more that have failed than succeeded. i wish you the best. dont let anyone tell you otherwise. their is only one person that can make it happen. and that is yourself and chiller my decks are hard to get as they sell out quickly, and you maybe get 2/3 stocks a year....be ready for when the stock is up...or when flatface have them |

| When i read your first post i got the feeling that you are making a company just to make a company.
You gotta find out what it is that you want to do. If you want to make decks just do it.. The company thing is unimportant unless you want money. |

| what banlyst said
dont just make a company for the sake of it, take time making decks until they are top quality then maybe send some to people like kerry (if he would be willing) to review them
but don't rush, master the decks before anything and please, please don't sell china shit |
