The SPEEDBONE

superlight bonecore* construction downhill deck / speedboard

• dimensions: 1070 x 238 mm, 825mm wheelbase
• translates to approx.: 42 x 9.4", 32.5" wb
• 16mm overall thickness, 5mm in the sandwiched top layers (edge)
• linear "gaspedal"-concave (flat in the middle)
• baseplate cutouts for CNC´ed POGO "drop-in" baseplates (can be altered by buyer with file or router to fit for other truck´s baseplates)
(Pogo baseplates can be ordered and shipped in the same package for intl. buyers if wished.)
• for wheel clearance it is highly recommended to set this deck up with at least 170mm hangers.

This is NOT a toy but serious racing equipment!
It´s unique bonecore* makes it very light but durable and shock-absorbing / vibration-damp with an exceptional torsion stiffness for a most precise ride.

*bonecore = a triple-torsionbox hybrid core: combined sandwich and monocoque construction with Airex R63.5 foamcore + UD carbon wrapped baltic birch stringer in seperate fibreglass caps.

components:
• UD carbon (multiple layers)
• UD fibreglass
• +- 45° layered fibreglass
• +- 30° layered fibreglass
• 0/90° fibreglass weave
• ash-veneer
• baltic birch
• Airex R63.5 foam
• Vacuum laminated and heatcured.

TESTIMONIALS:

Ryan, Virginia, USA on silverfishlongboarding.com:

"... It appears to be zero torsion and if not extremely close to it.
Drifitng in corners at speed it is amazing, your feet grip perfectly with the concave and it holds line nicely.
I guess I could get it lower by actualy dropping through the pogos, but that would be pointless and way to low.
I have owned a evo, ly dh, kebbek flushcut, and one homeade dropped board. I thought that dropped platform boards were the only thing for me, and to be honest I was pretty sceptable that I would like the wefunk. After riding the wefunk though I have to say that it is the best dh board I have ridden, hands down no contest. It accelerates like mad and and corners amazingly."

 

"Directive0" Toronto, Canada on silverfishlongboarding.com:

" Alex has put alot of time and effort into finding how to dial in a "programmed flex" and its that aim that gives the speedbone its unique layup and shape. Wefunk boards are not mass produced dime a dozen boards, and they are not "cheap". They are an investment in calibrated and controlled skateboard engineering, and as someone else said: if I had a choice of engineers to design my gear for me, Alex would be in a labcoat faster then you can say "veneer"."

Adrian "A-Drain" Alderson, skateshop owner Townsville, Australia on silverfishlongboarding.com:
"After months of waiting the Pogo plates finally arrived yesterday and today I setup Speedbone #1 with them and Jim Z hangers and Avilas. We took it out to our "practice hill" and I had planned to only ride it a couple of times, then hang it on the wall as a collectors item, I'm afraid that isn't going to happen. It instantly became my favourite deck from the moment I stepped onto it. The way it grips your feet, the slight flex before the torsion beam brings it to an abrupt halt, the accuracy and manoeverability, and most of all, how light it is when it has to be carried back up the hill. I love this board and the only way it'll end on a wall is if I buy another, so I am saving my cash."

Boris "rincon" Schinke on Longboardz.de forum (before he became a teamrider):
"... durfte ich dann auch mal sein Deck antesten. Das Ergebnis war in vielerlei Hinsicht verblüffend und ist wohl am ehesten noch mit einem ersten Brückenschlag zwischen herkömmlichen Holzdecks und dem Hoverboard aus "Zurück in die Zukunft" vergleichbar. Während andere Decks sich unter meinen Füßen immer wie eine Art Fremdkörper, den es bestmöglichst zu kontrollieren galt, anfühlten, so verhielt sich der Speedbone eher wie ein Teil von mir. Anfängliche Befürchtungen, dass sich das Deck aufgrund seines geringen Gewichts einem Resonanzkörper gleich aufschaukeln könnte, bestätigten sich nicht. Im Gegenteil - nicht nur überraschte mich die schon bei geringem Kraftaufwand übermässig effektive Bremswirkung und das absolut präzise Lenkverhalten, sondern vor allem auch die enorme Laufruhe des Decks (bzw. Systems).
Ein Wahnsinnsdeck dessen Name wahrhaft Programm ist!!!"
