Almost Tech
Just when everyone thought skateboarding decks, trucks and wheels had become standardized, the two most technical skaters in the game decided to add their own "tech" to the mix. Rodney Mullen and Daewon Song have been brewing up some creative and functional new technologies to stuff into their Almost skateboard decks.

The first of these innovations is Impact Support which helps prevent breakage and prolong the pop of their skateboard decks. With Almost's Impact Support, a carbon fiber disc is added into a die cut area where the base of each truck would attach to the deck. This carbon fiber plate is much stronger and more resilient than wood, and therefore can take much more abuse from hard landings and regular heavy abuse. Almost Impact Support Decks are about $60, not much more than most high end skateboard decks. Almost Skateboards also uses epoxy resin in their decks which is much stronger than the standard glue used to bond skateboard plys together. Because epoxy resin is stronger, less of it can be used, which will in turn make the skateboard deck significantly lighter.

Almost also introduced their Uber Light series which are essentially the lightest high quality skateboard decks ever made. The secret is a foam and carbon fiber core that makes these Uber Light skate decks extremely light and gives them a pop your grandkids will be able to enjoy. Almost Uber Light decks don't come cheap and are usually around $100.

Almost is well aware that these new technologies don't come cheap, but they're also in tune with the reality that most skateboarders would rather be skating than working. Almost recently introduced their Tuff Times series of wallet friendly skateboard decks to show that they care. The Tuff Times series from Almost features 7 ply epoxy resin construction with simple one color graphics to keep the cost down. Great quality and performance for about $40.

The Almost Skateboards team consists of heavy hitters Rodney Mullen, Daewon Song, Chris Haslam, Greg Lutzka, Torey Pudwill, Cooper Wilt & Lewis Marnell. For more information on these new skateboard technologies, check out the Almost Catalog or the Almost Website.
