Pressure cracks are usually formed on the board when the bolts are tighten too tightly. It leaves very less room for the board to suck in the impact while doing tricks. Even humidity plays a role in creating pressure cracks. As wood expands/contracts based on humidity level, if you tighten the nuts too tight it'll create a crack if there is pressure being built up. The pressure cracks are usually formed near the bolts.
To avoid pressure cracks first thing is do not over tighten the nuts and bolts which mounts the truck on the deck. Give some breathing space for the hardware to suck in the impact while doing tricks. Another very effective solution is to use riser pads(Rubber ones). Riser pads acts as suspension for the skateboard and helps in absorbing most of the impact. If you take care of the above things you'll avoid developing pressure cracks to a large extent for sure. Do not keep your board in damp/wet areas or where there is more humidity.

We had the privilege to interact with Sktr. Sameer Ansari from Formigas skate Academy. This is what he had to share with us on how to start skateboarding classes in India: For anyone looking to start coaching skating or skateboarding, here’s my advice: 1. Learn Patience - Patience is crucial. Master the art of staying calm and composed. 2. Control Your Emotions - Maintain emotional balance and stay professional at all times.
Hi Folks! We are very proud to announce our new budget friendly top quality skateboard series - The Natural Maple complete series. So as you all know we used to sell only hard rock Canadian Maple skateboards before, but now we also sell our newly launched series of skateboards in which the deck construction is of Naturally sourced maple tree locally (Not sourced from Canada). Rest all set up remains exact same in both the completes i.e the wheels, bearings, griptape, trucks and the hardware are all same in both the skateboards. Now lets deep dive into the deck construction which is the only difference between the Natural vs Canadian Maple completes.
