| The wood coming out of Jim's woodshop is currently the best I've seen in decades. Amazing maple! So dense! |

| It's easier to tell you who isn't. But that's not fully accurate either. For example, Powell and PS Stix do their price points in China but their pro decks are still done in the US. |

mmmm you're not perhaps biased for "some" reason eh? mmmmmm 
Amor~1
I am absolutely biased.
I've reshaped several ABC decks as of late, and they are fucking murder to cut and sand. I've never encountered sugar maple of this density -- it's even denser than the birdseye maple I used to use to make guitar necks with which is traditionally denser than suger maple, which is the status quo in skateboard manufacturing.
My bias is based on facts and real world experience.
I don't know what you're getting at Amorone, I can only assume you're dilluded or just being an ass with the assumption I'll let it slide.
Yes, I sell a number of products produced by ABC (not much of a secret), but everything I sell has to be exceptional or I'm not interested. Of the 9 deck lines I currently carry, 2 are made at ABC. The majority of the lines I carry are manufactured by Madrid. If their quality drops, they drop.
I actually dropped one of ABCs product lines recently because, although the wood was incredible, the graphics were horrid.
So, if you have something to say, say it. Don't pussy foot around, assclown.
And what the fuck is with this rampant use of emoticons. One does suffice, more than one is just fucking annoying. |

hahaha Did I strike a nerve !!! Too friggin easy! Maybe I struck the wrong nerve....one I am not aware of fully....all I meant, dearest Slob, is that you and I discussed many months ago how Shitbird got dicked over by his woodshop and had switched to Jim Gray and ABC...a move for the better/best...as you and Shitty are so tight,I thought it (the "rah rah" for ABC) was your subtle way of promotion...if something else got you worked up , sorry biggin.
