THE FIRST 3D PRINTED CARBON FIBER SKATEBOARD?! 

Thanks so much for the review guys! Really happy to see you enjoyed our board. More to come!

now make a submarine

Sic board. I had, SECTOR 9 FLEX board years ago and it's probably my favourite deck. I used to be able to pumpcarve up slight hill without pushing. Flats you never had to push and had kick on rear so could dropin on sic ramps. Front trucks were right at nose and board skinny surfboard shape. So many km were done and awesome downhill board

I love that board for a cruiser. At 42 years old, my knees and heels can't take more damage from street skating, but I still won't give up so I cruise and do some tricks, nothing crazy 😊 Totally great size and shape, this one. Thank you for sharing. The price is a bit high though, for a deck only longboard, but it is also pretty hightech. Hope it lasts the rest of the video 😂 Btw: if you haven't seen a diamond drop longboard from Original Skateboards you have nothing to compare to.

They should make a deep ocean submersible out of carbon fiber

If you get the more elastic thing on the bottom and a harder layer on the top, it can only bend downwards because lower layer can stretch and top layer can not

When you rolled over it with the prius the first time, you were smack dab in the middle of the board, which is the most flexible. The second time around, you were closer to one side than the other, so it snaped.

Love seeing Aarons shred and push it lately. First TRy!!!!!

Now glue it back together and make a Frankenstein board video 😂 Great video guys! Love tuning in every day :)

I love this channel, along with car stuff, and being a rollerblader, that price, for that board is super reasonable. Hopefully for you long boarders they will introduce colored carbon type ideas with this. Great video!

this is crazy and cool video I like the board Braille

It can bend in one direction and not the other because of the way the layer lines are facing. Its kind of like wood grain, when the plastic is extruded its done in parallel lines.

Sick! Very cool board

i started to watching your videos again recently and seeing Lance in this brought tears to my eyes. i really miss him and i hope he is doing very well

Mine was Sector 9 Cosmic carver and was abit upwards flex when not on. Like you felt on that board, smooth ride. With kick it felt like normal board. Could ollie but would go so high and far in front was crazy aw I can't ollie properly anyway. But love flying down hills at crazy speeds. If hill had T-junction at bottom I'd bring out the freebord. Keep rippin fella's Avagud1

Try sector 9 cosmos with reverse flex. So sic

Aaron is very funny and cool! The whole Braille family as well 👍🏼 Hello from Germany 🤝

love your vids

That dog was so cute omg

I think it broke upside down because between not having the trucks/wheels in the system, and hitting it offset, you made the length taking the bend shorter... As for the lengthways split, that was along the layer lines, the weakest part of any fff 3d print (i.e not resin or sla printing)

Longboards are honestly my favorite

The Lance clips!!! Please send our greetings and love next time you talk to him!

My old flex deck broke after couple of fast hits to the nose after falling and shooting board into curb and wall by accident, a little split between layers at nose and lost all strength. Couldn't ride afterwards as deck would hit floor unless perfectly standing above trucks.

I enjoy the AK Picture Me Rollin’ and Ridin’ mash-up.

Go little dude 👍😎

I forgot how sick that park looks. I don't skate but it looks so fun.

I would install one of the trucks closer to a center of the deck in order to make an improvised tail from one side, it would make cruising and doing tricks a lot easier. Even though the lack of tails is questionable, I like the idea of 3d-printed carbon fiber board.

That packaging was like a Magician pulling scarves from his sleeve. 😂

I think the difference that made it break was that you had it up on the curb, which increased the angle of the bend. I don't think it was because it was the opposite direction. I think it might have survived the second time if you had flipped the board over and put the trucks on the bottom instead of the top.

Bolt some trucks risers on top of the deck, maybe that gives you enough tail action

What adidas model are on Glo?

you guys trying to break it is a brilliant idea especially if the person who sends the board wants their board to be an actual product it will help the designer/builder create something that's stronger, it lets them fix the flaws of the board.

throwback faces made me smile

Go longboarding with the landyachtz crew, they make some awesome boards in loads of shapes and styles

Why was Freemont closed ??

I love your vids

"it rides like a beautiful unicorn 🦄" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

why was fremont closed?

Would a standard longboard deck have survived the first drive over?

Drill 2 new holes to move the trucks back then put some regular trucks and wheels.

14:39 Gabe Cruzing 😂

Is my dream board🥰🥰

General question have guys done a gorilla glue skateboard and will it break

I know normal carbon fiber is a weaved polymer so it has a machine direction and a cross direction. The machine direction is very strong but the cross direction is much weaker. I’m not sure how this translates to 3d printed carbon fiber, but this could explain it.

You know how it's easier to rip printer paper vertically than it is due to how the fibers are arranged? Seems very likely that the 3D printed carbon fibers have a specific arrangement that gives them greater tensile strength for the kinds of flex typical of skateboard use than for other kinds of flex. Denser fiber structure on top, looser structure on bottom to allow flex.

Yo seeing Lance in the flashback straight up made me cry. WHERE IS THE TIME GONE R.I.P.!

10:51 that trick should be called "literal bager" like Aaron said😂

first🎉🎉 keep up the work yo👍

just add a 1/4" longer screw and the truck-tail of another board overlapped on top to get a pop end

I got a new skateboard from decathlon wish i can learn to skate

After a week of skating I landed my first Kickflip 💪🏻💪🏻

Now we need a truck deck❤

Lol Glo said "we got a shredder..." made me think of a joke. Somebody call the Ninja Turtles........we got THE SHREDDER! 😂

That was interesting

ABS is a type of plastic material used for 3-D printing, infusing it with carbon fiber makes it more difficult to print with but really improves strength.

We need a video featuring Glo's hat collection.

Why was Fremont closed I missed it

SKATEGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is wild that its flexible one direction.

There not at woodward anymore kinda sad not really tho

Finally, a deck that makes the *donk* noise when you stack.

You know it’s warm outside when glo wears a tee

Back in 2008 while i was in Iraq i ordered a full carbon fiber deck from a company called turtle decks. It felt great and lasted the entire time and i left it there for the unit that replaced us. I wish i kept it because i can't find that company anymore. My only issue was it was really thin and didn't flex much which made the shinners really bad.

There are longboards with double kicks out there.

man i love ur vids

IM Still waiting for a 3D printed bike hub

Will do next lol

ARRONNNNNNN

Nice

we need a Gabe Cruiser Board

that thumbnail made me wonder if you have ever used carpet as grip tape and if not, i would love to see that

Lance woah

You should make a concrete wheels

didn't think it would explode like that

so the first carbon fiber skate board is not really a skate board but a long board that s so great

these days they make everything out of carbon fiber

Cruze definitely cruisin

That deck should be wrapped in some kind of very durable rubber to make it more absorbent of the road feedback.

Gabe with the anti-pun on the drop-in, "Now you're pushing it." 😂

Submarine skateboard when

From me, "science people" =] -Generally speaking a bi directional will be a woven fiber, where a uni will be a non woven. Woven fabrics have fibers running in two directions and as such will be more isotropic. Even with two directions, a laminate generally will use alternating orientation in order to have close to true in plane isotropy. Woven fibers are interlaced as one fiber will go over and under another fiber. As such, woven fibers have crimp which can affect the materials properties. Such effects can be increased abrasion resistance, drapability, and stiffness. A unidirectional fiber has all of the fibers running in one direction, as such the strength of the material will be anisotropic. These materials need to be oriented in multiple orientations in order to achieve some level of isotropy. Because of this, unidirectional parts can be more tailored to the loads the part will see. Using unidirectional, allows parts to be made more efficient (strength to weight). Also unidirectional tends to have a higher fiber volume and lower resin content than a woven as there is no crimp in a unidirectional fabric. Solid uni parts also tend to have lower damage tolerance than a similar part made from a woven material. Unidirectional parts need to have more layers in order to create a more isotropic laminate. As such the layup process involves more steps which can increase the production times. Unidirectional is usually used in more highly loaded parts and in parts that need the highest strength to weight ratio possible. This is what I'm guessing is the bare bones of it. The fibers are "printed" in a specific patter that allows more malleable function of the material from a specific weight force direction.

lands on hands - that’s why he has kneepads on. Cool product but what I always wondering is who will buy it at this price point?

i ❤ aaron kyro the true goat

its kinda like a a carbon fiber cylinder, great at taking pressure in one direction, like a pressure tank, but terrible at taking compression, like a submersible. supposedly.

They should print trucks and wheels too!!

The future

Young’s modulus

I think we have the technology to make functional 3D printed trucks at this point

Seeing the car near the board made me think of Napoleon Dynamite

Someone call Master Splinter , we got a Shredder

It can’t flex the other way because of the concave

Aaron let's run it over with the car instantly breaks😂 now i feel bad that we broke it lol. longboards are meant to only cruise like a surfboard and only flex one way

It didn't break with the wheels on the ground, because it bottomed out. Flipped over on the curb the truck baseplates helped it break the way it did. We did that same experiment , in 1993 running over a skateboard I made in metal shop out of bullet proof plastic, it did the dame thing. We didn't flip it over.

In defense of this boards price point vs their reference, I wouldn't pay 180 for a sector 9, they feel rough

Nice video and seems like a quality product, a shame it had to be destroyed but...the ring must be destroyed 😎👌 love braille ❤ also cool to see Freemont again, oh the memories, i really hope lance is enjoying life cuz he Is a really cool and funny guy(hope he brings that to being a cop they need to be chill)

You should maybe return it to see if they can re-recycle the board!

Now all tha true sk8ters go from braille

A 3d printer is essentially a hot glue gun that melts layers on top of layers to build a thing. Where the layers bond together creates a weak spot. That lengthwise break was right on the layer line where the break across was against the layer lines. I mean you drove your car on it so yeah it'll fail.

call him Gabe Cruzington

If they 3d printered this flat deck they could just make it conventional way by pressing stuff. 3d printing is necessary with harder shapes and structures
