Is the board surface the most important part of skateboard parts? The choice of board surface has a great influence on your skateboarding performance. Next, I'll tell you about the surface knowledge of skateboarding. Come and find out!
The shape of the skateboard. This is the most commonly used criterion for choosing skateboards. When choosing a shape, you need to pay attention to many factors. Length, width, plate head length, plate tail length, bridge distance. Most skateboards are between 7.5 inches and 8 inches wide.
Some of them are narrower or wider, but most are less than half an inch apart. Better get familiar with it? Inches? This unit, because the boards on the market and online are inches, it is very troublesome to convert them into centimeters.
There are other aspects to pay attention to when choosing a skateboard. If your board is broken and cracked, you need to replace it with a new one.
If the tail brake is used frequently, the edge of the tail will become sharp. It's called. Puffin? In this way, the tail of the board is easily broken into small pieces, and then the elasticity of the board will be reduced.
Water and cracks will also reduce the elasticity of the plate. All these factors will affect the elasticity (or length, if you like) of the board.
As far as durability is concerned, no board has an absolute advantage. Most of the board faces are 7-layer boards, which are bonded together with 7-layer thin plates.
Some companies claim that their boards are very light, and most of them use thinner boards, or fewer layers, or cross plywood.
These methods make your board a little lighter, but also make it a little weaker. Some companies even add more layers or enlarge the footwell of the board to increase its durability.
Some companies have adopted different practices or innovations in the board structure. Like Flip? New wave construction? Patented technology, add a layer of corrugated hard strip on the surface of the plate to increase the performance of the plate.
Really adopted by the company? Triple beam structure? Use 7 layers of plywood, 3 of which are cross-glued. This greatly increases the flexibility and durability of the board.
If your board is hard, you can give full play to its performance. If it is spongy (caused by water or excessive distortion), then its performance is not good. But if it is too hard, it will become fragile.
And then there's an intermediate value, right? Skateboarding companies are innovating every day, trying to make themselves masters of skateboarding manufacturing technology. But we still haven't found a better way.
