Because using one of those slingshot things is a bitch move. Real skaters push.

As a skater and an office dwelling yuppie, the skate case remains irrelevant to my interests.

Having said that, it's probably great for smuggling meth!

Wooden skateboards aren't sustainable. Tennis players don't wooden racquets, Hockey Players don't use wooden sticks, surfers don't use wooden boards, golfers don't use wooden clubs, they all used too. I don't buy the argument that wood is the snappiest, it's not. Companies probably just wouldn't sell as many if they made longer lasting better boards.

Comparing a skateboard to a golf club, tennis racket, or hockey stick is just wrong. Literally incorrect and invalid.
I should've trusted my gut and not clicked on this shitty thread.

Its because of people like you man, god damn. I guess its a trade of though, skateboarding is still the shit but we have to deal with thick headed people and the $50 pieces of shit planks. Its just not proportional: if you bought $50 running shoes they would last a year

Baseball anyone? Field hockey? Archery?

I can see your point, but I don't think wood is going anywhere. I was never mad at Fury's that had the bolts built in.

the only thing that worked for me is the powerbeam construction, pretty solid with that kevlar top...
the downside: landing on a strong board makes it harder on the knees when landing a trick.

Tried most constructions out there, chopped a few to see whats inside and most of them dont seem to work.
remember the tech drops? the actual drop (carbon plate or something) didnt reach out from under the trucks at all so it doesnt do anything for the board, probably just makes it weaker...

I'm not even the biggest Motorhead fan, but this statement (and every other one you type) is so fucking stupid, I genuinely wish I could punch you in the face so much.

I remember seeing ads in the back of Thrasher for Nu Wood in the mid 90's. Reminding me that Nu Metal exists made these seem twice as terrible.

Have any grip companies every tried mixing a little crumb rubber (shredded tires) in the grit formula? I feel like if a grip company could maintain grip and extend the life of skate shoes by even half or a third it'd be worth it.

i had a friend that swore by these in the 90s (& he ripped). a board would last him a year. he also exclusively rode Titan trucks. he quit skating to be a bodybuilder and makes a fortune now running a bootcamp for fat housewives.

Fuck, I knew that dude! Kind'a long hair and he could do cab flips on flat with that fucking board every time... I tried his out before and didn't get it, it flexed soooo bad.
