As someone who works with polycarb, I enjoyed watching you guys trying to break something I knew wasn't going to break from blunt force. Heat will defeat polycarb, it can be cut fairly easily, but it is made for impacts and will deform a lot before breaking.
I bought a single small sheet of this stuff at a hardware store and cut out about 5 lens protectors for my airsoft gun dot sights and scopes. Never lost a scope to direct hits again. It was like $5, and could be cut and filled down to shape with hand tools easily.
@@ShiningDarknesThat would only deform the edge on polycarb. Acrylic is prone to cracking from edge impacts, but not polycarb. Acrylic = harder, but more brittle. Polycarb = softer, but tougher. That's why they use types of polycarb in racecar windows instead of acrylic.
Polycarbonate is super tough, I'm not sure if it's still true but they used to make fighter jet canopies out of the stuff and it's definitely still used for riot shields. However, if you can get hold of some liquid nitrogen and chill that bad boy down to -40 it'll shatter like glass
Polycarbonate has the highest impact strength of any transparent plastic. Polycarbonate is used in safety glasses. Plexiglass is namebrand of acrylic which is much more brittle.
I work in the plastic industry and I will say polycarbonate does not break, only bends. They make bulletproof windows with it lol. If it was acrylic however it would break like glass
I remember my first pair of polycarbonate safety glasses, it said unbreakable on the side, I didn’t believe it, so I tried throwing, stomping, hitting with a hammer, none of which worked. I even drove over them with a forklift. Only at that point did the arms break off. I never did break the lenses.
@@brailleskateboarding I think you have more non skater viewers than you think. I'm the same, I'll usually binge a bunch of the videos then come back at a later date. I like watching the skateboarding (I wouldn't be here otherwise, even though I don't skate) but it's the stunts and weird challenges that interest me more.
Idk if it’s been done or said but you all should try to have a deck made that’s fully made out of a material called Delrin which is kind of like a plastic that’s used to reduce friction. Obviously grinds would be quick and slippery.
30 yrs. ago I made a full-size skateboard in machine shop out of clear plastic. We ran it over with a car nothing happened. It was also bullet proof. It flexed too much, even with a set of plastic rails.
This brings to mind: "imagine you had a legitimately unbreakable thing, how many people would be broken in finding it out?" Skateboards might just break before people do for a reason.
It works cause it's soft.. not brittle. It's 'bulletproof'. Also you can tell polycarbonate from acrylic by the color of the edge. Poly is dark, acrylic is light colored.
As your trusted dry cleaner I'll say it's safe to air dry your cloths then before you fold them put them in the dryer for 10 min on low heat. That softens them and take some of the rinkels out.
@patirckozz I'll be the first person to tell you I've got an IQ of .7 and the memory of a gold fish (the crackers). But I can get a pen mark out of a silk tie and thread a needle with my eyes closed.
He asked for time off to do some other projects and handle some personal things. We of course are giving him the time he needs. If he doesn't want to share the details of his life on his social media then we sure aren't going to on ours.
I work with a lot of plastics. Poly is some strong stuff. It will bend before it breaks as you can see. Usually the Kryptonite for most plastics is sun. UV rays will take care of that bendiness after awhile. 😁
I started skating back in the early 1970s. I still have all my old stuff, original OJs wheels, Road Runner wheels, Gullwing HPG 4s, Trackers, ACS, etc. I still even have my G&S FiberFlex deck...this kind of reminds me of that deck with it's flexibility.
Rather than putting grip tape on it, you could put surf board wax on it. It's meant to keep your feet on the board. Not to slide. Then it would remain clear, the perhaps a little cloudy.
I had a clear plexiglass skateboard in the 1970's. Yes it broke, and it had two very sharp edges after it did. It flexed like crazy, even more than the one in this video. I don't think it lasted me more than a couple of days.
i used to work at a place that made polycarbonate. You will not break polycarb. polycarb breaks you. The only way to get through it at all is with a frickin saw.
its like a piece of art im 58 we used to break up roller skates and put them under some ply wood I made one in wood work and my teacher said "Thats artwork, not woodwork!" I would have dreamed of something like this in 1976 !
A friend of mine had one of these 20 years ago way before Amazon was around. It’s so uncomfortable to ride because it feels like your sliding around on butter, the thing is too smooth unless it hits a pebble and you go flying 30 feet since this thing picks up speed so fast.
if it had an aluminum shank spanning the two trucks, that would eliminate the flex and allow them to make a full size board. add some grip tape or just embed grit directly into the plastic and you would have an indestructible board that performs just like traditional wood. i suspect it's heavier than a normal board, but a few lightening holes could be drilled into it as necessary to bring it back down to a normal weight.
You gotta remember that polycarbonate is "bullet proof." Who would skate this board? People nostalgic for the 60s and 70s era of skating. Tricks such as the Hang 10 and handstand and Bert slide were invented on boards like this. And carving on banks. Boards of this shape are also where pool skating started. The wheels on this one are a bit wide for pool skating tho. Very much for carving and downhilling and slalom.
Aaron mythbusters proved that if you run in the rain you get more wet as opposed to walking because you generate more surface area or something. rain doesnt fall that fast so by moving faster you create more opportunity for the rain to hit you.
Yeah, it's one of their false outcomes. If you lean like a normal person, you don't get more water from the front in vertical rain but it's simple maths, if you walk like a snail, you get soaking wet in the lightest rain, if you go lightspeed in a planking position, you gather all the water that is in level with your head and shoulders. That's the bare minimum rain you have, unless you are smaller than 2mm and you can predict where the raindrops fall and completely avoid them. But anyone who actually tried to both run and walk in real-life rain knows that running is less pleasant at the moment but you only get your upper torso wet running as opposed to get soaking wet walking.
I remember from that episode it was inconclusive? Also they came to San Jose about 13 years ago and that was an experiment the attendees could do, run through a tunnel with "rain" falling and test it out. I haven't thought of that in years, thank you.
@brailleskateboarding it was busted the myth was running keeps you drier. But it was like 5 percent drier if you walk. Also you risk slipping and getting bodied.
Hi Braille. I am a 33 year old man. I am wondering if I can still skate, learn my kick flips, all the basic skateboard tricks? What is your advice? Skateboaring is my first love!
It's been years since I've had a video recommended for you guys. I completely forgot about this channel, even though I watched a lot of videos years ago.
This skateboard should get a second video where it faces Ricky Glaser when he comes back from injury. If anyone can send this thing to boardhalla it's Ricky.
I started out on a plastic board. I learned how to ollie and grind etc... Later on I bought some used boards off people. When I was around 15, I walked into a pro skate shop and picked out a brand new board trucks wheels etc.. and paid with cash. It was the best feeling in the world, by this time hardly anyone skated, we had to skate on the streets and in parking lots and people chased us all day. We made a half pipe in my cousins barn on the top floor one summer and that was a lot of fun when the hay wasn't in the barn.
These guys just learned why the polycarbonate compound was created by NASA to use in the windshield of their space shuttles and then moved on to be used in the windows of race cars. It is the toughest solid clear substance on earth currently!! Some companies even make their bulletproof windows for cars out of straight polycarbonate. This stuff is incredible. I think it would be really cool to see a set of skate trucks and wheels made out of straight polycarbonate as well.
Or if you could replace like 2-3 out of the 7 layers of maple🍁 with this stuff in a board I bet it would last a long time and add strength to the board a lot. Prob wouldn't add any extra weight either. Somebody build this please.
Built my first pig board from 2 sheets of Plexiglass glued and bolted together....1978 rode it through early 80s. never broke it, broke lots of wooden boards. It was very forgiving on the knees/ankles.

Hmmmmm
No need for liquid nitrogen, dry ice is cold enough for - 40. But liquid nitrogen would look cooler.
Well now I know what to do in a riot type situation
Also acrylic is used for windshields in aviation
Hopefully Paris doesn't hear this!
Heat also works, as well as just cutting it
Clear grip tape is a must for this board. The seller should include a package with your choice of colored grip tape.
Polycarbonate is known for its unbreakable characteristics. Love you guys!
Polycarbonate has the highest impact strength of any transparent plastic. Polycarbonate is used in safety glasses. Plexiglass is namebrand of acrylic which is much more brittle.
Adding AR-2 coating makes it bullet proof

Its quite flexible so it would need metal or composite reinforcement. Also metal on metal slides better but for concrete slides it would be dope
or PTFE which is also pretty slick and a bit stiffer then Delrin. It is a bit more brittle tho so might not last forever
yes
Then how would you drag it with your feet with no friction?
@@TooChEASY UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) will grind anything.
Its my firm opinion that every skateboard should have light up wheels. I am willing to die on this hill.

The local outdoor park is Thrasher park but theyll never show it
its poly carb..... it wont break, as a glazier for 15 yrs this stuff is awesome.
What's funny is I work with poly carbonate, so when they said it would break, I already had my doubts.
Not gunna lie, haven't tuned into the channel in about a year. Very, very nice to see everyone still here. Even better to hear JD's voice dropping lol
I had a clear plexiglass skateboard in the 1970's. Yes it broke, and it had two very sharp edges after it did. It flexed like crazy, even more than the one in this video. I don't think it lasted me more than a couple of days.
Dang ya we did everything to this board and could not break it
Is plexiglass the same as polycarb?
The ending is hilarious. Well done Beginning Skateboard for Beginners Skateboard mini ultra 52 inches light up wheels!
Me recuerda una skate normal que yo tenía hace 12 años, era en madera pero estaba así de flexible y me gustaba usarla porque era muy raro.
That was a perfect ending. Deserved 5 stars.

It's the soft wheels that give these boards speed. :D

Glo trying not to swear is always the best part of the video.
yo im watching u from 2020 ,i remember those days,thank you guys for these feelings
Thanks so much
That forklift at the warehouse next door looks like it wants its forks back tailed while moving
If they formed Grip into the mold like diamond plate that little cruiser would be Sick.
Yall should get some clear grip for it. Keep this board going. Or if u could buy/make a regular shaped skateboard out of this same stuff.
This like them flexible rulers we had in school back in the day
Ngl a plexiglass deck with a stained glass style design where yoy coyld see through it would be sick
if it had an aluminum shank spanning the two trucks, that would eliminate the flex and allow them to make a full size board. add some grip tape or just embed grit directly into the plastic and you would have an indestructible board that performs just like traditional wood. i suspect it's heavier than a normal board, but a few lightening holes could be drilled into it as necessary to bring it back down to a normal weight.

Shoutout from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Love u guys, amazing content!
The dust making the board slippery reminded me of PE in HS when we would spray the bottoms of our shoes with hairspray to keep from slipping all over.
This isn't "DON'T BREAK"
This is "we can't break..."
I've been lied to
Ey Braille you should do glow in the dark Game of Skate ???
what pants is the boy with the jacket wearing i need those!!!
Now they just need a polycarb with a titanium/carbon fiber instert for stiffness
When JD did that board slide just before 14:20, cheered out loud. 💪

Why make it so small?
Because it's a Penny board
this is giving me nostalgia from that glass skateboard video
Yes! Lets go
If that was plexiglass (acrylic) it would have shattered like glass. That polycarbonate board is probably actually bulletproof.
Which is the polycarbonate thickness for that board length?
I think it's 12mm, we've manufactured clear polycarbonate skateboards before with 12mm polycarbonate
