NHS Research & Development Lab - Part 1

SHOP: bit.ly/1thKQCJ
During our NHS Road Trip we took a tour of their illustrious R&D Laboratory led by longtime hardgoods scientist Tim Piumarta. The R&D Department is responsible for the engineering side of wheels, decks, trucks, accessories, griptape, etc. Tim and his crew put the "good" in hardgoods for all the NHS family of brands, including Santa Cruz, Flip, Creature, Ricta, Independent, MOB, Krux, OJ and more. They say that if you can measure it, you can improve it - and these guys measure EVERYTHING. Every single piece of skate gear that leaves their facility has been designed, engineered, manufactured, measured and thoroughly tested in the lab as well as on the streets. It's no wonder NHS has been the number one skate distributor for 40+ years and running. Take a look, get inspired, buy NHS hardgoods and GO SKATE!

Is no one going to mention that Tim, our guide, was the Prosecutor in Santa Cruz's iconic Streets on Fire?? "Your Honor, we will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the defendant is guilty." Watch the video, kids, it's legendary.

What happened to Jarvis on your trick tips I miss that guy he was amazing at explaining tricks :)

[@carloscanales8028]

So whats the best bearing?

[@satanicgrandma5200]

Bronson

[@SkateWarehouse]

Carlos Canales Ben Bayers we're really feeling the Bronson's right now!

[@stevebean1234]

+Skate Warehouse Tried RockNRon's? Haven't gotten Bronson's to compare them to yet, but they look great

[@danielevanhunt]

I get tired of watching videos where 10% of the shots are out of focus. Isn't there a solution for that?

[@SkateWarehouse]

filming real life action on the fly, there's going to be some shots out of focus. If we cut those out we would miss out on valuable information! for scripted videos with scenes its possible, but when you're in a real life situations with no do-overs you take what you can get

[@uhhson100]

8:43 does that mean the p2 board is stronger then a normal one?

[@connordore3952]

Yes... That's the point is p2 boards...

[@connordore3952]

+Connor Dore of*

[@skylerbond56]

cali4orniasunbaby P2 decks usually last me close to twice as long as normal decks. 1-1/2 weeks vs 3-4 weeks

[@bankslie4one]

i wanna 3d print my wheels, that'd be awesome

[@Flyingroadkilz]

yeah you'd think but they dont really work, check the braille channel they've done a few vids on 3d printed wheels

[@vxrcus]

bankslie4one unless you can find a 3d printer that prints urethane you can try

[@KT-cz7rm]

text with and without shield with dirt

[@Ckypwnd]

what happened to p2 decks are they a bust? had a cheech n chong tom penny p2 but just got another tom penny and its not p2

[@SkateWarehouse]

We just got a batch of Creature P2 decks in!we have a handful of Flip P2 boards too, just no Penny models :(

[@HuntingAirsoft]

Big Friend jimmy fell ass first on mine.. results were shocking. Board didn't stand a chance..

[@Fro10079]

a vfd would solve that

[@jalynwilliams3514]

I don't enjoy how this doesn't take account for what skaters like, you could show me the fastest wheel in the world, but if they feel like plastic i won't like them.
