Why China Hot Presses Skateboards & USA Cold Presses Skateboards 

Yep❤

Bingo

Not anymore. Carbon fiber is going to take over.

​@@TacoTuesday4too expensive

The plies separated? Had nothing to do with the bolts you used. They lied to you.

We've prob all seen board making vids, it looks simple enough anyone can do it, right? The devils always in the details and wood veneers and resin can be easily cheaped out on

@@toynazi thats what im saying. they are hiding behind the no returns sign. lol

That would be interesting to see actually, my guess is that skaters would be able to tell the difference but who knows

😂😂

Yeah, I can't stand PS Stix boards; they got even worse when Covid hit and messed up the wood supply. Dwindle boards such as Madness from the same period MASSIVELY outperformed Schmitt's sticks, so I don't know what the heck he's getting on about saying the Chinese process is damaging the nanotubes. I got 1 damn month out of a PS Stix Lance Mountain deck before the nose fucking exploded. I rode a Sam Beckett Madness from Dwindle for over a year without it ever losing pop, cracking, or otherwise giving up on me. Board is still in the quiver with plenty of life left in it, lol. This discussion doesn't pass the sniff test for me. Schmitt does a great job hyping himself with scientific-sounding talk, but his boards don't stack up to his claims. LOL

BBS are best to me

If the science checks out, his bias doesn't matter.

Bias isn’t a factor in Scientific truths

Every 2-3 weeks?! 😳. Damn dude! I had decks that I skated until the nose was gone and I was at the riser. I got good at nosepickers specifically because I had to hang five to make it work. You got spoiled.

@@keirfarnum6811 haha i had a job, but it also helped that i was getting mad deals for them lol

I only use USA made boards

@@Daveeeeeeyhowyoudoing😂

North America includes Mexico 😐🫥

@@joicobbs1he said that… goofy

@@joicobbs1Thats what he is saying. The video title says united states and he was correcting that most North American boards are made in Mexico not the USA

yes but only because the only negatives to cold pressing is it takes more time. which usually results in a superior product

Are you new to skating my man? Try his boards or BBS boards made in mexico vs santa cruz chinese trash, there is a world of difference. Dude knows what he is talking about.

Cmon dude. Chinese manufacturing is cheap across the board

He may have talked about that on his first episode

I only skated Schmitt Stix. They were the only decks with enough concave. Ripsaws were excellent. Had two of those. I only broke two decks over the years I skated BTW. I literally wore them out over time. But then I would skate trucks until I was almost all the way through the axel too.

Powells sucked. They only got away with it because bowl and half pipes was the only kind of skating happening. But when street skating and ollies became a thing, Powell had to modernize.

@@keirfarnum6811 why would you even say that. old school street skating on Powell Peralta decks, wheels, and bones bearings contributed maybe more to the development of new school tricks than anything else ever.

I swear the only boards that way about was elements. They made me skate ramps better. Don't know if it was a placebo affect or what😅

That's why ANYTHING made in Mexico is SHIT, like Fluidmaster.

companies in all industries do this. see it alot in accessories for cameras and auto and tools.

I think he inadvertently demonstrated that what Professor Schmitt was saying is somewhat bogus, or at least only one factor amongst many that define a board's characteristics.

Basically all the well-known brands (FA/HOCKEY, Real, Baker, Alien Workshop, Element, Heroin, etc. etc). If you're at a brick & mortar skate shop in the US (not browsing Amazon or the toy aisle at a department store), odds are every deck on the wall was cold pressed at either BBS, PS Stix, Clutch, or Dwindle.

No, you can tell by the weight however. Cold are a little heavier.

Same. Skated Schmitt Stix and had to go Santa Cruz when Schmitt went out of business. But I blew my knee out soon after and that Santa Cruz ended up being my last deck. It was definitely not as good as the Schmitt Stix.

That’s how they’re made.

@@keirfarnum6811 oh I thought it was just mostly glue

I dont understand why some people in the US keeps underestimating China´s quality. So pathetic...

So he's not talking facts?

He’s a weird dude. He either genuinely has old info, which is very unlikely, or he’s trying to talk up North American factories (Mexico) because he runs one.

Shut up ...

​@@andresarregui3417shut up

shout out to the local rippers rocking the janky bearings and flatspotted wheels and the chipped up shop board shredding out the new wave

The majority I think are, there’s been a few reissues though pressed at PS Stix 👀

yes, and I've never noticed anything weird about their product

If they are made in a Chinese factory. Apparently

I knew people who liked these and they'd be flexible by the end of the first session 🥲

do more research, simple. most boards are made in mexico anyway lol

haha what are you talking about? go take eco 101

Damn these companies trying to profit are so unethical, they should just give you free boards and some lunch money

Is that true?

You’re the devil
