Presque indestructible ??
of Roman, 2 Mar 2018
The Carboslick Decks of the Austrian skateboard-smithy Kape are only 8,5 mm thin. Normal wooden boards consist of 7 layers of maple, Kape only use 4! The rest is carbon, fibreglass and of course a company secret. These high-quality materials keep the pop of the deck forever. By using polyamide, the tail wears off 4 times slower compared to normal skateboards. The design of the Carboslick decks also enables smooth, controlled slides. For this purpose, an ultra-thin topsheet is used, which you normally find on high-end snowboards.
The width of the trucks should match the deck width. The skate truck is specified with either the hanger width or the axle width.
You can find the matching trucks for your skate deck in this table:
