Specialty board guide

[Spearson32]

i've already posted this in another thread but this is for those of you who do not know
this is not what my opinion is on the quality of the decks this is just what they are designed to do

Resin-7:Lighter and stronger than the standard 7-ply

Resin-8:Stronger and same weight as standard 7-ply.Significantly stronger

Uber:The internal carbon fiber foam deck is ultra light and nearly stiff as metal. it acts like re bar, or a skeleton embodied by a standard 7-ply layup.

Featherlight:designed and engineered with lightweight materials, featherlight products perform above and beyond what is currently on the market without sacrificing quality or strength.

Fiberlight:fiberlight is a skateboard construction designed to withstand intense abuse, yet react and perform beyond what is currently on the market. fiberlight provides an unparalleled response to the ollie

Helium:helium skateboard construction features patented air-frame chambers built inside the deck that add strength while drastically decreasing weight. each of five air-frame chambers within the boards is hollowed, meaning less wood is used, resulting in the lightest skateboard deck element skateboards has ever released.

Armorlight:Extra strength,exclusive carbon composite center.Decreased weight,ultra light maple veneers.Superior stiffness, super bonding resin glue.

Bamboo:This construction is more ecologically sound then a traditional 100% Maple skateboard. Bamboo makes up 15% of the deck using less Maple wood and utilizing the incredible growth rate of farm raised Bamboo. Bamboo Ply construction utilizes the natural characteristics of both woods. Bamboo is light and resilient while Maple has a proven record for strength

Slick:Slicks are just boards with special paint to make slides easier.

I'd like to add:
Fiberlam(Toy Machine/Foundation): FIBERLAM construction is 5 HRM veneers sandwiched in between 2 high density thermal poly plys with an embeded ultra fine homogenous commingled stranded filament. That's the technical terminology. what does it mean? Good shit! FIBERLAM top and bottom sheets gives gives greater upward flex strength and overall stiffness keeping the board stiffer longer and increases overall board strength giving you a board with longer life than the traditional all wood construction. The top and bottom layers are where the most pressure on a deck happens. When they they all give. FIBERLAM keeps it tight. FIBERLAM has greater slide potential with less surface wear. FIBERLAM gives smoother, faster, easier slideson rails, ledges, curbs and nudity. FIBERLAM 9 STARS! Tested best and is considered a great buy at www.BoardTesting.com 2005 results from all companies decks tested. FIBERLAM is made in the USA exclusively by Watson Laminates.

well you cleared up what they are but has anyone actually riden these? your personal pros and cons please, greatly appreciated.

[marleyfan0]

hmm... i never had heard of the bamboo deck great job

You can tell this has your opinion in it because on certain boards youll say something about them going above and beyond (quoting both element boards), and you were alot more emotional on the element boards.

If you weren't biased you would add that featherlight decks break very easily if you ollie over and off of stuff alot.

It's a good try though.
