the new b/s element created

[shortty]

well i was reading this months skateboard mag and this element add caught my eye everyone knows the element featherlight well these dumbasses created the helium featherlight and the first pro to skate this shit is the new pro brent atchley here is how the board is made

element skateboards is proud to introduce helium a new innovative skateboard construction. helium skateboard construction features patented air-frame chamers builts inside the deck that add strength while drastically decreaseing weight. each of five airframe chambers within the board is hollowed meaning less wood is used resulting in lighted skateboard deck element skateboards has ever released. while weight is significantly reduced the shape of the air frame is engineerd to actually increase stregth of the board by distributing the normal stress from skateboarding equality throughout the board . helium boards are manufactured with traditional US hard rock maple guaranteed to perform and respond just like element featherlightboards. helim is the next step in the constant progression in skateboard design that element skateboards is commited to....

now some of my thoughts to this...
1)this pro is gonna wish that he never went element with the shit ass board they give him.
2)eyah strong my ass with 5 holes in this thing i would snap it like the twig the made it from in one single ollie
3)no shit sherlock its gonna be light with 5 holes in it
4)correct me if im wrong but arnt all good boards made from canadian maple instead of us maple

now this is some dumbass shit element came up with but hey *****s know element and they are gonna skate element til they arent *****s ne more

[Tilly&theOllie]

You were reading Transworld right yeah saw it too in the April issue last month. Anyway why didn't they just go with a Helium Fiberlight deck? Anyway so what's lighter the Helium Featherlight deck or a Fiberlight deck?

[sk8erdude333]

dude i just got done reading that article, yeah that board does look like crap, i was wondering why they expect us to believe its strong when it has 5 holes in the deck! and it says its the best board theyve come out with...(at the end) yeah theyre right....seeing as how all there boards are crap.

[smurf88]

I've already heard of that. It's another stupid idea by Element designed to make cash.

[sk8erdude333]

have you seen there video, elementality?

[shortty]

it says its the best board theyve come out with...(at the end) yeah theyre right....seeing as how all there boards are crap.
the best way to screw kids outta their money

[I_Eat_Emo_Kids]

have you seen there video, elementality?

Awful. So bad.

[shortty]

eyah i have it sucked ass and no i wasnt reading transworld i fond this new mag called "the skateboard mag" ive never heard of it b4 and transworld wasnt out yet so i bought this one

[sk8erdude333]

i have that video too it really does suck, i'd say the almost round 3 was awesome, oh and i thought baker 3 was the funniest skate video ive ever seen. hey "i eat emo kids" i love your user name

[spenser]

totally stupid idea when it comes to quality


totally good idea when it comes to making money

[WakeBake&Skate]

totally stupid idea when it comes to quality


totally good idea when it comes to making money
i totally agree

[shortty]

2nd that notion

[Fenrisulfr]

haha...adding hollowness makes it STRONGER? I think they're just messing with us now. It's all a big inside joke within the company.

[Tilly&theOllie]

So what's lighter the helium featherlight or the fiberlight decks?

[smurf88]

So what's lighter the helium featherlight or the fiberlight decks?
Holy shit, just shut up already.

[spenser]

it doesnt matter.

when lighter is taken to the extreme where some weirdo technology is added, its going to be crap.


skateboards are wood. theyre made to be wood. theyre best when theyre wood.

not space.

thats like saying "dude, i heard air is really strong."

LOL
And Smurf why do you always B*tch when I ask about light decks?

[Sk8 Shorty's]

he likes to start crap with people, but you get used to it fast

[edward]

yeah looks pretty weird on the cross cut. i doubt its stronger. and i don't really see a reason why decks would need to be any lighter. its not like people really have a problem bringing them off the ground. i think any lighter just feels weird, not really better, i want my board to feel solid too. someone buy one of these and tell us what you think. i liked that article in the new transworld comparing all the high tech new board designs. the new santa cruz deck actually bullet proof? what the ****? i think the black label deck with their "power-beam" will be one of the strongest, i think it'll be stronger than blind's resine-v, sounds like a good idea to have the vertical middle ply, but i think the black label's will be bettter because of the wider middle plys.

i'm only really interested in the black label deck and the new foundation deck.

[Fenrisulfr]

And Smurf why do you always B*tch when I ask about light decks?

Because it's irritating. You already (or should) know that weight doesn't matter, so whats the point of still asking?

[McJesus]

which one is this, i got the stefan one, is a mini logo a good choice

[Tilly&theOllie]

I know that weight doesn't matter smurf has b*tch about it too me a billion times I'm just curious.

[crazymonkrides]

hahahahhahahahahhaha.

Do you really think Brent Acthley cares if the board is good or not. As long as he gets paid. Its not like he skates featherlights. He probably skates regular boards shipped from element. Element is not going to give him some shitty ass gimmick to skate. He is going to get quality made skateboards. It is just like all the other brands, consumers get shitty ass boards, while the pros get top notch ones made specially for them.

[spenser]

hahahahhahahahahhaha.

100% true and i love you.

[McJesus]

100% true and i love you.

exactly
10char

[sk8rjohn7]

ya when i read it in the new issue of transworld i was like wtf? air pockets. nice way to snap the board on the first day. so now element makes boards in china, no pop, air pockets, what next?

[sean a]

hahahahhahahahahhaha.

Also even if he does get those stupid boards, if he breaks one its not like he doesn't have 10 in his trunk.

[shortty]

riiight^^ cause in all shootings they have different decks in the same spot in the same day they **** one up they walk over to thecar open the trunk boom another one

[insertnamehere]

I think we should all attack element and save the world from their evil! BURN THEM! BURN THEM!

[blind_rippa]

I never got why us skateboarders need light-ness. I BMX too, that is what you need light-ness for. I just look at people funny when they say "You have a light deck". Who the **** cares, does the pound or two make that much of a difference? Not to me.

[crazymonkrides]

Its simple, the lighter the deck is, the easier it is to pop and flip. But only pussies need the boards to be lighter. Skating with regular decks makes your legs stronger, and makes you a man.

[Freakin bored]

Yes a manly man who is very manly in a manly sort of manly way.

[Print_Mafia]

what happened to 7 plys canadaian maple? why fix wuts not broken.

[insertnamehere]

Don't you know that Elements job is to break everything?

[fallen_skater_]

lol, dude, its like, all skaters these days are corporate.

[fallen_skater_]

Yes a manly man who is very manly in a manly sort of manly way.

lol couldnt have said it better my self

[monkeymess]

element should just stop making skate stuff and save skateboarders from spending thousands of dollars on useless junk that breaks in 2 weeks.

[blind_rippa]

I know that. I have strong legs, so if I have a heavy deck or light deck, it doesn't matter. If I skate a deck for 2 days, I'm gonna be able to do the same thing with any other deck I've had. You have to have really weak legs to need light decks.

[XBLinK182sk8rX]

Yup, my alien workshop is kinda heavy and I have no problem with ollieing or anything.......I...AM A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Whitney]

Sounds like it would break in a second.

One of my first real boards was a BAM Element. I hadnt really skated any other 'real' boards so i didnt know how crappy it was. I was considering getting an element fiberlite but i was convinced to get popwar instead. Now that i got my popwar, i can see what everyone meant. Element does suck.

[TrAnCe]

hmm.... anyone ever held a helium balloon? letting a FULLy filled helium balloon up against a Scale makes the balloons weight 2grams less than an empty balloon. the "helium shit(light) construction" obviously has LESS helium than a helium balloon, (its only in 3 ply's in 5 holes through the middle) so less than 2 grams of weight is lost; WOW. n plus they say its stronger;hollow decks are stronger now? mayb for hitting ppl with, but for skateboarding? I Dont Think So. how the hell do they expect ppl to believe that the HElium construction is "the future"? the things gonna loose pop or snap in less than 2 weeks, and when it does snap, ppl will weigh it n c no difference ^o)

[edward]

someone buy one and tell us about it so we can actually hear how much it sucks instead of guessing how much it sucks.

[mikester1999]

that video blows swollows and gurgles at the same time

[goofy m3ng]

actually air is very strong but this is 100% BULLSHITE!!!!!!!!!!

[spenser]

but its not strong.. its a fluid, not a solid, so it doesnt hold together.

[shad0w]

I think I saw one of these today...do you have any pictures of it?

[AdioBird52]

if you watch Elementality, a couple times riders are riding other brand boards.

[spenser]

thats because sometimes they have to if they break their board.. like whoever theyre skating with.

for example, rowley had a baker board in an ad, cause his broke, so he borrowed one from whichever baker dude he was with.

[Senior Frog]

Awful. So bad.
Are you Ieatemochilds on the EMB?

[garrisonboobs92]

does anyone have a fether light or fiber lite deck. i was thinkin about gettin one but what everyone says i mite not get one any more. i'm just looking for a light and strong deck. any suggestions

[VanillaSkater]

My friend had a helium board , it was pretty weird to ride on. The pop was decent but the board felt like i was riding a 2x4 and the individual ply's were thicker than the normal 7ply's. Only problem with it would be when it gets razor tail and the holes start showing later on. And seeing rowley skate a baker isnt that big of a deal, pro's usually skate any deck they get from their major supplier like blitz.

[almostsk8er33]

The lighter the board, the weaker it is, and the more shitty it is.

Don't bother with element.

Get a shop deck.

[crazy_dave]

This threads pretty old. Let it die.

[r0zz]

another typical element product lmao.

[shortty]

i started this thread a loooooong time ago let it rot kids
