Hey everyone.
I live in canada, and as most of you probably know its cold at this time of year. What i want to know is at what temperature the board begins to be affected. I here that cold temperature makes it easier to snap decks. What is the lowest temperature a deck should be skated at without risk of easy snapage?
Thanks in advance.
umm i didnt know that boards will have an easier time snapping in the cold so cant help u soz
uhh, they arent effected unless they are outside below freezing 32f for a while. like if you went out to skate in 20 degree weather, you would probably be fine. but if you left it out over night below 30, it might affect it.

I heard that if you skate in cold weather the board loses its moisture and loses its flex therefore making it weaker. I am not talking about 20, im talking about -1 to like -12

Man I also live in Canada and Iv skated in a good -17C with windchill and my board never snapped. It would have to be left out a pretty long time for it to effect the wood, so dont worry about it.
