Looks like Polycarbonate can be used for skate decks. A lot heavier than wood I'd guess.

And: heat it to 325F-340F, drape it over a mold to cool and you'll have concave!
distributionbizwiz.wordpress.com/2007/08/22/machining-forming-polycarbonate/

Polycarb is also commonly called Lexan (a brand name polycarb), you need to press it when heated, because it will conform to the shape you drape it over but it "springs" back when it starts to cool, you will still have some concave but it wont be identic.

plenty of experience working with the stuff, (robots built out of it, safety screens made out of it, race car windshields made out of it. played with it alot)

also it expands with heat, on a hot day it can expand up to something like 1cm per 50cm.

Cracking isnt much of an issue with it but if it isnt thick enough it will flex like a gymnast warming up.

you might get away with 8mm but i think it could be pretty flexy, would be very keen to see how it would go though

Well, the freebord made slashers are 80mm so that's definitely a tried and true size. I've personally used 80mm wheels 78, 76, 75 and 70 (at least i think that's the size of the stock wheels). If you're not buying wheels from freebord, my suggestion would be o-tang in-heats. Haven't used the new baluts, they look promising though.

He's talking about centres slimmy.

Ahhhhhh, then I've no experience outside of freebord made centers. Chubbs and 72mm. Pretty sure Mike Hoppe has experimented plenty with centers and edges, look for posts by him, I know there are some in the forum.

I myself have been looking at Labeda Asphalts, which he suggests, they come in an 80 size...and they're cheap as fuck, as well at the same design (just bigger) as freebord 72's
