Question 1

What is Core-Tech and why buy it?

Accepted Answer

We replace one or more of the maple ply's with one of our patented, uniquely strong core-tech tri-core ply's. This results in a stiffer, stronger board with longer tail life. Core-Tech decks are one of the most responsive and advanced skateboards ever hand screened in the USA!

Question 2

Payment Process

Accepted Answer

Currently, Skate Season only offers online purchases via Paypal.

Question 3

Do you offer returns?

Accepted Answer

All longboards and decks can be returned free of charge with a full refund ONLY if there is a factory or manufacturing defect. Unfortunately, we do not accept returns or offer refunds for fully broken decks.

Question 4

Buying wholesale?

Accepted Answer

Skate Season sells blank decks and other certain products wholesale. You can email scott@skateseason.com for more info.

Question 5

What is a Hybrid Skate Bearing?

Accepted Answer

Our patended hybrid skate bearing design combines one silicone nitride black ceramic ball with 6 steel bearings. Using less than a complete set of ceramic balls offers many of the same benefits of a full ceramic, but at a lower cost. The single silicone nitride ball (one of the hardest materials on earth) helps to lower the friction of the bearing as a whole, and requires less lubrication than a full steel set. As with full ceramic bearings, the density of the single ceramic ball creates a "grindstone" effect inside the bearing case, buffing out imperfections and effectively creating a "self healing" effect.

Question 6

Why ABEC Rating?

Accepted Answer

The term "ABEC" came from the Annular Bearing Engineering Committee- an organization founded during WWII in order to ensure the right quality bearing for the right application; such as machinery, warplanes, and even spacecrafts. The term has evolved, along with skateboarding, right into the modern skate bearing factory, being re-appropriated to fit skateboards. The higher the "ABEC" rating, the tighter the precision rating, the faster the bearing will spin, and the longer it will last under high speeds and stress.

Question 7

The Waterproof Metal

Accepted Answer

Stainless steel = Waterproof.  Stainless steel is a steel alloy metal with the addition of a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass. It does't corrode or rust like normal carbon steel, which begins to oxidize and rust when exposed to moisture. This is due to the added chromium forming a protective film against the iron oxides, which produce rust and break down the metal. This means no rust, and the metal maintains its strength from the inside out.
