There is some new Skateboard Technology out of the city of Philadelphia. The P-Tip.
The Tips will not chip or suffer from Razor tail as the tips are replaceable. The decks will retail for the same as a regular deck and the replacement tips will only cost $8 each, which includes hardware and a allen key. If you are going through your tips a lot it’s like getting a new deck for $8! In addition the Tips are recyclable so when they are shredded they can through them into the recycling bin!
great idea ill try it out but i think ill stick to the regular One decks. they are such good decks. very sturdy and lots of pop. This could be really good for freestyle skating prob. Or anything really i guess. ill shut up
Are you kidding me? ONE ridiculous idea. Make a metal skateboard and it will last forever!
I miss skateboard graphics.
wasnt this done in the 80’s?
I like the idea of replaceable tips, but I’d like to see ’em with square tails an’ shit. I’ve also read that the tips are slick. I’d like to be able to skid to a stop without worrying about fukking up my tail. I’m glad, though, to see ’em in eight and a half. Maybe they can bump ’em up to 8.75? And put some hot graphics on there! Seriously, there are plenty of talented artists looking for work.
good idea…but skateboarders will most allway’s be traditionalists. ironic though considering everything we do goes against the grain of the mainstream thought buble of walking from a to b.
Nugget no worries we have graphic decks coming out in P-Tips as well George we are looking to have decks all the way up to 9″ and with square tail options, they will be coming out later. If you know of any talented artists who need work tell them to contact us we are always looking to do collaborations! We had stuff done by PHEO, Kip Frace and trying to get a few graphics from Errand Boy. Chris glad you like our standard decks, if thats what you like keep rolling with those but we will have demo boards to try at the event on Nov 8th. A$$hole: This was developed in Europe in the later 90’s and landed here for a short time. We have improved it over the last 1.5 yrs. there sick! Ricky you need to try one! Nov 8th at Whitehall.
Crust and Butter: Thanks for the props and you are right there will be some opposition to change there always is even in skateboarding. But this economy the way it is people vote with their wallet and the value that this technology provides for the price, parents will be sure to get there young ones on these. Also anyone else who is tired of chipping and replacing decks all the time and on a limited budget it becomes a viable option. Skate better longer with the P-Tip. We will be demoing them at the Nov 8th Whitehall event, stop on by and give it a try!
skate or die……..
Sounds like another bullshit gimmick to me. skate and destory..A man’s skateboard is made of 7 ply maple..Not some pussy shit..Anti-Hero style
I had a Chapman board with that shit back in the day…It was kinda weird to get used too…I never got around to changing it (the plastic piece), cause that shit broke…It’s not that it’s a stupid idea. It’s all about trial and error. Props to One for trying something different.
Dear ‘I don’t believe the hype’, A man’s skateboard is made out of 11-plys of Canadian Maple. (Obviously something you know nothing about…)
My skate deck board be made from 23 plays of bambo home made from land of AZN friends wich we use and pray outside wiff
Isn’t the heart and soul of an ollie is the clean snap of hard rock maple on concrete? No plastic tip can ever recreate that.
Cast these into the lake of fire.Start a shoe company.
The decks are 7 ply Canadian Hard Rock Maple, we mill down the tips slightly and cap them with a Composite Tip (not plastic)which is made of Nylon and Fiberweave and some other good stuff which is light weight and strong. I know that there is a lot of “hyped up” technology out there this is not one of them, this actually works as it addresses the problem at the place where the board interacts with the ground. All of our riders ride them and we have tested this for over 1.5yrs with all sorts of skaters. The only way you will know for sure is to try them and we will have a few Demo boards to try at the Nov 8th Whitehall event, starts at 12 noon see you all there!
guess we all gotta shut up and try it -huh?
For something such as skateboarding to be a free for all thing to do….seems like people put alot of rules and boundaries on it…Kind ironic..
I’ve ridden these boards before and they’re sick. You don’t feel any difference between normal decks and these. The tips are set into the wood, so it lies in the normal position of your nose/tail. And the tips aren’t normal plastic, so they aren’t so slick. It’s a real bitchin’ idea, if you ask me.
Yes, it is new and it is not wood. Anyone who has been skating for more then 5 years more then likely is used to wood and will not change. However, anyone who skated in the 80’s had at least one board with a skid plate, which ruined your skateboard. It actually made it impossible to ollie. This is a good idea for those beginner kids who need to destroy their board so they can learn. It’s also good for old dog heads like Gorge who wont buy a new board, new computer or new sneakers. Good luck AJ. You have always been true to your self. It takes balls to do that around here.
shoes with bulletproof junk all over them and boards with lazer beams… at the end of the day a core skateshop doesn’t sell what they think parents will throw cash at, they sale what real skateboarders want to skate.
Thanks Nugget and others for the kind words and well wishes. To extricate the P-Tip system is not a skid plate, Skid plates got in the way of the leverage, the P-Tip is integrated into the deck so the leverage is the same as a standard deck but the response and durability of the tips of the deck is improved equaling improved performance. I been skating 18yrs and was skeptical at first and so where our riders but they all experienced the benefits of this system. For those who are skeptical come on out and try one you will be pleasantly surprised! See you Nov 8th (or rain date of the 9th)at Whitehall to take the P-Tip Challenge!
SDotMilla: As it relates to Core Shops we only sell to Core shops. You won’t find us in Zumiez or other corporate Mall Chain Stores how many of your “Core” brands can say that? Anyone can buy and sell standard skate decks but the One P-Tip Decks are for Core retailers. The P-Tip system allows retailers better margins on decks and creating accessory sales while providing the consumer with a better performing product at the same cost. Its win win for all concerned. As for customers they vote with their wallet and lets face it most people these days are on a budget as well as the highest growing # of skaters are kids who’s parents buy the equipment, why not offer something that brings them out of the malls and into your “Core” Shop. Makes sense to me. See you Saturday! :)
All your base are covered by AJ.
I think i will stick to real skateboards and the streets. G-Code. Somebody needs to go skate and stay off the computer trying to preach about whitehall events and penis tips. NOW KIDDIES IF YOU WANNA SEE SOMETHING AWESOME CHECK OUT PLAN B’s NEW VIDEO ON THERE WEBSITE. that’s no bullshit
plastic tips, totally weak, thats like wearing a condom or designated driving. skaters are raw, were supposed to break shit remember??????
Thanks for keeping freestyle alive! Now there’s 6 of us! Send me some tips, dude. I pogo’ed the shit out of my board last night.
ok….all jokes aside…Sheckler’s part IS awesome. Dude murdered shit, and that was just his promo part.
Will it make me spontaneously mctwist? If not, I’m gonna go back to waiting for my hoverboard.
ki, you might be the weakest human on earth.
I guess this is where I get extra pissed and tell off the idiot who said that…Yeah, My bad..I gave Sheckler props…sorry. I should be burned at the skate cross…haha…
Posting as Sheckler is lamer then skid plates. I love how no one ever posts comments in their own name when they want to talk smack. Grow some nutz!
i mean Grow some nugz!
You can use a fake name, but have the board knows everyone’s true identitty.
Trust me..I said it once and I said it again. The internet messege boards breed cowards. Remember…the same dudes talking this shit are the same ones to bro down with you to your face..I love it. I stick by any and every opinion I post..I’ll say it here and on the street. And I have met most of the regs who post here, and I know they are the same way…Man up or shut up!
DAMN IT! THEIR NOT SKID PLATES!
This is fucking gay.
This is fucking gay.
ONE = a very cool comapany run by awesome people i love internet post drama i dont think it can get better and i think someone should put up a post specifically for bitchen on the boards that will sure get that thing moving and active again
