I swear there's more than 5 of you? O.o

linus quit fingerboarding, steve disappeared off the face of the earth, thom dropped the team. there were 8, now there are 5. For now, at least

ah thanks for clearing that up but why did thom drop?

^Someone told me that it was because blosom doesn't really have the will to make decks fast for customers or something, lol idk

^that's silly
and if that's the case, blosom shouldn't be expected to make tons of decks its hard work

I dunno, tbh it's kinda true :oops: the companies been open like a year and have only sent the first batch out

well, hes not 14 years old (thats not directed at anyone here, simply at 'smaller' companies who are run by kids), he has bills to pay and money to make to live and such, and doesn't have time to churn out perfect decks. Fact is he could make shitty decks and churn them out, but then he wouldn't have the best decks in the world for sale. If he wanted to make them perfect, all the time, he'd need to charge like £30 a deck so he could live off the profit. Which he's not going to do because thats more than he wants to charge, and everyone would throw a hissy fit at the price.

True, he did get a bit lazy a while ago, but oh well. The company in my books was 'open' when the first batch was out, and that was may. So its only been like.. 6 months.

as far as I'm aware thom dropped for totally different reasons. up to him if he wants to tell everyone

^this I was going to say something similar, but I was walking, haha
But yeah, blosom has bills etc, so he can't make decks as a full time job, like airflo, for example. maybe we're wrong, but it seems most likely what Kerry has said

and blosom stocks aren't often, but when they are they're huge!

Does it even matter? He makes great decks and he's a super generous guy... who cares how many he makes in a year? He's sold a hell of a lot imo. He doesn't make as many as BW, LowPro, bla bla, but he makes more than most other companies.

same old same old....dont believe everything people tell you, as i can guarantee most of the time it is crap.

if i didn't have the will to make decks fast for customers i would totally give up what i have achieved.....but thats not me.......yeah ill agree, ill have 2/3 stocks a year by my estimations, and if anyone is clever at maths, you can do the math. (how many decks do i press a day?)

tbh i like it like this. i have my reasons.

the way i think about it, im not really a 'company'. as much as you young uns all think its a company it is not. i am just some guy who makes decks as its a passion of mine. of course i cant make as many decks as berlinwood, lowpro, yellowood etc, etc.

also the companies been open a year and ive only sent the first batch out??? maybe to flatface yeah.....not forgetting the other god knows how many......

im approaching the final stages of this batch now, if i didn't have a life/work/appointments/friends/gigs/rekindling an old flame.....maybe just maybe i might have more time to make more decks.....

but.....and a big but for me this is....really, i dont want to flood the market.....1. i dont want to, and 2. it makes my decks unique. as they are more difficult to get a hold of.

also i can guarantee their are some huge things in store for Blosom soon.....some really great things. but i dont wanna sing my praises, id rather finish the product then shout about it.

also a big thank you to all the people who know the deal, and are mature enough to understand. its you guys who make it worthwhile for me




*for reference that is a 12" slab of vinyl....(this is the 'blank' stock)...as of a couple weeks ago*



*for reference that is mr wills. (also known as the fen tiger). he is a hungry boy*

Wow.No wonder you make only 3 baches a year that is relay hard working

NICE BATCH SIR!

^sneaky final text is sneaky

but seriously.. DAMN I cant wait for my next sponsor pack after seeing those!
Take your time and continue to make the best decks in the world ross. I'm forever stoked to be part of Blosom

I wasn't hating haha, I wasn't hating at all, I love blosom, and am probably gonna buy a deck from the next stock haha. But as a customer and someone that doesn't talk to blosom on a daily basis like the team riders, you can't expect me to know what's going on in your life, blosom, I can only infer from what I've heard and from what I see; You've not made a lot of decks this year, which is what me and a majority of people who are quite distant friends and not as close as the team thought.

But now I obviously know whats going on and shall get off your case! You're doing a brilliant job and everything looks good, it's just that you can't expect all of us people to know everything that's going on, we can only state what we see or hear when you give us no word yourself.

I left on good terms with both Ross and Miles, yes, i left Creekwood too. I left them both for personal reasons which were both agreed upon by Ross and Miles. It had nothing to do with any sort of company no matter what people may think.

May i steal this??

Also, your stock looks amazing. I hope to be able to get my hands on one of those.

Oh my, that's a huge batch of beautiful decks! :shock:

When you have all the presses lined up it looks so sick!!

stoked to get mine <3

wooooooooo, go blosom with his mega stocks!

Sooo good.

I honestly sit at the end of my bed every night and pray to the fingerboarding gods that I can somehow manage to swag myself a blosom.
