History
This fellow is a custom build. I put it together with the intention of instruction, so it is as beginner-friendly, as cheap, and as recoverable as possible.
The board consists of:
Quest 5.25" Trucks, (Very nice and would highly recommend)
Standard ABEC-7 Bearings
Pennyboard 78A 59mm Soft Wheels
The deck itself has a more interesting background. I picked it up coming out of lab for MATSCI24, taught by Dr. Daryl Chrzyn.
In that lab, we put a couple skateboard decks into a hydraulic press to find the breaking point, for science. (The ends are sawed off because the intact board didn't fit into the hydraulic press)
The deck cracked at ~800lbs, and upon inspection, I decided that the deck was still ride-able, and thus took it back home and built it into a full board.
