Bareback

Thank you Jake from State Farm

[Dad you're embarrassing me]

I've always avoided boards made in China because I assumed they were inferior quality, but the creature I'm on atm said made in China on the wrap, and it's hands down one of the best boards I've ridden in ages! (usually skate black label or antihero).
Does anyone know what woodshop Creature use? Are all NHS boards made in China?

I think they are. I had a Flip board recently that also had a China sticker on the shrink wrap.

NHS wood is very good, ( at least Sc and Creature ) but it is all Chinese except the P2 decks. I think their quality control and their wood source is better quality than most.

I will attest to this. NHS boards actually are good quality, despite being made in China. However, when I bought a Justin Strubing Santa Cruz Powerply board a few years ago, it did delaminate, but NHS replaced it ASAP and I skated the replacement for a very long time with no trouble.

All NHS wood (Flip/Creature/SC) is 'China' wood' no one really knows where the wood comes from I don't think.

Their wood is amazing, some of the best out there. I actually prefer them over any other wood brand, but they have odd dimensions of late.

Does anybody know if Black Label is still PS Stix? 

[Cherb]

Does anyone know where Blood Wizard boards are made?!

Does anyone know where Blood Wizard boards are made?!

I've been trying to figure this out for over a year now.

One thread mentioned they were a sister company to dwindle (whatever that means) but the BW decks are thinner, flatter and more flexible (yet still crispy).

I've asked them directly a few times via different means and it's always the same answer "In the forest, by the Wizard". I'm assuming they are pressed over seas,

I find it very odd that outside of PS stix (because the decks are essentially branded), Almost being openly pressed in China, Hammers in SC, Scumco&Sons in Pennswood and the barback/generator co.s, that few companies and woodshops want to own up to where their shit is pressed. I mean, Watson (assault) and Chapman are US based but so few brands come out of them that we know of.

If I new more Cal based shops, I'd by from them in a second.

santa cruz and creature are dsm, just arent labelled like all dwindle boards and some of the palace boards

It's Generator/BBS. I'm skating one now.

[Dengles]

Who presses Skatemental now?  I really like the 3D board I had last winter and wanted another but now that they no longer exist I guess I'll have to get a Skatemental. 

[ChuckRamone]

ATM Click? Kinda looks like it's pressed in Mexico but not sure.

[JAesop]

That would explain why the Cliche deck I just skated felt so much like my SC deck. The Cliche was actually really good, a little thick but really durable.

Still China Wood.  Same factory they've been at for a while.  (Yes I know there was a stint of PS Stix wood w/the VX Cruiser) But they couldn't get the turn around they wanted so they are still in China and not planning to transition from what I've heard.

This current version of Prime is about as similar to the early 90's Prime as the current World industries is to SMA Rocco division.

The guy who owns Prime now is goodwood, which presses zumiez shit.

[Lance]

They used to do Listen Decks as well, if they are still the same type quality will be hyped as those decks/shapes were awesome!

[ill_Murray]

Prime is doo doo quality

That's a pretty legit answer they gave haha. I don't skate hard by any means anymore, but the board does feel nice and "crispy" for sure. Doesn't seem to be shit quality wood.

Recently I was recently told by two shop employees at different shops that 5boro is actually pressed at Chapman. I was playing around with the boards and they seemed more solid than other Chinese decks.

Can anyone confirm or deny. Would love to get the Trahan board but I won't buy Chinese manufactured boards if I don't have to.

All the new 5 Boro Decks (The 3 new Pro VHS Series) Were/are pressed at South Central.  It's only for the time being.  From the horses mouth.

And before the current series being at South Central, they were overseas.

What does everyone prefer more? Pennswood, South Central, or Chapman? I used to be all about Pennswood when I was doing Heavy, but now I'm considering doing Chapman for my shop boards. Been skating nothing but Hopps lately.

Damn.  I would happily buy a 5 Boro deck if they kept the production with South Central

I've only ever skated (that I know of) SC wood (a run of PP and Hammers); brands that use the other two tend to not be in my size of WB; I hear watson isn't doing too bad these days either. Isn't churchill still pressing?

[Lt. Dan]

Does anyone know where all I need skateboards is made and how the wood is? Also any info on create skateboards? Has anyone tried either of these or pizza?
