i've ridden one and i didn't like it
it was chip-happy and didn't maintain shape to long. it had nice concave though but since it only lasted about 3 weeks i didn't gat another one cause i thought i should try somethig else. it was also my first pro board. i thought they were ok but not crap

i dont know what blinds you are riding but mine has kept its shape perfectly and the pop and concave are one of the best ive rode on.

Lose pop too quick
Chip Easy
Break Easy
Don't have good concave
I don't like thier shape
They're a sellout
Their graphics are the only reason why some people like them

Yeah pretty much graphics are the only reason people buy them, they lose pop really fast, chip non-stop, and break easy.

i don't like blind because the deck i had, lasted a week before the tail delamed... like... fully, the top 2 ply's seperated from the rest, i really liked that deck too, such nice shape and i got some decent ollies on it, i ollied 3 decks on that thing, then it fell apart

They're a sellout because most kids only buy them because of their graphics so that's why the sell so many.

if u land it then ur board would braek faster because a huge amount of pressure would be applied on it as opposed to try something big and having it fly away from u.

no cause if you launch your board into a wall, down big set then it will chip. it doesnt chip if u land it and it wont brake if u land over the bolts cause the pressure is equal.

but if you land something big and a comany sees you do it and sponcor you then bang...free decks that dont suck

"it wont brake if u land over the bolts cause the pressure is equal."
actually, that's bullshit, i broke a deck whilst landing on the bolts, it just separated in the middle, i ended up sitting on my nuts on the floor cause i did the splits.

Dude, you'll get more props for trying the big shit than landing the little shit. And when my board chips it's because I land on the non-gripped side sometimes.

The only blind i ever tried to skate convinced me to never buy one. It felt bad and i couldn't do tricks on it that i could do on my board , i just couldnt get used to the shape but i should probably try to ride one again before i go to harsh on them. I always thought their graphics sucked.

You wanna know how and why there ****ing sellouts? And btw of course its there fault if kids by the decks, its called target audience, there made for posuers rode by posuers, but what gets me the most is blind were so dope, In the days of jason lee and videos days a great company just so ****ing corporated these days.

no, it's because they are the 'graphic decks' a long with worl industries.....all the newer skaters buy blinds because they have good graphics and they probaby have the biggest selection of boards on the market

thats basiclly what i said, of tried to because i was blinded (no pun intended) by rage. And if they did sell out then that means they had to be respectable in the first place which they were.

Cos blind are 9 ply decks which mean they r heavier and fat, eurgh dirty. i hate the graphics all the little kids just buy them cos they r cool, oh dear

^ 9 ply decks arnt all bad, look at darkstar decks...they are 9 ply and are incredably strong and have a lot of pop

Man thats bullshit, whos ur so called 'friend'? and if it broke easily the first time then why did your 'friend' keep buying them. Seen as though your 'friend' went through so many of them. lol Break to easy, no offense but do u even skate because ur posts tell me otherwise.
