The ones in that photo are only 'samples' (they're not welded in all the places they should be) just for show, just for retailers/customers to look at, not for sale.

Hella pumped for Addict though.
 
Ven vas it in tha Uk DAAWWG?
(When was it in the Uk Doggy?)

I thought they had it in the skatehut shop? I don't know.

On the top shelf.

yeah i held pretty much all of them they were pretty close to the final product to be honest for people saying headtube looks weak there is an arch welded to the headtube and to the bottom of the deck for impact absorsion[excuse spelling]
 
I just spoke with Johann Moreau yesterday, and he told me that Keke is in China right now to control the sales. He said that it would be out before christmas. Hopefully.

fsp own their own factory which means they choose the workers and quality control, making it there is the same as making it anywhere else in the world but cheaper on materials, you all act as if it is a 3rd world country who have zero education. if you actually know about chinese manufacturing, you would know why most business goes there rather than your own country

I dont understand why the headtube is still welded to the top of the deck, it's just weak.

i once thought this but if welded correctly with the correct method like the v2i, its actually a benefit, no weak spot welds at the bottom which is how all decks welded though the bottom tend to do. it wouldnt be on an addict if it wasnt good enough

I sense some racism down here



Aren't you Americans have like 90% of what you wear produced in China?

wtf? im not racist lol i didnt even know the guy was foreign...

just look at the history of the quality of products that get made in china, sorry i dont think Addict is going to be a gem for some odd reason. Proride used to make parts in China and they were crap, so they stopped and now the decks last 6-8 months which is longer than most MGP's ive seen and ALL districts...

but thanks for informing me that they actually go there and over look the process, it makes me feel more optimistic.

im not jumping to conclusions, im the only one who has actualy put some thought into this instead of jumping on the bandwagon of rider owned companies. i could have had a nice discussion about it but i got mad because he called me a "fucking idiot" for no reason. but its all good idc what he thinks anymore...

exactly, all you kids are jumping on the bandwagon, have you ridden the deck? no, have you tried their parts? no. seriously you cant vouch for something you have never used, or only used for 5 minutes because you have no idea how it will age and how long it will last.

i rode johhans today and spent awhile looking at the construction, i need no more convincing that it is going to be the best deck out. you pretty much cant from an engineering point of view, make any better than what it is without going through space age materials

but how long it will last is whats concerning me. none of us would know that besides the addict riders and they're not gonna tell us if their parts are shit or not, soo we'll just have to wait and see.

where is that tyler?

That's my photo. I work at SkaterHQ. These are the full range of sample decks that we have.

Also - They're being made by FSP. It's taken so long to get them out because of tweaking of designs, etc. Due to this, I can't imagine these parts being anything short of amazing.

im the guy who put holes in a district v2i (my current ride) and many other scooters without them breaking so i have a very good understanding on structure of decks and i believe these will last as long as a district v2i or even longer, these guys put these through hell by what i seen and they dont even bend. i will ask them how long they last if you want a direct answer on that but i have nothing but faith knowing these are better (not stronger than) all other decks. this is revolutionary stuff whether you can see it or not.
