The Elemental Edge: Why Element Skate Boards Standout
It's hard to imagine, but Bernard Hopkins, the future hall of famer boxer who defended his middleweight title an
incredible 20 times before losing it, was a disturbed youth and spent some time in prison.
It's really an inspiring journey considering that most juvenile delinquents do not even get past their teenage
years before suffering gruesome deaths. Yet there are some determined people like Bernard Hopkins who were able to
cast off their troubled past and become successful.
Johnny Schilereff is one example of that. Schilereff was a troubled youth. Fortunately, he was able to overcome
his dark impulses and dedicate his drive for hard work, creativity, and skateboarding to establish Element Skate
boards.
Acclaimed for their highly artistic deck designs, Element Skate boards is one of the leading skateboard
companies in the world today. Recently, Element Skate boards also diversified their operations to include other
products, like skateboard accessories, shirt, shoes, etc. But what make the company really stand out are their
avant-garde skateboards.
What Makes Element Skate Boards Stand Out!
The public always embrace companies that are willing to innovate and push the boundaries of creativity in their
field. This is Apple is the most-beloved computer manufacturer.
We can say that Element Skateboards is like the Apple of the skateboarding world.
Element Skate boards have spent time and resources on experimenting with non-traditional materials in their boards
to develop state-of-the-art technologies like Fiberlight and Helium. The experiments paid off and lead to the
production of lighter and easier to manipulate boards, essential elements that boarders need to execute difficult
tricks with more ease.
But what make Element Skate boards really stand out from the rest of skateboard makers is that they do not only
manufacture high-quality boards--they also craft work of arts.
When you think about skateboarding, don't just think of it as a simple athletic past time. Skateboarding is not
just a sport: it's also a sub-culture with its own trends. Skateboarders are generally fashion-conscious. During
the infancy of skateboarding in the 80s, early skateboarders know for their cool sneakers, baggy and flexible
pants, and loose fitting shirt, are recognized as "fashion rebels."
Now that skateboarding culture is clearly established, style is still essential for many boarders. An awesome
board these days is considered quintessential to skater fashion.
Superior board craftsmanship, cutting edge materials, and stylish decks—these are the key attributes of
Element's boards that hordes of boarders seek. And among these, the artistic graphics on their decks is their
elemental edge over the rest of skateboard makers.
“Less is more.” This is an aesthetic maxim that really works wonders. Some manufacturers try hard to make their
board stylish. In doing so, their over-flashy designs seem irritating to the eye and full of pretension. Sometimes,
simplicity in design is more artistic and stylish.
What make Element Skate boards board graphic artistic and unique is its generally simple yet refreshing motifs
that come with well balanced colours. This somewhat minimalist design principle has attracted top boarders like Bam
Margera and Chad Tim Tim to join the Element team. It’s also among the top reasons why Element Skateboards have
such a large following among avid skateboarders.
So, before you skate the park again, think of how you can stand out from other boarders. Think about STYLE. Think
how you really can stand out in style with an Element skate board.
