decks

How  often  you break  the deck  and to you use   some method  to prevent the deck braking ?   4 weeks ago  i got   my new  132 cm  Boyd hill  Snowdeck    and  i had   greatest  runs of  my  life  until   i  brake  the deck after one week    of riding   doing some  cliff jumps   ,   i attached  one extra skateboard deck  to original Boyd hill deck and now i can  ride at least  i am waiting   my   New Ralston at the moment and   i ordered one extra deck  for my Boyd Hill  sub  ,   but i think i will loose the risers and    cut out  risers from old  skateboard deck  to make   skatedeck   stronger    last 5 years   i have being breaking 2-3 deck   per season  to much wasted money

If you have the resources you could try and press your own deck, maybe use fiberglass or carbon for added strength if you can afford it. Do a ton of research on pressing skateboard decks before you try anything tho. Nothing is worse than spending 100 bucks on a vacuume bag and finding out you dont have the right size veneer to be pressed in it.

Just get a PoolKing skateboard, the slight flex on the composites might survive the big stomps of cliff dropping.

I press my own decks it's not so easy, and can be very costly. The hydroloc press makes a better bored but is expensive even with makein the press yourself. But if you got the time and resources it's awesome. I will have some snowskate decks available next season still in the prototype mode.

Is there a specific detail, excluding proper marine grade Sealant, that differentiates a deck built for the street versus a deck built for snow?

[zak123]

No, just the size unless you ride a smaller sub and use a regular size skate deck. Alot of the snowskate top decks are bigger in size. A poolking deck would work great they make some big decks.

I figured if the board has a wheelbase of 17"( or more) it is pretty much good for an all mountain snowskate setup.

Mark at Chillerdeck is making some decks with plastic base material on the bottom, if you are looking for something indestructible, he might be a good resource

Ive been making longboards with and without composites for almost a 8 months now, if anyone is interested I could start selling snowskate specific decks. Any thoughts?

[zak123]

I have a friend who uses his long board as his top deck. He has like a 4 ft long straight ski on the bottom it hauls a$$.

Here it is Broken Boyd Hill with  Wallmart 20 dollar skateboard   and it works   really well  considering   that upper deck is broken ,  raisers should be already wider  then they support deck
