Has anyone ever skated a Skateboard Cafe deck? It is a british brand, which has some nice graphics and they are fairly cheap to get in Germany.

This might be the wrong place to ask, but does South Central have a shape chart that shows wheelbases? I've always liked Politic boards, but I haven't had one since I started paying attention to WB. I checked both Politic's and South Central's websites with no luck
I don't really understand what's going on and I haven't read this thread yet, but I can tell I'm angry.

moved from factory in China to another factory in China. EXCEL
I have no beef with boards made in China as long as the QC is maintained.

I thought it was the same factory but they ramped up the quality.....nevertheless looks like the new boards are better, Ben mentioned that his didn't sog out or anything.

Ideally I'd rather have them make less boards but through generator but I can see that they aren't gonna do that so this is a better option. I guess with so many companies going through the same shops it might be tough w crail as they manufacture a ton of product.  You see how FA has to switch off, I bet that's problematic.  I agree if there is no viable shops in NA and they can control,the quality control in China than so be it...

Skating a Chocolate right now and my experience has been pretty good. I love Crail shapes and the way they have them codified so you know what you're getting. To me that's their biggest strength. No they are not BBS level durable, but they've improved for sure and Chocolate still puts out some of the best graphics in my opinion so I'll keep skating them.

That could be the case. I don't know for sure.

Last shop board I rode was a Liberty board shop damn near a decade ago.

I heard from multiple shops/sources that Chapman is going through some issues right now. Pretty sure those companies using Chapman have switched to Generator. For how long I don’t know.

Sucks because Hopps boards in 8 and 8.125 are my favourite.
[close]

I had friends making boards through chapman and theyd consistently fuck up orders and send wrong quantities. they also had a woodshop in maine that closed down last year and i think that has a huge part of why everyone has been leaving them.
[close]

I also haven't heard great things about Chapman. I've seen kids break brand new boards that were from a local brand manufactured through Chapman. Maybe they use less quality wood for smaller brands opposed to Zooyork or whoever else they work with

Their boards are quality. I don't think I've ever broken a chapman

I watched a CCS product test with them last night, it’s two little bumpers in the ply at the nose and tail that supposedly make it a lot harder to chip and keep its shape longer. I don’t know how much I trust these videos but compared to the other Santa Cruz they had along side it it held up well

Powerply was a term they used in 80s:

They said that it’s more resistant to chipping but I’m wondering if they are also more resistant to breakage?

anyone has info about where antiz and frank boards are pressed?

skated my antiz several times in the rain and it's still great.
[close]

Antiz and Frank are made in a German factory called Medicin/MDCN.

Not sure who else does boards there.

Quality is ok but not Generator.


Hello Giza

That is just totally Wrong.
So please don't spread information you don't have.

Thanks

What is the standard for manufacturers to determine the, "Quality" of wood?  Every batch must be different.  It is trees after all.  Just curious what processes wood nerd guys like PS go though when a new batch comes in.  How many are rejected?  What makes a batch good?  People on here talk about pros getting the, "Good wood."  How do they test it?   

Skaters just get the end product and generally go by feel and durability.

you mean batches of veneers? I would assume better quality is related to fewer knots and inconsistencies in individual veneers.

The 8 and 7.875 i skated all had a 14,1 to 14.25 inch whelbase, measured from the bottom.
The 8.2x I measured was quite below 14.25, all Decks from around 2016-2017.

You can find the wb for bigger sizes on tactics or Skatewarehouse, dunno if they are right.

They´ve been excel this whole time, possibly just some improvements at the factory.
