experimental decks

Ok so basically what I wanna do is take your guys ideas and make em come true. basically I wanna make the sickest strongest board. while experimenting with different technologies, like resin filled layers, fiberglass, plastic cores, metal cores, etc. Who's down?

That sounds like a good idea. Go for it!

i need ideas though
im gunna make more than one

make one out of plastic but with wooden core. Or make a mini version of the Uber light

brian, you are a genius. what if i did one like the double impact decks

Make a double impact deck like Almost.

Do the plies like this:

Burl
Metal Core
Burl
Plastic Core
Burl

or have some decks with double the amount of impact in them.

Plastic is very hard to work with. Because when you cut it the plastic melts.

platic and metal are very dificult to bond with because i dont have the correct contact adhesives yet. but i dont know of any board with a plastic core in them.

Because its very hard to work with. Make a full plastic metal deck. If you do that I get one!

Yea impact support would be cool, but it wouldn't help cuz its IMPACT support, your not really putting a lot of weight or pressure when you land on the deck. In fingerboarding, the more solid a deck is = longer lasting pop

Jim already makes the strongest decks. Sorry full metal CNC decks. Can't beat them. Ahaa.

I agree with you there

I personally wouldn't buy a full metal deck

Neither would I

You should consider it if you want the strongest deck ever. Metal has the nicest pop. It's also precision machined. So, basically, it will never wear out.

Wood is much more natural, if you know wut I mean when I say that

hahahahahah

If you want wood for the bottom coat but you still want an extremely solid pop you're going to want to use a hardwood, with the grain running horizontal with the deck (Kick to kick, not side to side) and you're going to want to use some epoxy as a lacquer, and then spray lacquer over the coat of epoxy.

IMO, i think the less you to to the wood the better. The deck stays more natural like I said before(i had no pun intended lol)
The lacquer is just there to protect the wood and bring out the beauty of the wood, and to also made the deck solid overall. just make decks dude, im fine with a deck having a "metal heart"
but thats just it.

carbon fiber is the way to go. but only if you tension it right
