Honestly if this wasn't a topic I wouldn't have noticed he was kicked off/quit/whatever the hell
This actually is. Blind is the adio of board companies. I don't really get how it's still in business.

Tech Decks and completes
[/quote/]
you forgot that deal where they give you two decks for $75 or something. I'm pretty sure that's a fair contributer, but those tech deck pros sure are feelin that blind shit

[MrGrace]

Since the Slap boards have been around lots of you keeps saying the same thing when they talk about Blind and completes / tech decks and the Slap boards have been around a long time.
We sell boards,completes and we have tech decks
That is the same for almost every company I can think of
There is always a lot of interesting stuff to read on here and most people on here seem highly educated in all aspects of skateboarding let alone experts in its history
I've always enjoyed when people on here say that like its supposed to be some kind of insult thrown directly at us.
Like that would stop the good time and skateboarding the team is constantly up to
Seems like a lot of people are pissed about something with Blind but Creager,Craig,Sheffey,Morgan,Romar,Duncombe,Sewa and myself very much enjoy it.
So do you really want to make us sad ?
If you want tell me what you hate or like about Blind and maybe I can learn something and or fix it
Thanks Weiss

Get dwindle to do a new trilogy type video with blind almost enjoi and cliche and whatever remaining companies want to put in footage. Itd be a great video.

But honest critique?  Blind is generic as fuck.the image and footage are so bland. Its why im so hyped on LE. They might be making a bunch of mistakes but at least its fun to watch. You guys might be having the funnest time but i dont see it in the footage or the graphics. It sells so i cant blame you but then you cant blame me for not being that hyped on new footage from blind. It doesnt really carry the world industries torch as well as almost or enjoi.

hell yeah! that'd be fucking sick. i liked the whole format of the cinematographers project with a bunch of skaters. a dwindle video would be sick!

Sheppard , Craig and Creager were the 3 amigos of blind . was like digital 2-6 where they all had super sick footage . And RM vs DS round 2 really amazing stuff too .  The BS flip Craig does down that plantar gap is one of the best ever done .

Sheppard is way sick . shame he went AWOL   . Always wonderd why he and blind went quits ?

Dude could hold a fakie back nosegrind. Too bad him posting here didn't last.

[MrGrace]

Without a question I love the idea of a Dwindle video that would be really sick.
As far as Blind not being the same as the Trillogy days those were some awesome times but that was 17 years ago and lots of stuff has happened ,changed since then.I grew up loving the Bones Brigade and as I got older to know I really cherish those times just as the Trillogy era not just for  Blind but in general.

i'm going to be blatantly honest with you, Weiss. (you do all the editing and pick most of the music, right?) those aspects of current Blind videos are almost unbearable. it's like whoever does the editing/music choices is 10-15 years behind. the graphics are also very bland and lifeless. your team seems like the most random assortment of dudes who couldn't get on a better company. no identity or feel at all. the last time Blind felt like a team was when you had Gideon Choi, Corey Sheppard, James Craig and Creager on (i think GMos or Kasper were still on too, i dunno.)  i always root for you guys and i want you to be greater than you are (especially since you guys have supported Ronnie for so long,) but i'm constantly underwhelmed with everything Blind does. the company should honestly listen to us, the consumers. well, we probably aren't your key demographic, but if you ever want to gain a little bit of respect or cred from actual skateboarders who aren't 14, then you should hear us out. Blind can be so much better than it is now. please, Weiss, listen to what we're saying.

[MrGrace]

I actually do not do most of the editing but I do a a good amount of the filming if you dont like that as well.
As far as music no matter what goes into a video if all those videos had different music someone would have had the same complaint as you.
Its music and everyone has different taste. The guys choose some and I have chosen some.
As far as your comments regarding the team I totally disagree. They are all individuals that bring their own unique take on skating to the table.
They dont try and be people they are not and I respect that about all of them.
All those dudes fuck rip so if you dont like or back any of the skating Im not sure what to say to that.
So it seems like you enjoyed Blind 12-15 years ago. It was a cool era

isn't he an artist? i remember him painting on a canvas in his "what if" intro, maybe he is focusing more on that. but indeed he was sick. really represented dwindles later 90s early 2000 vibe.

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

i dunno. Just be a world industries company like you guys always were. I know you guys have opinions.

And a dwindle video is less work for all the board companies involved. Round 4? 60 frames per second? 60 frames? Whatever it is shit would be tight.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing that the team rips. The team DOES rip and is full of guys that I'm sure we would all love to see skate.

That being said...some of the graphics are very, how do I put this, underdeveloped? Yes, I love the 12-15 years ago era, but I'm also up to speed with today's skating. The only recent graphics I've enjoyed are Cliff's cartoon one and the Sheffey "Soldier's Story" board with the rip off Life logo. Those brotherhood series boards are cool, you're supporting dudes who may have fallen off over the years, great. I just think that the Kenny Grim Reeper middle finger shit is played out, time for something new. As long as you keep the og gonz logo, like you always have.

To everyone who shared their opinion thank you
I going to take this all in and try and make some new shit happen that hopefully youll be stoked on

You can do two things that will make Blind better. Turn Romar and Morgan Smith pro.

[thugnificent]

hire a new filmer/editor and marketing guy asap

[ATYPICALSLAPPOSTER]

that sucks

[MrGrace]

Thugnificent can you be more specific?
Do you not like the ads ? If so why?
What is wrong with the filming? IS there a specific part or parts?
Editing is there parts that you liked or you hated them all? If so what ones?

The reaper thing is shit.

[Applesalad]

TURN MORGAN PRO!!!

[ATYPICALSLAPPOSTER]

turn him pro

[360 frip]

Pro? Can't really see it without a sick part. BATB doesn't mean so much.

[buffalo hunter]

Blind is premiering "Tim and Henry's Pack of Lives" in August and is also reissuing a Tim Gavin and Henry Sanchez deck with the original shape.  The decks will probably be heat transfer because screen print is to expensive.

is this not sick enough for you ? he deserves it without a doubt.
