| The shape is exactly like a china deck.
I don't know how much it costs to put graphics on, but €15 is way too much for a china deck IMO. |

| did you guys read the review?
its china. you have to realise however that OEM costs a ton more than just standard products.. then they stamp them, put a graphic on, etc. AND they ride a hell of a lot nicer than any other china deck I've used, and I'm not just saying that to bum BRR. honestly, its a nice deck to use.
I don't think its THAT expensive, I'd rather kids buy these and the money goes to fingerboarding, rather than them support 4c or something. I'm not exactly stoked they're china decks, but yea, the current supplier of the flat shape wouldn't work with them for another shape for what ever reason, so they had to find something else. |

| OEM? The shape is the exact same as the china deck i got as a sample when i ordered trucks. The supplier even offers to make the size as you wish, so i doubt getting coloured plies would be an issue. Then all that is left is putting on the graphic.
That said, the china decks aren't that bad. They are definitely better than a tech deck, because they are sized like a professional deck. And i don't mind BRR making profit, they are afterall putting a bit of the money back into "the scene".
The issue with the price is that for €15 you can get a: Temple Pure Zonawood Zink Karma Redemption etc.
Which (without having tried all of them) are much better decks IMO. |
