JT FingerBoards needs your help! The company failed the last month that it was opened and now I am asking a few question from you! 1. What would you like to see being produced such as dimensions on decks. 2. What would be an interesting product we could offer that not many companies offer? 3. If JT re opened would we get the respect we had a year ago or would many of you still hold grudges to my mistakes (if you are unfamiliar with JT please do not ask what happened and to the haters please don't post in this thread)
JT wheels are going to be back with a new shape a better bearing and as always the cheapest price! Synthetic bottom plies will be coming soon My workshop will be set back up and hopefully producing stuff by Feburary 2012 I would love to hear your feedback please be positive and remember I don't hate on you so don't hate on me.

Urethane cost more than delrin but delrin is what flatfaces d material is made of It all depends on what is available however I do know that they will be around 18-22 dollars and always free shipping

1. I want to see more companies make decks the size and shape they, themself, believe are the best. If you want to make succes with your company, you should offer products that are the best in the world according to you.
2. Non-china trucks would be interesting, but they are pretty expensive to make. A good set of old school wheels would be cool too. Mounting screws and nuts dirt cheap.

the only advice I can really give you that means something to me is to please perfect your products before releasing them. I wish I would've done that. It will mke such a big difference.

A sound system hidden inside the deck so whenever you do a trick/s it says what you trick/s youve done.

Okay so um im not an offspring of Steve Jobs and mike Schneider so that may not work
That would be a funny signature lol
I do hope that the quality is better than when I first opened the company but still I was making some nice decks
as far as sellIng non china trucks that would cost and arm a leg and a finger lol it may be possible tho idk Hardware may be a possibility such as lock nuts and maybe screws if anybodyknows Any bulk supliers pm me plz

Customize your vachina trucks with your own bushings / paint them yourself / customize them. Try to do something other than just pawning off vachina stuff.
To be honest though I don't see why anyone needs to sell vachina stuff, we can all go to a reputable store and by them if we need them. Focus on the products that make your "company" different like your decks... Make them the best they can be. Not going to say any names but I've seen a couple of "companies" on here who really need to rethink how they present themselves as a company... There is nothing wrong with just being a guy who makes decks for fun... But there is something wrong with trying to present yourself as a professional business when your products are straight up not up to any sort of standard.
That being said I've seen the single picture of your deck off your website and there wasn't enough for me to give you any real criticism on it...
Don't mind the middle paragraph, it's just a rant about companies vs deck makers.

Well thanks, I've already read it now. You shit.
But on topic, the craftsmanship and the shape was really good, they were just a little thick and needed more pop Perhaps press them tighter?

When i got wheels off you they were shit as fuck, just modded td wheels with bearing shoved in and they didn't even roll because you'd got glue all over the bearings, that was ages ago so hopefully you'll change them this tome, haha .But other than that the decks that i had ages ago from you were sick, nice shape, spot on craftsmanship etc. Just do customs that's what people want.

Honesty is the best here... These guys can only improve their products if people are willing to tell them what's wrong with them.

Tried that. Firecrackers and Fingerboards don't mix well.
and to JT... i've seen some of your decks, EPIC. people want something custom, something no one else has. I love wood grain, so all of my decks are natural, bright and simply elegant. but there all burned, like capstuk's are. im not saying burn your decks. but if you don't trust your products then no one else will... and perfect your designs before you release. I learned the hard way.

If you cannot provide pictographs I disbelieve that it actually occurred.

Oh, and don't fall into the 'cool kid' trap of making 32mm decks. no more than 31mm imo.

I appreciate every ones replies and i would like to say that there will be alot of different bottom plies because of the veneer available to me and I cannot just sell china trucks that are just painted or shaped look at FF every non brt company that makes trucks are just shaped trucks I have decided a set price of 15 use for a standard maple deck I feel that is reasonable and I'm not getting scammed by selling them for ten Edit FYI only Andre the giant needs anything bigger than 31mm
