We Built A Spinning Skatepark On Ice! – Red Bull Skateboarding

Extrapolating the ‘what if-?’ nature of our skateboarding projects within the elements to the nth degree once more, cold-weather commando Ryan Decenzo enlisted team-mates TJ Rogers and Torey Pudwill to take up the all-new, sub-zero rotational challenges of Ice Carousel!

Four individual spinning frozen circles each with progressively more challenging skate terrain lay in wait for our intrepid trio: Field Goal, Spinning Quarterpipe, Bank 2 Bank and Spinning Circle Rail all demanded our crew went all-in as the sun sank in the sky and temperatures went from just freezing to really freezing.

As Torey observes at the midway point: “The longer you try it, the harsher it gets!”

See how they managed to navigate the shredding challenges in the video above, as we continue to push the boundaries of possibility and good sense in the pursuit of skateboarding fun!

As leader of the charge Ryan Decenzo reflects about Ice Carousel versus his previous snowbound adventures: “We’re skateboarding extreme to the power of three- this was way gnarlier than the other snow ones that I did!”

Mason Silva, Grant Taylor and Mike Anderson for DBX Deck Construction.

The new DBX decks were designed for an ultra-responsive, light, and quick feel with lasting consistency throughout the lifetime of the board. They are lighter, thinner, and stronger than traditional 7-ply decks.

Unlike typical composite decks focused solely on strength, DBX decks are designed not only for strength but also with an emphasis on response, feel, pop, and overall lasting performance over the life of your board.

Constructed using 3 layers of interwoven basalt with 4 standard-thickness interior veneers, and 2 thinner face veneers. Hand-laid up and precision-pressed in single molds to meet exact specs.

WHAT IS BASALT – AND WHY USE IT ON A SKATEBOARD DECK?

Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock formed by rapidly cooling molten lava, known for its multidimensional strength properties. The 3 basalt layers improve the deck’s structural integrity and stiffness while giving the maple veneers a ‘backbone’ that maximizes the wood’s natural resonance.

DBX decks are available now at your favorite local Skateshop.
