Refuting the red top ply myth

[Acrid Avid Jam Shred]

The slave deck I just order from my shop has a red top ply....am I going to die?

Have any of you guys had experiences with the curse? Am I fucked?

[The Donger]

Focus that shit while you still can.

[BriDen]

You will die, fact. Accepted protocol states that you must give me the board to fully vanquish the curse.

[oyolar]

I don't even risk it. Why even try. Even though it's only supposed to be DLX decks, I've shyed away from every board with a red top ply.

[Acrid Avid Jam Shred]

my plan is to paint over it and forget about it, like a monster in the closet. I know a shit ton of people that have had the lrg anti-hero black eagle, those got red top plys...who knows.

[chillout]

ive only had one board with a red top ply and i rolled my ankle and tore 4 ligaments. the ply bothered me for like the first two days, then i loved the board. then boom. idk, i always try not to get bright top plys

[Tuna]

i had a krooked deck with a red top ply a little over a month ago, no problems at all. its really all in your head.

[Stoeipoes]

No not this bull shit again.

I heard if you put a sheet of paradox grip on a board with a red top ply while wearing a power bracelot you become immortal.

The only top ply color I don't like is yellow, because if your grip is fucked you see that ugly color all the time and they look toys and snap faster. A friend of mine broke one yesterday and the tail and nose snapped with nose effort at all.

[sleepypancakes]

My favorites are when top plies are natural or stained a dark color. Or maybe green, but it's just because I don't really like seeing the colors around the grip

[fowlerclone]

broke my leg in multiple places with a krooked red top a few years back
had an anti-hero red top last year, and nothin'.

[DeerTay]

I'm riding a red top Real at the moment, no juju so far. However, green top plys have led to nothing but pain for me.

[Gnarwhal]

red top ply krooked last week = i now have a broken ankle and foot

[Lane2095]

you will not die but they are guaranteed to break in the first or second day of use

[pandarelated]

broke my foot on a red topped board.
before then i had been serious injury free.

[H8R part 4]

its all in your head. 
besides red goes faster! 

[sparksandblood]

Its a fucking painted piece of wood. You are cursed with being an idiot.

[Firebert]

i had plenty of red top ply boards without any bad luck, they are my favorite

You're the idiot dickhead....some of us enjoy being superstitious.

[pyrex vision]

my current board is a blacklabel with red top and bottom plies, and i love it. My last red-topped board was a Girl that snapped within two days, but i think the lesson i learned was don't buy crailtap wood.

[VictoriousOG]

I'll be honest and admit that I've never heard of this superstition.

[drunk]

i like orange
