I'd much, much prefer my boards be made in America.

And companies that choose to do this will receive my money.

Who still does?

Deluxe?

Deluxe or death.
that china wood is all garbage.

dudebro · « **Reply #10 on:** October 31, 2007, 02:24:27 PM »

If its good quality, I don't really care where its made. I will say however, I haven't ridden a good quality one from China yet. I've ridden maybe one or two Girl/Choco boards over the last couple years because they had a good shape, but the pop was dead in a few days and I've seen lots of kids break them really easily. I usually ride Bareback shop decks, which I'm pretty sure are made right over the border in Mexico, because they have good shapes, decent pop and they seem to be consistent as far as quality. Occassionally I'll splurge on an Alien or Habitat deck though because that PS Stix wood is SOOO stiff and poppy.

*disclaimer: I work at a skateshop so I don't pay retail. If I was paying full price I would definitely wouldn't be riding Chinese boards at their current quality...

Deluxe uses Bareback wood. Their office is in San Diego but I'm almost positive they manufacture them in Mexico.

I don't care if this board is made in China. Schmitty can make it anywhere he wants to.

TheDraught · « **Reply #18 on:** October 31, 2007, 03:20:13 PM »

I don't care as long as the quality is the same.

Do you care where the tree is coming from? If it's from a planted wood or from some sacred old forest.

Yep... unfortunately Bareback is hecho en Mexico. At least Mexico is part of North America which is close to the US. Support North American wood!
