| Just thought I would share that we have been able to score a new supplier for our Pro-Trucks and are very happy to now offer our trucks at a lower price AND include free Basic Bearing Wheels. Check it out. Pro-Trucks now $6 and HP Pro-Trucks are now $11.97 includes free USA Shipping! http://prowoodfingerboards.com/store/pro-trucks |

| These are more durable (hard to tell that from pics, I agree) but they now sell for $6 for Pro-Trucks and $11.97 for HP, which as I said includes a set of Free Bearing Wheels. Also free USA shipping.
Sorry IEATBANAS, my pricing is fair for what I pay and how I do business. But when I am interested in your opinion, I will be sure to ask! |

LOL! But one thing that i do like about prowood is that theyre still around, especially through all the trash talking and stuff. i'm not gonna hate prowood as ive never tried their products and ive never had a bad experience with them as far as the scene goes. so with that being said... COOL! |

| a step in the right direction, but the fact of the matter is both of those sets of trucks can be obtained for generally under a dollar a set. if you cant find at least similar to that, I don't know where you're looking : o if 6-7 was the price of the pro set and 4-5 on the normal set, I guess that'd fair. Its your call, your business, but a lot of people on forums (which in fairness is probably a very small part of your customers) know what these are worth. FREE WHEELS should have no bearing on the price, because they're FREE. It is cool that you're doing that though, so big props for that And end of the day I dont wish any negativity on you, I'm sure most people outside of here will be stoked on the price reductions, so good for you. At least you make your own decks and pump some positivity into fingerboarding. |

| A beautiful 1000% mark up.
I hope you feel bad about stealing kids' pocketmoney.
It's like taking candy from a baby, only you're not even doing half of the job, some underpaid man in China is.
Ugh...

| People really need to stop all this negativity towards Prowood, I have bought and tried their decks, HP Trucks, tape, bearing wheels and bushings. To be honest with you all they have all been really good. The decks have held up well and still have the same amount of pop as the started, the HP Trucks are easy to adjust and nice to ride same goes for the wheels, decent materials and smooth bearings. People need to stop just jumping on the band wagon and hating against Prowood when they have never even tried their products and just hate on them because of something they read and because of something someone told them, come on guys, grow up. And also if you compare Prowood HP Trucks to Blackriver Trucks HP Trucks are much cheaper and i have had my hp trucks longer than my blackriver trucks and my blackriver trucks screw holes has snapped and i ride both of them the same if i ride the hp trucks more...

| Pretty much the only place to get 26mm trucks other than a tech deck. And a tech deck would still be a better price :/ If the 26mm trucks were $3, I'd buy them, but not at $6. |

I was going to buy them as a gift for my friend that started fingerboarding but couldnt find them. You have to buy them in bulk from overseas. I've tried Prowood decks and tape, haven't tried the wheels but I know he gets them from a private maker in the states, but the decks are alright, but not worth the price. The ones I tried have no lacquer hardly. Tape was really good though. props. |

| honestly, prowood decks are fine. there pretty good, and i tried one at gary chin's meetup. but personally, what i think(and this goes for any company) is that if you dont make it, dont sell it. so just keep that in mind when you are charging, say, 11 dollars for trucks, or 23 dollars for wheels. you hear what i'm saying? |

so Black-river cant sell other than black river ramps then? hes just doing what bollie and closeup are doing... RE-BRANDING but thats ok isnt it! because you all ass rape there brands and do you actually think y trucks and BRTS are made by them and not ordered in from there suppliers who make them for them.. to that logic y trucks cant sell there truck because they have them made for them and neither can black river You all no this kid sells china trucks so just don't buy them instead of post whoring on his thread NO ONE IS MAKING YOU BUY THEM |

| yeah, i do think brts and ytrucks are made by them. thats why they have flaws in them. china trucks are perfectly made, because they are mass produced. |

lol there's a big whole in your theory.Not only are Tech Deck trucks not perfectly made but usually when something is mass produced the quality goes down since what their concern is quantity not quality. |
