      Actually, that's the problem with boards like this though. The less they are capable of breaking and the more of a 100% rebound you get on impact, the higher the chance _your_ bones will break, instead of the skateboard. A hybrid skateboard makes _some_ sense in context of durability, but a 100% carbon one really does not make sense at all. It changes the physics involved and can actually be very dangerous. Not to mention how these boards are insanely overpriced. I'm not trying to hate on their efforts, but Lithe skateboards aren't it.

  • @CrossWindsPat

    The loss of pop comes from the board aging and attaining moisture etc. But I do also think its affected by the tail since the thickness has been reduced on the point of contact means there is less force pushing the board up that moment you pop.

    The flexibility of the thinner edge of a razor-tail board absolutely results in less pop. At the moment of contact, the thin edge hits the ground and inelastically deforms. This transfers most of the energy to bending the thin edge instead of moving it up.

      Uhm, wrong. The pop of a skateboard doesn't come from whatever the edge of a tail or nose is like in terms of thickness. The pop comes from the overall stiffness of the board and the way the board is able to flex and rebound. The board being a few mm shorter has pretty much no impact on pop when a deck is still fresh / new. Ironically, boards like the Powell Flight decks pretty much never lose their pop, which is due to the material of the board, not something related to razor tails. In fact, one of my Flight decks had insane razor tail and _still_ had a crazy pop. Still extremely skateable. With the way physics work, you can't 'bend' the outer edge of a tail or nose. The physics stay the same.

    While the thought of an indestructible skateboard may be appealing to some I think I can speak on behalf of my old skater buddies when I say that, wearing out a deck is like a badge of honor, and some of us kept those badges in a stack in our closets and garages. And looking forward to a new graphic helped keep the sting out of breaking an old deck.
    These "unbreakable" Boards are 'neat' and I'm sure they work great, but I prefer something with more soul and character behind it. Having old decks around is kind of like having a photo album of memories to look back on.

After COVID hit we faced nonstop delays from the manufacturer. At the beginning of the year we began making our own small factory in LA to transition back to USA.

    They are rubbish, I had 2x decks from Lithe, each cost me 200 dollars each plus shipping to UK plus vat and duty. Overall, both of them snapped on the tail after just a couple of days. I am sorry but powell peralta flight decks are way stronger and actually cheaper. Recently I was riding Santa Cruz VX - although it chipped a bit, it is even cheaper than the flight deck here in the UK and also very durable. Creature Skateboards were also producing some VX technology decks and they have some sick graphics.
    Rosolowski brothers (the owners of Lithe) were also quite rude to me on their instagram when I pointed it out.
    Overall, if you want something more than regular 7 ply, go for either powell peralta flight or VX deck, you will not be disappointed.
