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.

[@neisan92]

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.

[@mikefelty2625]

@@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.

[@DjDolHaus86]

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

[@brailleskateboarding]

No need for liquid nitrogen, dry ice is cold enough for - 40. But liquid nitrogen would look cooler.

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.

[@haansworsie]

Adding AR-2 coating makes it bullet proof

[@1Caseup]

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

[@brainwashingdetergent4322]

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.

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.

[@quinnfoster1234]

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

[@TooChEASY]

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

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.

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.

[@LittleBishop001]

If you run your head gets less wet, that's why people run.

[@uppskirt]

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.

[@brailleskateboarding]

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.

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.

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.

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.
