I work for an Aerospace company and we use 3k Carbon fiber which seems to be what this one is made from judging by the weave pattern if its a 3/4 inch thick of 3k carbon fiber thru and thru then this thing is not going to break. It might splinter a little bit if you do manage to get enough weight in just the right spot. You can put it between two bricks and jump on it in the center if you don't believe me. Ive made Helicopter steps made out of about 9 layers of this stuff wrapped around Foam(similar to insulation foam but not the same shit obviously) and they splinter at about 600lbs.. To get it to 3/4 of an inch you would need considerably more layers I would say about 30 layers of the stuff since each one is about 0.8 thick. That's why its heavier then wood. Although you can get the same strength or more of wood with less thickness it would feel too thin and therefor weird to rid around in.
haha was going to comment and let them know Carbon fiber is mainly used in the engine components in Rocket Engines. so one of the key components to it, glad to see others into random things also. lol
+Tyler Ashton I looked it up and they are solid wood I believe it was hardtop maple and that they are very sturdy, the owner of the company Andrew schrock dropped a heavy medicine ball on the board from at least 10 feet up and it only bent
Man I watch one of your videos every couple weeks. You guys build/get somthin cool and theres always somthing cool up ahead to watch, much respect and thanks for making the skate community a lil better keeping it alive
6:27 was the best filming I ever seen!! You thought he was talking about the chips... Nah, he was talking about the kid that did the sick grind... Nope, He's talking about the Hamster!!! Perfection Lance!!
Watching yours makes me want to skate again even though I sucked back in the day lol. It's always of you guys to hang out with teens and show a good example.
Lance - "You're wearing my patience (down)." Doug - "How does it look on me?" *awkward pause* "Your patience" Lance - ... Doug - ... Lance - ... Me - Oh I get it!
I Haven't skated over a year, this videos makes me remember how much I loved that times...... I'm going to skate again this week, thank you!!! And take care of the decks... don't drop it or hit em on the ground, you can collect them like trophies. more of them are very original designed
Ankle injuries suck, there are lots of tiny bones in your ankle, and if they break and don't heal right it can be a lifelong thing. He really shouldn't be skating on it at all for 3-6 months depending on where his ankle is injured, it's a big risk to skate on it this early.
Parker Killian ooooooh, i'm so used to jokes like that so i didn't notice it. I thought lance didn't understand him because he said "what" and then didn't answer the question.
I don't see why not. Back when I was still fucking myself up on skateboards, I actually preferred my board have some flex to it. Made it easier to allie and kick flip, imo. I would think carbon fiber will make it have almost no flex at all, so if that's what you're after, then it should work just fine for a long board. Might have to make trucks more loose though to turn as easy as a normal plywood long board since I always felt the flex helps with turning on those. Maybe it's just me. I dunno. lol If made about as thick with the same number of layers, it should be outright much stronger than regular skateboard plywood, thus much more resistant to breaking. I don't know if you've ever watched Formula One cars crash. Takes a hell of a lot of impact force to shatter their carbon fiber bodies.
Very certain people actually use carbon fiber boards, but only downhill and racing from what I know. I don't know about how well they'd handle anything other than high speed and slides.
Also in a lot of instances especially with mountain bike bars people complain a lot that the bars flex *too* much so it really depends on the method used to make the deck.
Jack Diller True, it would depend how many layers of carbon fiber are laid on, and the resin between layers isn't worked for too long before it starts to harden. Seems to me though to build it up to the same thickness of a plywood board, which would probably be at least double the number of layers of a plywood board, it should become very stiff.
+Charlie Britt haha!! I mean he doesn't in every picture but when ever I saw Shanks wearing the straw hat smiling, I was like.... That looks like Arron lmaoo
It's definitely not light compared to wood and glue when it's a solid piece of laminated carbon fiber soaked in resin. It would be light if it was a foam or honeycomb structure core with a carbon skin, like a surfboard.
Depends, the layers themselves are not that light for their volume. It's usually that they have a lightweight core of a different material eg aluminium honeycomb for compressive strength sandwiched between the layers that can make it very stiff for it's weight. Dunno if this board is just a load of carbon fibre sheets or has a core in between a couple of layers.
+Fredrik HL Sure but most woods are way lighter. I've worked with aerospace grade carbon fiber and it's relatively light but when/if you have that chance to hold a decent sized piece you'll definitely be surprised.
Although I do agree that they are not the most academic, Thats Chris' thing to open packages in unconventional ways. They know how to open boxes properly; they are not disabled.
It wouldve only taken another 60 seconds to do it properly but I guess the 2 bolt thing is like a "you make we skate it" trademark now lol they have to do it like that every time
Haha my best friend used to ride an everslick. Back in the days skateboarding in the Netherlands was sick. There were no parks. Communities all loathed skateboarders. Nowadays there's a lot of spoiled kids with huge parks. I'm 32 now, and your videos inspired me to start skateboarding again! I'll start this week ;) Just found my old board again!! Thanks for the cool videos guys :)
I don't remember Everslick, but my first skateboard, I got these plastic ribs for the sides, they were supposed to protect the graphic and stickers, and make sliding easier. I had a nose guard and tail guard too the noseguard lasted like a day, and the tail guard got scraped to hell, but it's still on there. I skated it like a year or two, and it's in the back of my closet since almost twenty years ago.
congrats guys. your channel helped me to decide to buy my first board in like 15 years. cant wait to get it and damn is it hard to find black label boards nowadays...haha. cant wait to get back on, im 30 btw. it will help keep me active and they are just pure fun
Probably not full carbon fiber because it needs some real weight to actually skate. You can’t have your board just floating away whenever you Ollie , right?? Lol
+Geoff Smith that used to be the main benefit but it's come a long way. For example the mclaren p1's cockpit is made up entirely from carbon fiber. Then there's the fact mclaren has developed the carbon to be so strong that the p1 gtr is the only car in GT racing that doesn't require a rollcage because the monocage is on par with FIA rollover standards
6:28 an awesome dude doing a nice trick
"wow, it's amazing, gotta get him in this video"
pointing on the hamster. LOL
pense exactamente lo mismo😂
Lmao! That shit had me dying
that was amazing 😂
for sure for sure
LOLed real good!
You know how you know this is a good channel? I don't skateboard AT ALL. But for some reason I'm watching several of these videos.
Same lmao
Same lol
I longboard but these videos are just really entertaining :)
i think these videos are making me want to skate but i gotta come up w some money to buy a decent board that wont kill me & last
I want to learn how to skate looks fun
6:28 "That is amazing" I totally thought he was talking about the board slide in the background...
same!!!!! that was hilarious
lol i was scanning comments to see if anyone else noticed. so you get the thumbs up
me to
+purpleurplesmoke 👍👍
Absolutely lost my shit when that happened :D

ledge trick at 6:29 is fire
the whole hamster thing made me laugh
*guy does awesome ledge trick* "whoa, that's amazing. gotta get him in this video" *walks over to guy with hamster*
ill think you find it was actually a giraffe
Nick Gwinner Dude that made me laugh so much hahah
I am a fan of carbon fiber so this board was awesome, just wish it was wider and that I could have skated it the whole day
your part still rocked
haha was going to comment and let them know Carbon fiber is mainly used in the engine components in Rocket Engines. so one of the key components to it, glad to see others into random things also. lol
fuk u
Lmao your voice is funny
You always laugh at other peoples imperfections? Are you a god?
someone make them carbon fiber trucks and carbon fiber wheels so the can compare all metal vs all carbon fiber
And bearings
+LuckEdude _ would they even work lol
That would be awesome!
+Braille Skateboarding holy shit you actually responded this made my night
+Braille Skateboarding skate a plank of wood
6:28 lmao i thought he was talking about the kid with that sick grind
Right!!! Lmao.
that's the joke...
same, poor kid maybe he felt awesome and thought that lance went to film him!!!
same, poor kid maybe he felt awesome and thought that lance went to film him!!!
+Rod G Lance did end up filming him and he acknowledged his trick
This has to be one of the best Braille videos of all time!
Im using a bamboo and carbon fiber deck for about 1 year ,and I love it
You guys should try a bamboo skateboard
Well make it and send it to then :P
well you have been on the wrong board ;)
I skate a bamboo 8" deck. Doesn't skate any different than any regular deck I've owned.
+Yucannt Hahvitt oh, weird. I haven't seen much about them, but heard they pop better and last longer.
I would totally buy that
Haven't skated in over 10 years....you guys are making me want to build a fucking deck.
P.S. Do you guys remember New Deal Armorlite decks?? Light and virtually unbreakable, I had a Rob Gonzales model; the carbon board reminds me of it.
same here
I got an old Libtech deck built years ago, I'm itchin to dig out now!
I'm probably about to order one of their Revive decks. They skate them so they have to be decent!
+Tyler Ashton I looked it up and they are solid wood I believe it was hardtop maple and that they are very sturdy, the owner of the company Andrew schrock dropped a heavy medicine ball on the board from at least 10 feet up and it only bent
I don't skate but i watch every video.
Great work guys. :))
Try it out skating is fun
Yes Ivan Ivan Ivan start skating dude, it'll change your life!
I got an ollie in the first 2 minutes I've ever spent on a board. It's a lot of fun.
+SwaffyX I'll doubt that till the day I die
***** If the trophy is a cookie then yes. : )
"How's that sandwich?"
"It's alright."
Highlight of the video.
I like how Carlos does all those weird crazy tricks and I kinda like em :D
inb4 Aarons ankle never heals
He's old
+Ippei Morita 34 isn't old
Burnie from AAA
+never knows Best it is in skateboarding years he can't skate 10 stairs cause of that
That kid was murdering that quarter pipe
Carlos Lastra is his name
Seriously.
Yeah he was
Arron is toooootally high in this vid hahaha
Why do you think he had so much food at the start
U do not know what being high is do you
He always is lol
+myfatassdick He does not smoke, just because some eats food and gets very hungry doesn't mean someone is high smh
Ahw that's a bummer :P Would've totally loved the idea of Aaron smoking one out :P
Man I watch one of your videos every couple weeks. You guys build/get somthin cool and theres always somthing cool up ahead to watch, much respect and thanks for making the skate community a lil better keeping it alive
6:27 was the best filming I ever seen!! You thought he was talking about the chips... Nah, he was talking about the kid that did the sick grind... Nope, He's talking about the Hamster!!! Perfection Lance!!
how about instead of skate decks, people send you a box cutter knife?
Box cutters are totally skate-able..
Why? I mean he can probably buy one.
Are there many good skate spots on the isle of man? Staying there soon
I'd rather bring a motorcycle, as racing 300km/h+ through villages and country roads is more their thing
okleydokley how can they unwrap a box cutter without a box cutter 😂
This must be the longest you make it we skate it video
Because the stuff they got sent didn't break within 5 tricks xD
+Christopher James true
Yay Aaron!!! :D
Where were you at bro? I haven't seen you in some vids.
He was, I think, in LA filming for something. There is a comment on a recent video asking where he was and I think it was Lance that replied.
as much as i know he was in la filming a streetpart for revive :p
Watching yours makes me want to skate again even though I sucked back in the day lol. It's always of you guys to hang out with teens and show a good example.
9:54 Carlos starts going off, man was killing it those moves were so wicked
I left my skateboard in the subway because I was distracted playing on my phone, moral of the story: convert to ChrisChannity and pray to SkateGod
😂😂
That sucks
quality ass comment!
I feel you Pain
Derp
Thumbs up for Doug's joke at 5:27
greatest dad joke of all time
Lance - "You're wearing my patience (down)."
Doug - "How does it look on me?" *awkward pause* "Your patience"
Lance - ...
Doug - ...
Lance - ...
Me - Oh I get it!
he talks so fast though.. I can barely understand him..
He's wearing his patience like a shirt.
sounds like hes missing all the teeth in the front lmao
the mc-twist was lit af
I Haven't skated over a year, this videos makes me remember how much I loved that times......
I'm going to skate again this week, thank you!!! And take care of the decks... don't drop it or hit em on the ground, you can collect them like trophies. more of them are very original designed
This video is comfy, getting some good chilling with friends vibes
The guy wearing all black is beast at skating
+Trxvor no it's Carlos
+tyler beckwith he's talking bout chann
yea but he flat spotted his wheels
+Dakota Linback he's totally talking about carlos
Carlos and Chris Chan are the two best
I'm confused, did Aaron sell the channel to Lance? He's never in the videos anymore.
+XxR3aper$$gamingxX for a whole year?
they're probably just friends who co- manage the channel/filming, doing all of that by yourself can start to wear on a person.
Ankle injuries suck, there are lots of tiny bones in your ankle, and if they break and don't heal right it can be a lifelong thing. He really shouldn't be skating on it at all for 3-6 months depending on where his ankle is injured, it's a big risk to skate on it this early.
"You're wearing my patience."
"How does it look on me?"
#classicdoug
#justdougthings
You should install a sheet of teflon under your boards.
you would slide way longer and easier.
LOL Lance! Walking past the skater for the mouse! That's some good improv humor right there!
skate an 8" by 31" piece of plywood and grip it and make sure it's just like a regular skateboard but with no nose or tail.
make the trucks in the right spot, where it would be on a regular board
+Henry Allison no u
so basically a skateboard from pre-90s
5:30 sometimes you just ca't understand doug.
Lance: "You're wearing my patience"
Doug: "How does it look on me, the patience?"
The joke was pretty obvious.
it was an A+ goof
Also, i think his lisp is awesome too. Fuck the haters
Parker Killian ooooooh, i'm so used to jokes like that so i didn't notice it. I thought lance didn't understand him because he said "what" and then didn't answer the question.
+BeatJumper 👽 can't understand shit, butt its funny as hell😂😂
Skate a ricer wing
A what?
that'll be easy!
Agreed!
Dude, no! That adds like 50 horsepower to any FWD car!!
Too crummy,but THAT is the fun of it.
you're videos make me smile. good work, keep it up.
I could watch these videos all day
"It must be UFO Material"
the old guy in blue sounds like he's in fast forward when he speaks
young Douglas.
He's Doug and he's not that old
It's mostly the hair or beard. Doug isn't that old. Rough guess he's in his 30's
+Calyx Jaxon No they are talking about the actual old guy at 11:59
What was with the nice old man?
Ikr
i think he skates back then and just wanted to see people skate
Plus respect to him man. He seemed chill.
Reginald P. Kickflip
Probably one of those old vert skaters 😂
Good material for a skateboard; probably the best.
Been a long ass time since I enjoyed watching skate vids, thanks for bringing it back for me, also, good to see you guys engaging the youth!
Slap some suspension trucks on there and then it will be a future board
Oh my god the friend ice cream truck in the background
Friken*
+RandomizedGizmo45 Imovies while in even fasting
skate a ''Moby Huge'' xD i dare you
*****
thank you sir :D haha
what's a moby huge?
That would be funny
Jayson Stone
google it on google images
+GurkeAmPC search what
Aaron really makes these videos awesome!! Love it!
Haven't skated since I was in my early 20's, but this channel is cool. RUclips recommendations weren't shit for once.
Do you guys think that a carbon fiber longboard would work or break? I'm a fan of carbon fiber, but I'm not sure how effective it would be.
I don't see why not. Back when I was still fucking myself up on skateboards, I actually preferred my board have some flex to it. Made it easier to allie and kick flip, imo.

+CmdrGendoIkari it would be good for sliding.
Aaron has to be faded of something I swear
chips and yogurt??? cmon
+Alex Camarena xD my thoughts exactly
+Justin Singleton wtf gtfo of here
Aaron looks like Shanks from One Piece...
no, he does not bro😂😂
+Ibrar Mohammad yes he does lol look up a picture of Shanks smiling looking to the right, and then look at Arron.
I'm not the only one that thought that 😂
I thought he looks like Sid from ice age
+Charlie Britt haha!! I mean he doesn't in every picture but when ever I saw Shanks wearing the straw hat smiling, I was like.... That looks like Arron lmaoo
"The Future of Skateboards." Love it!
Wow watching these videos makes me wanna pick up a board again. Haven't skateboard in like 6 years.
Who was that old man? He looked legit. Chillin at the skate park.
I hear Christmas lights and im going insane
i cant hear lights
i can.
how do you hear lights wtf
Drugs?
I thought it was a fucking ice cream truck
Carbon fiber is stronger than steel so i don't think they're going to break that thing
nearly as strong as steel, not stronger. but the lightness and flexibility what makes it better
+cameron williams it is actually 10x stronger
Depending on which kind of steel and carbon fiber. But good steel vs good carbon fiber, carbon fiber wins every time.
+Cock Dick No, that is completely untrue
Carbon fiber composites are stronger than steel when it comes to torque and impact. Heat, I have no idea...
This gives me the feeling and illusion of hanging out with the cool skater friends I don't have.
That deck is SICK!
heavier than a normal board? carbon fiber is so light, btw if they sold this it would be so expensive, carbon fiber aint cheap
It's definitely not light compared to wood and glue when it's a solid piece of laminated carbon fiber soaked in resin. It would be light if it was a foam or honeycomb structure core with a carbon skin, like a surfboard.
Have you ever even held real carbon fiber?!? It's not that light. It's just super light considering it's strength.

░
Who the hell was that old guy that kept popping up in the video?
And you high-fived him. Lol.
That was Tony Hawk..
Now add rockets to that space ship~
Aaron I'm happy to see you play in a game of skate again.
I want one... This board looks and sounds so cool
Bare foot - Stupid Skate? #skategod
Wow
Can you pay the hospital bills?
We'll look into that one :)
+Braille Skateboarding that's gunna hurt lol
ive tried that.I got a splinter😂😂
thith ith amathing
people spend ages making these, at least do them the decency of using 4 bolts. stop being lazy.
And then they tried to focus it at the end. So disrespectful.
Although I do agree that they are not the most academic, Thats Chris' thing to open packages in unconventional ways. They know how to open boxes properly; they are not disabled.
They didnt even try they were just joking. They would wreck their feet and ankles before the board even showed any sign of weakness.
It wouldve only taken another 60 seconds to do it properly but I guess the 2 bolt thing is like a "you make we skate it" trademark now lol they have to do it like that every time
Heck yeah, so glad Aaron is back!
Haha my best friend used to ride an everslick. Back in the days skateboarding in the Netherlands was sick. There were no parks. Communities all loathed skateboarders.

Who's that old guy?
that wuzent toni hawk u idiet. he look nothing liek him@!!!!1
+Tyler Dan Obviously
organic juice ur dum
+Tyler Dan You're* dumb*
+Kriptic Shocks fucking Christ you children are fucking idiots
am I the only one that wants Garrett back
Is he not riding with them anymore?
does lance actually know how to skate? or does he just act like that in the videos lol i suck
he knows quite a bit but not to be compared to pros or anything
Lance skating skills are great! He has made excellent progress
Carbon fiber boards aren't new. First time I seen one was around 04-05.
this is the best braille video
you know i have never used skateboard before but your videos are just so interesting to watch.
Chris Chan? What an unfortunate name. Don't google yourself.
Chris Chann is his name
Derek Troxel Still lol
RUCKERSVILLE VIRGINIAA
he has 2 n's not one idiot
+DrHotelMario lmao I just had to Google it....
send me the board or I'll unsubscribe.
Bye Felicia
reported. thanks
losing one subscriber ain't hurting their rep
+Francis Sims who's felicia
GTFO then
I dont know his Name but the blond friend of Aaron looks so hard and manly but has a voice like a mouse.
Doug has a lisp so he sounds a little funky
okay lol
doug is my nigga
+EVADE He's white
+Mr. Señor i just realized at the beginning of the video he did lol

not completly carbon fiber if it was it would weigh less than a pound
Probably not full carbon fiber because it needs some real weight to actually skate. You can’t have your board just floating away whenever you Ollie , right?? Lol
Well if cars are made from carbon fibre I think the board will hold :P
the outside is just weight-saving
chassis are still metal, afaik, though I think some suspensions use carbon fiber
theres wheels made completely of carbon fiber
Race car chassis are 100% carbon fiber nowadays. It is insanely durable stuff.
+Geoff Smith that used to be the main benefit but it's come a long way. For example the mclaren p1's cockpit is made up entirely from carbon fiber. Then there's the fact mclaren has developed the carbon to be so strong that the p1 gtr is the only car in GT racing that doesn't require a rollcage because the monocage is on par with FIA rollover standards
Definitely my Favorite board on "you make it we skate it" so far Awesome ☺👍👍👍
I don't even skate and I've been watching all of these, keep it up guys!
the kid at 9:43 is sick, those landings are buttery smooth
Coool...it does feel like slick boards awesome.... thanks for the review...
Carlos does the best tricks. Fantastic ;)
I'm so glad you guys ate in the video today. It reminded me of everybody loves Raymond. So Everybody Loves Aaron.. Or Carbon Fiber or w/e
This was very satisfying to watch
I know the video will be good as soon as I see Doug!!
I have a skateboard in my garage. Time to go try it out!
Chris Chan skates like he's a character in skate 3 so much pop on every trick
I had a Lib Tech way back in '03, which was pretty slick.
Chris won that game of SKATE with a Dragon Flip, so awesome!
Awesome, this board seems like one of the better ones that you guys had sent in to try out.
Bachishaman its actually practical
I had a lib tech board in the 90s either 99 or 2000 and it had the fiberglass bottom it was amazing
I seriously appreciate the randomness of ice in this one video. sandwich eating chip tricks hamster in public awesome times. love it
life not ice but whatever
"Like a spaceship?"
"Like a spaceship."
"Good." 😂😂
Carlos is the man! keep it up shorty
Carlos and Chris are so crazy man
