I assume they can do this now because they've been steadily losing big accounts the last few years. Its unfortunate that it seems quality has gone down that much. BBS wood has been lasting me WAY longer in the last 3 years.

Is PS becoming the new Clutch?

Yes, and imagining demand from existing accounts is down due to overstock issues of late. 

I’m not a PS Stix wood-rider myself 😜 - but I know some folks who are, and this is a somewhat unprecedented opportunity for the average “consumer”

Quality is terrible and I really don’t think “the Professor” cares.

Dumping blanks on the market isn’t helping.

The counterpoint, for me is…yes it is.
Admittedly, my best days are long in the rear view. But world boards, when world was the shit, didn’t last too long neither

Emailed them because I have been considering ordering a stack of blanks for a while (to either screen print myself or just run the same shape for a few years)

"Price for 50 boards range from $855 - $1,130, depending on ordered sizes and if you’re looking for blank boards or with graphics."

You would have to sort shipping yourself so if you are located overseas could double the cost.

Honestly prefer the feeling of Dwindle wood over PS, I wonder how easy it would be to get blanks through them?

Paul been doing a good job making the brand more known. But still who’s dying to get a pssstix board? I feel like you could get a Drifter (or other small tier board shop) board and it be just as good

Also shipping will suck.

This is interesting!


Can I copy your post and pics to the Woodshop thread please?

Anything like this is good to have all in one place.

Not a worry either way.

Thanks.

The thing keeping me from ever riding one of these decks is that I can't not read it as "piss stix"

I’ve loved all the Quasi boards I’ve ridden that PS Stix makes. Though I’m mostly skating bowls and small transition. #toofattoollie

What are bbs/generator minimums? does anyone know?

My crew was getting boards made by drifter for a while. Not auite as good as ps stix IMO, but i think the price might offset the difference in quality.

I skated a ton of Quasi boards up until I got a Frog board and it just felt like the wood lasted longer. Then it kind of clicked in my mind with people saying PS boards "get soggy". Plus the shape was better, roomier tail. And plus it helps put some money in Pat G's pocket.

Quasi's been dabbling with BBS the past few seasons with the twin tails and a couple others each season from them. Wish they would just go full force and leave the dry crumbling cookie decks behind.

Eastern Skateboard Supply sells Dwindle blanks so if your local deals with Eastern they can probably get some in for you.
In terms of shipping costs here in the USA you can use www.pirateship.com and save a good bit of money.
For example:
Every time I order a case of wheels the shipping cost is $90 or more if I go through my supplier.
With Pirate Ship I’m paying $60 a case to ship. $30 bucks saved on shipping equals more wheels for my inventory so that’s a plus. Whenever you order from a manufacturer let them know you are using a third party shipper and just email them the label.

I've been skating the same wknd for at least 6 months and it's still not soggy. It was a pre pandemic model tho I think.

I dared to venture back to PS a few months ago with a WKND and it was one of the worst boards I've had it a while. The holes for the front truck were somehow drilled incorrectly, but I bought it from a closeout pile at a local shop and I didn't want to bother them with a return, so I just filed the holes so the trucks would fit. The deck lasted about ~3 weeks before I just gave up and handed it to a kid at the skatepark. I went home and setup a Polar with nearly identical geometry and it lasted me two months.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021
