| 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. - Rdcruzer wrote:

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* |

| As a member of the team and a good friend of Ross's (I hope I am in your eyes Ross, haha), I know that Ross is a man of his word. If he says a batch is nearly ready, It is. He doesn't mass produce them on a hefty scale, which brings up the fact that every board is made to perfection, not done by machine or anything like that, like the major companies.
As a sponsor, he's extremely generous, giving us decks for FREE so we can test them out, represent and enjoy them. We really do appreciate it, Ross.
And again, for the exact same reasons as my first paragraph is why batches are rare. These decks are the BEST decks in the world in my opinion, because of the hard work, time, and effot that goes in to each one. That's what makes Blosom, Blosom. (Ok I stole that from the McDonalds Advert).
And yeah, Thom left for his own reasons and those reasons should stay to him. Not because he didn't like Ross, or the decks, or Ross's passion to make decks in general (cough, company), he just left. because he wants to be on yellowood :3 |

| 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. |
