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?

Focus that shit while you still can.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 18, 2010, 10:47:05 PM »

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