What is your opinion on the price of fingerboarding stuff

Personally I think it is slightly overpriced. Brr obstacles are way to much for me so I just make my own I think wheels are a good price becuase it's not that easy to get your hands on the parts but I think some decks are too expensive

well if you look at a brr box2, which costs 17 dollars, you have to think about the coping, the labor to put it together,the sanding and making it perfect, and the most expensive thing, the wood. If you ever look at the wood, its not like 3 plies or solid like other 1/4 or 2/4, its like 6 plies of very thin expensive wood, and when they buy it, it costs them alot of money. and you cant forget, they have to turn a prophet

Compared to actual skate products, things are way over priced. BRR Trucks are around $80, while actual trucks are around $40 a set. Granted BRR axle pins are replaceable, but honestly, what is the likely hood that you are going to lose an axle pin on a single axle truck? If constructed properly, you wouldn't. I've never broken an axle pin on any real skate trucks. I've cracked the hanger on Tensor magnesiums but never have I even cracked an axle pin. Wheels are expensive as hell. They cost more than a new set of real wheels.

I do not blame the fingerboarding companies for charging what they do because they do the same thing as every other corporate model out there: Charge what the market will bear.

I do wish stuff would be cheaper, like a set of wheels for 15 that would be amazing!

jace are like 16
but the reason for brr trucks being to expensive is because the mold costed liek 30,000 dollars and the material that they use to actually make the trucks costs alot along with having to turn it into a liquid form, then for kingpins,screws,axles,nuts,stickers,the tool,and the bushings, its alot to make

yes but they are mass produced, which should make them cheaper, but yes they do cost a lot to make

but ever notice, it costs like 26 for the bushing, kingpins, and axles, and 14 for the tool, so then the trucks are like 50

true they will eventually come down in price im guessing

everything is really over priced but the quailty is really good. all of the materials are expencive for example urathane for the wheels or veenner. but i would honestly pay the extra amount of money for things knowing im getting a quailty item that will last. rather than buying a cheap little thing that will wear out in like 3 months. and besides being cheap is expencive

I think they are a little pricey but if you think about how hard they try to make there product good so they can be a good company then i think its worth the price of how much they cost.

you're right but big name trucks make alot of sales. brr payed $30,000 for their mold. brr cant afford their mold. big trucks can

I just think they could cover the initial cost of the mold if they lowered the price by $20 a lot faster. They would sell more trucks faster, which can add up.

yes

depends on what ur buying and the cost to produce the product, and standards of living is different all over the world. take note about that.

If you think about it, its harder to make a smaller version of a larger thing, thats just as precise. This is also why brrs are so expensive. All custom tools and molds ect would have to be made.
what skate trucks are $40 in the us??
theyre like £50 in the uk, that works out at like $90
