I know that I am like a broken record about this, but I can’t stress how much I enjoy these decks. And how often my friends who are skeptical about Primitive skate them and love them.

ok. what’s the fave shape? you on aces?

Whatever the common pro 8.125” deck is. Yeah, Ace trucks. The decks all have short wheelbases so if you have little legs like I do, they’re great. I imagine someone looking for a long wheelbase with their Ventures might not feel the same way.

I get the 7.75 primitive logo decks that cost $20 each. I put them on 8 inch venture lows and have a great time.

Found this shop while looking for a Grimple Huffer. Some very good deals... anyone familiar with First Gear Skate shopt?
[close]
Not familiar but the storefront shows up in google maps street view at that address which is a good start.

I just placed an order using Google Pay and got text and email confirmation, so I'll let you guys know if I get identity theft-ed

Nicely done. I nearly pulled the trigger on a First Gear order but I saw I was getting charged tax even though I live in a Oregon. Maybe that gets recalculated at a later time but most online stores never factor tax in when you are ordering from a tax free state and have your address plugged in.

Zero has the bailout mystery boxes again. 3 decks for 120 with free shipping. I just ordered one of the boxes to stack up 3 decks for 40 a piece. I know primitive, dgk and zero are doing them right now. All similar prices

If you put it on the shopping cart on the Primitive one and you just close the tab you'll get an email saying that you forgot and if you wait a bit longer you'll ger another email with a 15% code

Does anyone know which of their current decks they have for sale are BBS?  Had a couple china primitives and the shape was horrible.  Emailed them this week and this is all i got:

I would gingerly assume that any pro model deck is SUPPOSED to be BBS and that some of their team/non-pro/collab models tend to be non-BBS from time to time.

Others believe that the mystery box sales often are to offload the China wood decks that didn't sell as well as the BBS ones. All speculation since myself and others had mixed experiences with buying mystery/sale decks during black Friday, Christmas, etc. from Primitive.

When Primitive support says "newer" does that mean current drop? 3 months back? 6 months back? Who knows...

One thing to do is find your size and deck of interest on the sale and then image search or type in the deck name to see if any other shops have it. Then check their images/call them to find out if you're that invested

I’ve never had a Primitive deck which wasn’t made in China but that hasn’t seemed to effect their performance one bit.

They just jacked the $20 decks back up to $32.50. Hopefully they bring them back down to $20 again on the actual Black Friday.

Discount code doesn't stack with boards on sale unfortunately.

The mailing list discount code from Zero used to stack with the bailout boxes, haven't tried that recently.

Recently I had a Silvas made in china board and it was one of the best I've skated in the last time.

Thats good to hear, I had a desarmo and 2 gillets that were from china. All 3 had a small mellow tail and a long steep nose, kinda FA-ish without the squareness.  But Also got a silvas thats BBS and its amazing, kicks are way more balanced. Similar to the April 8.125.

Anyhow, safe to say, if the actual Black friday sale is good, ill be rolling the dice again

Pulled the trigger on a couple of pairs. Two pairs of shoes for $30 shipped?!?! I'll take the gamble, yo! There are some totally hideous shoes on their site, so hopefully I don't end up with complete shit... We shall see! Tum Yeto is doing sale decks two for $60, two shirts for $30 and wheels for $20. Picked up a couple of Glick decks while I still could...

UP TO 50% off - many are 30-35% off

Hah

Ive had my eye on most of that stuff and its been the same sale for quite some time but with black friday slapped over it

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.
