Customs finally arrive....and they're sh!t. A venting thread

[ghostshaper]

had a magic xanadu in early 90s gerlach era

I had a handshape from him. Taj Burrow ended up buying it used from me for the US Open.

 

[laidback]

Craigslist?

 

[ghostshaper]

Craigslist?

no, I threw it in the boardroom at HSS when I worked there as a grom

 

[ANIMA]

No. I can't do that. I won't do that. My shapers need to know that their stuff is their stuff. Nobody gets to use their files. No compromise. And most of them would NOT want to give a fledgling shaper a step up. The outlook would be that you are training/helping your future competition. You can pay me to design for you. A fair number of shapers do. 2 bucks a minute.

YOu sound like the opposite of Vulcan.

I have had low success on customs. Not worth the effort to me anymore.

 

[casa_mugrienta]

Some people set themselves up for failure.

try tim stamps. very consistent. get a shaping appt and bring in the boars u like and talk numbers. i did that with my last 2 customs and they came out perfect.

the other guy who is tops is parmenter but they are now unobtainium. Glad I have 5 parmys in my quiver. all are flawless.

Is Dave on hiatus or sneak away down under? Tried to get a custom MP but was back and forth with emails going no where so I gave up.

Do you even hipster, bro?

last time I tried to get a mandala (years ago) he was back logged and told me to order from his wife instead as they share some of their files.

 

[casa_mugrienta]

sorry manny cairo not the same caliber as parmenter

he’s a great shaper but parmy is like guru status.

angry hipster rant in 3, 2, 1...

You must be new here...or lacking overall knowledge in hipster, alternative radness.

so what brand does he shape?

 

[bluemarlin04]

Oh lol.

Shapes mandalas. Never heard of the guy or the brand.

I got one somehow. Think someone traded me a longboard I had for it. I never used the longboard and it wasn’t selling and some random on Craig’s said he had this.

Full carbon fiber. Never used it.

Are his boards any good? Maybe I’ll wax it off and give a shot.
