Dwindle Blanks / Blanks in general
« on: December 29, 2021, 06:45:31 AM »
Anyone ride blanks often? I like to keep one spare in my car or just pick them up when I'm somewhere obscure like Thailand or South Spain and there's no other stores around. I don't like Dwindle boards and am not gonna fork out $70 for a deck thatll lose pop quite fast, but the Blanks are 20-35 dollars so more worth it

Sounds like Decathlon decks, which are Dwindle wood, but way more in the budget / beginner board quality range, than the normal wood range.




More on that in the Blanks thread.

Edit:

I did have a look at and stand on the Dwindle Globe decks the other day in a more mainstream shop and the two things that stuck out to me was the chunkiness of the board overall and the solid feel of it, not so much heavy, but definitely looked like thicker ply layers and all plain natural which just had such a different look to the other pro Dwindle boards in the same shop.

To stand on them though, they were stiff and not soft like some other cheaper decks, but I am happy not to have to deal with that end of the market, dealing more with the pro Dwindle decks, as per people I know who ride them and they hold up well, stay stiff, etc.

If dwindle blanks are anything like those pricepoint decks that blind makes then stay away from them. Had a couple of them in a row years ago and I’ve never had boards break and crack so fast back to back. Doubt they’re any better now.
