The Durability Test: Impact 1.1 Skateboard Deck in Braille Warehouse

Introduction

Hey skaters! At Impact Skateboards, we’re all about making decks that last and perform like a dream. Recently, the crew over at Braille Skateboarding put our Impact 1.1 skateboard deck through some gnarly tests to see if it could handle the heat. Spoiler alert: it pretty much did! Let’s dive into what went down, what they found, and how we’re feeling about it all.

The Test: Pushing the Limits of the Impact 1.1

You know Braille Skateboarding—they don’t mess around when it comes to testing gear. They took our Impact 1.1 deck and threw it into some seriously tough situations to see if it can be named the strongest skateboard out there.

Highlights from the Test:

1. Drop Test: The deck was repeatedly dropped from significant heights to assess its resilience.
2. Impact / Chip resistance Test: The deck was struck against hard surfaces to evaluate its durability.
3. Flexibility and Strength: The deck’s ability to handle heavy loads and stress.
4. Riding Tests: Evaluating the performance of the deck during actual skateboarding sessions, including various tricks.

Results: The Strongest Skateboard Proven?

After numerous challenging tests, Braille Skateboarding concluded that the Impact 1.1 skateboard deck showcased remarkable durability and performance. Here are some key takeaways from their testing:

• Classic Skateboard Feel: The Braille team validated that the Impact 1.1 retains the classic skateboard feeling, providing a familiar and comfortable ride.
• Crisp Pop: They were impressed by the crisp pop the deck provides, making tricks feel sharp and responsive.
• Increased Glide: The testers noticed the increased glide offered by the board coating, enhancing the overall riding experience.
• Reduced Damage: Despite high-impact scenarios, the deck only displayed impressively small scratches and dents.
• Outstanding Resilience: The deck withstood repeated abuse, proving its superior strength compared to traditional wooden decks.
