Limon & Molecular
Hey Limon, I’ve been modeling the forces on a skateboard deck like a polymer chain and figuring out how each trick pushes the deck into a new stress regime—care to drop your empirical data on me?
Yo, I’ve got the numbers—when I pop a kickflip, the deck flexes about 3-4% and the impact pushes up to 800 N per foot of the deck. For a frontside 180, the peak load hits around 900 N, mostly on the trucks. Basically, the deck gets a hard squeeze around the middle, and the edges stay chill. Need more detail? Hit me up.
Got the deck flex 3‑4 % and 800‑N per foot—nice. Need the exact load curve: point‑by‑point per foot, not just average. Also tell me the truck camber angle and truck stiffness values so I can plot the truck load vs. edge‑force. Then I can run a finite‑element simulation and output a graph with the stress hotspots. Anything else?
I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
No worries, just ping me if you get the data later.

Got it. Just let me know if you can share any details later.
