Skatelite Pro ® Surface
Our distinctive surface material has superior performance and safety characteristics. It provides more consistent wheel grip and lower surface temperature than steel, and better impact attenuation and a less abrasive surface than concrete. Enhanced durability comes courtesy of double-thick (1/2") Skatelite Pro on all flat surfaces.

Protective Steel Coating
Though HD's structural integrity makes it durable, proper corrosion protection is imperative. In the daily grind of bikes and boards, only the bonding strength and surface thickness of a hot-dipped galvanized coating will withstand the abuse. Decorative powder coatings in a skatepark are pointless, easily being ground off of the surface while also allowing corrosion from the inside.

Perforated Aluminum Substrate
On radiused transition pieces, a ¼" thick sheet of perforated aluminum is utilized to support the Skatelite Pro surface. When compared to the plastic substrates used by others, the aluminum is much stronger, doesn't trap moisture and will never break down under UV radiation.

Bolt Through Surface
The industry's thickest surface is held in place by the heaviest gauge fasteners. The stainless steel Torx ® T-40 bolt-through system ensures that surface panels and the fasteners that secure them remain firmly in place. This makes them tamper-proof and virtually eliminates protruding or missing fasteners as a maintenance concern.

Stainless Steel Hardware
Inadequate fasteners can be the Achilles heel of a skatepark structure. We use heavy duty, 3/8" stainless steel bolts to keep components in place and corrosion at bay.

Threshold Plates
Skateboard wheels are really small, so cracks and bumps seem really big. Edge thickness of thresholds and the angle at which they meet the ground are critical. To smooth the ride and reduce noise, HD thresholds have minimal pitch and a 1/8" leading edge.

Attention To Detail
Since lips and edges are the enemy of a skater, HD is designed to be smooth and exact. Beveled edges, equipment levelers, and adjustable ledgers all aid in precise assemblies. The details matter and HD was designed with the details in mind.

Perimeter Barriers
One of the most important safety features are guardrails. HD complies with existing CPSC entrapment criteria and pending ASTM skatepark standards. HD guardrails are also extremely stout because you need to expect the unexpected in a skatepark.
