Real skateboard's 3 Ply wooden risers

[fulfillthedream]

id be willing to try them. anyone currently using risers?

[Idk]

I don’t but if it’s made by deluxe might as well never get wheel bite again. I ride Venture His 52s.

[sharkin]

T, V, U?
Thunder, Venture, Universal?

[GardenSkater77]

If it cuts down on the dead feel of plastic risers it should be a good product.

[Youoverthere]

T, V, U?
Thunder, Venture, Universal?

I was wondering about that too, but that sounds like it’s right.

Why are these branded real and not just DLX? To align with real wood or the brand name?


Need to know if universal fits Ace

I can't imagine the soggyness feel if they get wet when your board rolls into a puddle.

I'l let you know Thursday. I have some Thunder and Universal on the way.

If the plys are untreated, I wonder if a coat of lacquer would help or just defeat the purpose.

$8 for riser pads?? I get wood costs more, but also what problem do they solve to justify buying over plastic risers?

They look cooler and they're not made of plastic

Plastic risers make your board go thud. It deadens ur shit. The theory is that wood will feel like you have no risers except for the added height. You could maker risers out of aluminum, or make a tall base plate. I agree that $8.00 a set is steep, but risers are molded and the wood ones have to be cut and drilled. They are probably making by hand until they determine if there is a market and then automation should come in and maybe the price will drop.

i saw on ville westers ig that he was using metal riser pads, looked like an extra baseplate on his trucks

Looks to me like they are doing them to perfectly fit under the baseplates of Thunder and Venture, no overhang, which so far I have not been able to find via plastic risers. This will be much cleaner, dissipate energy in a way more similar to the non-riser setup because it is metal against wood, and also be better for noseslides because no overhang.

I'm assuming their "universal" one is geared towards Indy baseplates, so should be little or no overhang.

But you need the lil plastic bit to hang over the edge to give you that tensor effect

tough to see exactly

[TumKayo]

Was thinking about grabbing these, but will wait till I see them in store next year. I personally like soft-ish risers, and don’t notice too much energy loss.

Jay_Nev, prestige skate shop in Boise has some, and it says the Universals fit ace.

[hobochimp]

I don’t even ride risers anymore yet I’m interested in these. Hope they become a regular product in the lineup

[Mbrimson88]

It looks more like the ones listed as Venture are more Universal, as they have either option and would fit well under slightly moved bolts like Ace trucks.  Venture are totally set to the end, which would be more the six hole plates.

Happy for someone to tell me otherwise, but just looking at the hole pattern and placement with the different trucks, it would seem that is the case.

I have some old silver risers from Destructo that look exactly like those.  Just normal plastic too.

he answered in a q&a on his insta that he was running metal ones

[Toadfish Rebecchi]

The people complaining about them being $8 dollars... wtf?

It’s less than lunch for something that doesn’t wear out and you can keep for years.

[Sundaynuggets]

Looks like they have some here

universal product description says - Fits Independent and ACE Trucks

[palelight]

Bobby Dekeyzer was running these (or something just like them) back when they dropped that Spitfire collaboration last year. Looks like they fit Thunder plates perfectly.

Nice! 

They look crazily torn up on the outer end though, so makes me wonder what kind of stuff he is getting into.

In looking at the pics again, I see from the close up he has new everything except the risers, so his old board is most likely smashed and grinded to nothing.

[Murge]

Somewhere I saw Tiago running like nickels or quarters as riser pads. I’m pretty sure it was a video someone posted on slap.

[johnes]

That’s a cool idea but personally I like my semi floppy plastic rubber risers. The ones that feel and smell like car tires.

[Roger__Kook]

Frank explains them with many details here:

[Diocletian]

Kinda cool, but I feel like even cheap plastic risers will hold up longer than wood ones. It's rad that now there's a fixed hole riser that will fit thunders perfectly.
