Just wondering, how many of you have tried an aluminum skateboard? Does anyone know anything about them? If you have tried one, did you like it or not? Why? Furthermore, why am I asking all of these questions?

Because I'm new, THAT'S why.

Thanks

Sorry man...:tongue:

they arnt good dood.i always thought they wouldve been great,but everytime you pick up your board... ouch


or worse


imagine a shiner!? thatd be like taking a sword to your shin.

;) +Rep

Yeah, ouch!

The other threads were more than 2 months old. No one would look at them. SOOOO...

What would make you want to skate an aluminum board? Would you skate a board if an entire ply was made out of aluminum?

If you've skated an aluminum skateboard, how thick was it? 2mm?

Thanks

okay! Sorry about the searchbar. hehe...

..... Aluminum boards aren't entirely alumnium, jeez, some of you guys are going all like "OW IT WOULD HURT SO SO MUCH ON TEH SHINS" but.. it's actually only one layer of aluminum inside and surrounded by wood like a regular board.

I haven't tried one, but they should be not much different from any other deck except for the tad bit of aluminum. Just get a regular maple wood one.

Now, what would you think of the idea of a TOTALLY aluminum board? That's what I've been talking about the whole time. xD

When I say "entire ply", I mean an entire ply out of seven plys.

I assumed he was talking about the idea of a skateboard made all out of aluminum. Its been done before. And I think you are mistaken...

Most skateboards have a CARBON insert, not aluminum, because aluminum isn't very strong.

Hopefully, this'll get things cleared up...

please post!
Merging doublepost
Sorry...but I must say...aluminum is quite strong.

Which would you pick? Totally aluminum (strong and light if made right) or 6 wood plys: 1 aluminum ply?

MADNESS!, some kids on this board seem to have an aluminium board stuck in their... anyway, i would rather keep a wooden board, if aluminium was a better material for boards then wouldnt they just use that?.. but its not, wood is the best so they use wood. WOOD. WOOD IS GOOD.

Oh hahaha rofl mah bad bro. I thought you were saying the entire deck.

All right. There. Getting chastised for too many doubleposts and spamming. sorry *sheepish look*

Ehh, get a regular deck bro

this thread is a mess.
just like your skating if you get an aluminum deck.

just get a Bacon board

Okay. I know that people think aluminum boards are bad. BUT WHY???????????????? (besides literal razor tail)

buyb any reg deck dont experiment just skate.


and i'v got to say, big big big has an abundant amount of neg reps.

this guy seems to like them:

Oh yeah. Noob question. What does "In before the lock" mean? *Shields self from neg-reps for not knowing terminology*

{p)

when you know an admin is going to lock a thread. some people post this before it gets locked. im not sure whyyyyyy, just because i guess.

That makes enough sense...I was always curious as to what it meant, as it was in people's signatures and stuff...thanks!


:smellie_f

Sorry...just checking out the smilies. There are some cool ones on here!

it means that you get a comment in before the admin blocks the user

Alright, thanks.

BTW, I'm not interested in a new board (although that would be nice.) :icon_bigg Just curious about the dynamics and stuff of the board. Curiosity is all.

Okay, sorta like Elemental106 said, would you skate a deck if an entire ply (one out of seven) was aluminum?

So are you talking about a deck that is made ONLY from Aluminium, or partially?

I had a friend with a 100% aluminium deck. They have inserts in the tail to avoid it becoming sharp, but they wore out after a day of skating.

It was a POS imo, too heavy and made a racket when you skated it.

I am NOW talking about a deck that has 6 plys completely wood and 1 ply completely aluminum. Thanks for the post...what would you think about aluminum? (others?)

POS???

Oh, c'mon.

quite simple because they SUCK, and your funny guy, everything is funny right now, this thread and they way you talk is hilariouse.

are you trying to be funny or is it just me? haha.

You are wrong about the strength of aluminum. It is not strong. It does not have enough impact resistance to withstand skating properly, while keeping the benefits of aluminum and not becoming overall worse than wood. Your experiences with aluminum is wrong in my opinion. Do some true impact strength testing. Even just do some calculations. Or heck, just look at the density and structure. Also, aluminum would not have the same characteristics as wood. It would be like skating something different, I do not know about this. Yet what I have seen from aluminum I expect it to be true.

that aluminum deck has a 400 pound breaking point

the con of aluminum is that it feels unnatural and it vibrates the hell out of your feet
it will get gouges and stuff it it too

exactly. it wont break but will bend to ****...think soda can. easy to crush. much harder to rip open

Okay. Finally Got some answers. Does anyone know how thick those aluminum decks are (the stuff with the tips)? That would help a lot.

So, it would appear that MOST EVERYBODY would rather skate a cereal box than an aluminum skateboard. Alright. Got it.

6 PLYS WOOD AND 1 PLY ALUMINUM...NOT COMPLETELY ALUMINUM. *rips out what remains of hair*

...think soda can. easy to crush. much harder to rip open

of course, wood that thin will crush AND tear

Hmm...yeah. Right. *in all seriousness*

im going to through my 2 cents in before the lock...

i knew one guy who had an aluminum board made. it was ALL aluminum!

well, just like wood, the tail started to get a razor like shape...

one day at a park, this kid fail doing some trick that he was trying and the board cut into his leg.

i couldnt tell you all the gory details, but it was very bloody.

i highly recommend not getting one!

In before the lock statement:

is it legal to ask a mod to close this?

of course, wood that thin will crush AND tear

no...it will crack and break open lol...we can go all day on this....aluminum is better if you need something to just not break...but wood keeps shape better

In before the lock statement:

no, and you could end up in jail for a long long time. :icon_woow

Hah. No. Seriously.

In before the lock statement:

is it legal to ask a mod to close this?

yea its fine...but you're not supposed to say ibtl in your own thread lol

Yeah...but it was dying anyways...

MOD!

a thread never dies it just travels further down the list untill it eventualy ends up in the archives, where it lives forever.
