Birdhouse Skateboard Construction Technology

• Black 6 skateboard deck: A hard rock Canadian maple 7-ply skateboard deck. Its focus is a thicker 6th ply that provides added strength and stiffness with very little increase in overall weight. The Black 6 uses super strong UltraBond Glue that keeps the board’s original pop longer than the standard industry decks. A square top rail gives the deck more surface area, which adds the feel of having a wider board.
• “Old School” Birdhouse Skateboards also has designs that are made specifically for the classic and retro riders.
