rubber risers

[moneyman]

has anyone used those i ferget what the name is but their awsome

[fracture]

risers?? um.... yeah i always skate with them on.
for a smoother ride

[iamflameboy]

yeah, im skating rubber risers at the min, mine are just thin bits of rubber that ride and absorb shock well

[snakeyes17]

nope
i had hard plastic risers but took them off for some reason and never put them back on

[evilcheese00]

me neither i've tried and tested both and i prefer without.

[grimreaper65]

yeah, i have phantom shock pads, i've noticed they tend to reduce pressure cracks

[fracture]

yeh i have 4 pressure cracks

[snakeyes17]

i have a bunch of pressure cracks
i should start using them

[BakerStencil]

Pah I don't care about pressure cracks, my Decks gonna break someday anyway...lol

[grimreaper65]

but they'll break less often

[Flipstreetskate]

im not too worried about the whole riser pad thing. i dont break decks all that often and im also a skinny guy so there is not much weight bearing down on the deck. i like boards sitting low too so i think non risers look better. my only problem is it looks like my enjoi has pressure cracks already, but that might be the paint because the paint on my deck cracks and flakes off.

[snakeyes17]

if you have pressure crakes will it break easier by the trucks?

[FlowBoi]

I had no presure crask and I don't use risers. I just broke it yesterday.

[snakeyes17]

what kind of board did you have?
and welcome to RR

[FlowBoi]

I had a deck from my local skate scene. Called Flow land real good cheap decks.

[atticus]

I have risers. I find it a lot more smooth and your deck gets less pressure cracks. Which at the moment, doesn't really matter for me. I have pressure cracks halfway across the deck. Then I started using risers. My deck's gonna snap anyday now.

[Cant sk8 Great]

phantom shock pads dude, i slam my tricks like hell and i have no pressure cracks at all

[atticus]

Does the brand really matter? I just got some cheap generic ones for like $2.

[flipside433]

^^ dido

[grimreaper65]

i don't think the brand matters much. it matters about as much as hardware, i guess.

[VansSkater]

i have really crappy plastic ones but i guess they help because i haevnt had a crack in my element even tho ive been skating for like 2 yrs on this board.

im with ya there, i got really cheap clear ones

[ryan0100]

i use phantoms

[SkaterNewb]

I use Dook's Shock pads Best shit ive ever had.Only problem is after a while it acts like a Suction cup and sticks ur trucks to ur board. ( not a problem unless u use a lot of boards) I have been experiamenting with blankdeck.com Decks and i was switch my trucks from board to board and sometimes i Really REALLY had to work to get my trucks off

[shokka]

shock pads dont stop pressure cracks at all..

i just took mine off and there was a couple big pressure cracks

[verbalvendetta]

I use a diamond riser pad

Not sure what there made of

But im only 120 lbs and im 16years 5'9"

My boards last LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG.. No Pressure Cracks...

[sk8dirtywheels]
