with skatelite there is no winter issues that stuff is bomb proof. One thing I do notice though is that moisture can get in between the plys and freeze in the winter and bust some screws which then your left with a broken screw shaft in the hole so you have to kinda angle the new screw a bit to get it to take....just rambling here |

we use stainless steel screws that have twice the diameter on the thread than the usual 'deck-mate' type screw.
they fucking rock and hold surface down like a mofo.
no rust. no broken screws. just smooth as a baby's ass riding surface. |

This is just the outdoor area. There are some ramps inside right next to this as well! |

Took the weekend off and went tubing down the Cannon River with my gal. I definitely got sunburned but had fun doing it...
Here's the progress mid-way through Day 6.
