Is the bottom text extra?

Yes, but the benefit is that you can drop a bowling ball on it.

Fp is doing a sale 50% off if you use TAKE50. Tempted to try their shoes.

FP were compromised because they’re dumb and have like 5 different e-commerce sites. (Funny enough, they’re claiming it’s a “fake” website, but that’s so not true lol) This 50% code was sent out by their compromised site to their email list. FPfootwear dot com is the only place to order from right now.

Can I get these insoles at 50% - yes or no will do.   

[Allen.]

The last time they had one of those sales, I bought two pairs of game changers and a pair of the thin flat ones - they were out of the ‘graphic’ I ordered of the game changers so they gave me one replacement pair (of the thin flat ones) and a “free” pair of the thin flat ones ignoring the game changers I ordered for work etc. they ignored my emails.

Compromised in what way? Their proprietary formula stolen and the other sites are fakes? The other sites are undercutting JB by shipping directly from the China factory for less?

Very curious, because I really like my fp insoles, and I’ll need to replace eventually.

Edit: well there go:

Been there. They double charged me, “sent me a refund,” and when I told them I never received it, they said it was because “the bank refused it.” Okay, that is not how the bank works. Can you just send the order again, so I have something to show for my missing money?? Not even crickets..

There is something slightly hilarious about the idea of FPInsoles being corrupted by organized crime

I know it really isn't on sale but the pricing itself makes it technically.... on sale... lol. I ordered a set of shoes from Walmart and they are Etnies for 30 bucks. You can check the latest "What shoes you're wearing" thread for pictures of my new purchase. Shipping was $6.99 for me but here in Minnesota, we don't have taxes on clothing, including shoes and sports jerseys and stuff. So that saves me a bit of money.

I filtered out the above so that the Etnies that are selling, are actually from Walmart retail and not other companies selling on Walmart.

i honestly don’t know if you’re trolling or not, this dude’s technique is all wrong and it won’t wear shoes down the way a proper kickflip would. he kicks them down, his shits bounce of the ground, that’s not how you’re supposed to kickflip

This is my new favorite YouTube channel lol

The music instrument videos are even better than the skating ones

Are they terrible?  7.75 is my size and never on sale

[rocklobster]

Control decks feel middling, they "sound" waterlogged but aren't, which can be an immediate turn off for people, something about the lack of concave on the kicks gives a dull thud but other than they they perform just fine at $16 for a shop deck. Just don't expect the same crispy feel of a BBS.

Anyone else feel like Control wood gets soggy extra fast?

I tried a bunch of their blanks and I echo Ben's experience. Brand new they never felt as stiff or snappy as I liked even with the steep or medium concave boards. Something about the flatness on the nose / tail contributed to the softness and I could never get the timing right on my tricks. Sound of the tail tapping the ground is very unscientific but they did not sound as crisp as they should, contributing to an overall mediocre experience. Rode 2 decks and retired them well before my standard 6 weeks.

Rave uses Control and my friend loves their boards, they hold up well for him despite being heavier and taller than me.

I like that they have a catalog of shapes (twin nose, twin tail, twin tip with 1 steeper tip) and concaves. But like Ben said they feel like shop board territory.

Just buy 303 boards. On sale you can grab like 5 for 109$ shipped.

I’ve had a mixed bag with control. The last one I had was good.


Primitive is doing a new subscription. If you subscribe at $19.99 a month you get 50% off the whole store.

[fakie nollie]

That seems like a really bad business decision. Maybe I’m misreading this, but couldn’t you get the membership for one month, buy as many boards as you want at 50% and cancel?

I guess it says “up to 50%” so not a guaranteed 50

Yup.  Put one in my cart and noped out with $17 dollar shipping and $5 "order protection".
Edit:
Ended up getting a $35 Anti Hero and $28 Spitfire F4s with free shipping from the dreaded Zumiez

Hopps is one of my favorite companies ever. Always wanna buy decks but don’t wanna get stuck with clutch. Maybe I’ll grab some softgoods and mags to support though. Thanks for the heads up
