: Hi!
: I have more friends and using more materials.
:
: Polietilene - 10mm is good for Street Skates.
: Aluminium - 5mm is good for Stree and Vert.
: Carbon - 5mm is better than aluminum.

: In one month, I think has my new carbon plates with Tracker contour.

Sounds very interesting. I have the aluminium variant. Keep us updated with respect to the carbon plates. Maybe you also have a picture of the polyethylene plates?

	What about titanium? Its pricey though. For bikes, its ultra lightweight, the top for race bikes and gives a smoother ride then aluminum with more narrow, stronger, lighter tubes. I worked in a bike shop lol. I have no idea how it fits in with plates though. : Has anyone used flat sheets of magnesium to make plates? : Is this material too soft to be thin? : It's supposed to be lightweight.
