Element Skateboards

Element Skateboards History

Element Skateboards is a highly successful skateboard company based in Irvine, California. Its roots were originally planted in Atlanta, Georgia in 1992 under the name Underworld Element. Commonly known as U.E. or Underworld, the company began to grow and change pace. So did the company name. The decision was made to drop Underworld, and it became known simply as Element.

Element Skateboards adopted the principles of martial arts and the purities that were associated with it. They wanted to separate themselves as a company from their competition by making it a universal company that all people could personally identify with. They began to focus their attention on the future of the brand; what it represented and the way the world perceived it.

In an effort to shine a positive light on the global skateboarding community, Element Skateboards created the masterful Department of Elementology. With the idea of designing innovative and quality products that promote an environmentally-friendly skate culture, Element created programs such as Elemental Awareness and Element Endangered.

Element Skateboards Construction Technology

• Push features a Featherlight Helium deck with carbon fiber inlay. The epoxy inlay provides added strength and helps to displace shock. The Element Push is a definite choice for high impact skateboarding.
• Helium incorporates five patented air frame chambers making it the lightest full size deck while maintaining the stiff and responsive feel.
  
• Highlight features 3 rigid fiberglass beams and preloaded tension for higher ollies. This creates the lightweight and responsive performance for one of the thinnest full sized boards.
• Featherlight is made of 7 ply maple construction. The Element Featherlight skateboard has set the industry standard for premium construction design with performance concave and thinner veneers compared to other models.
• Fiberlight is the thinnest full size board with a fiberglass inlay. The Fiberlight deck helps to shift energy away from the breaking point while providing preloaded tension for better pop.
• Thriftwood is made with traditional seven maple ply for a thicker and stiffer feel and great value.
• Twig is the thinnest and lightest deck and scaled down to fit the littlest rippers.
