DBX Construction Part 2: Ishod Wair, Patrick Praman, Cody Chapman, Gus and Cyprus
Ishod, Cody, Gus, Patrick and Cyprus ride the new DBX Construction decks and share why DBX is their deck of choice.
The new DBX decks are built for an ultra-responsive feel - light, quick and consistent - with performance that holds up throughout the life of the board.
Each deck is constructed with three layers of interwoven basalt, four standard-thickness interior veneers and two thinner face veneers. They’re hand-laid and precision-pressed in single moulds to meet exact specs.
What is basalt - and why use it on a skateboard deck?
Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock formed when molten lava cools rapidly. It’s known for multidimensional strength properties. Using three basalt layers boosts structural integrity and stiffness, while giving the maple veneers a “backbone” that maximises the wood’s natural resonance.
