But it ’s not like they edit out the side off a cardboard box , attached some wheels , and then dropped into a half - tube . Signal Snowboards in reality worked alongside the paper products experts at Ernest Packaging Solutions to make this cosmos .
The first effort used layers of corrugate cardboard for the pack of cards , but it would consistently break when the rider started performing more extreme tricks . So they switch to multiple layers of thick report that was gazump to its core in resin using a vacuum sealing system and then left to harden in a press .
The result skateboard was a piddling more flexible than most decks , but it still managed to admit up to countless tricks in a half - pipe and a pool , even while being ridden than Tony Hawk himself . Would he ever switch to using composition board deck of cards ? Probably not , but he was glad to see someone trying to preface some innovation . [ Signal SnowboardsviaGizmag ]
