Opera Skateboard Risers 3-Ply Riser Pads Wood Veneer 1/8"
by
Opera
SKU: OPR401
Description
Opera 3-Ply Wood Veneer Risers 1/8" are 3-ply hardwood veneer risers. Instead of soaking up energy like soft risers, they transfer it, so your pop feels snappier and your trucks respond more directly.
A 1/8" riser adds a small bump in ride height without changing how your board feels much. Because wood doesn't compress, your ride height stays exactly where you set it.
Who Opera 3-Ply Wood Veneer Risers 1/8" Are For
- Skaters who want snappier pop
- Anyone who wants direct, locked-in turning
- Skaters tired of risers that compress over time
- Opera fans
Features
- 1/8" height
- 3-ply wood veneer
- Rigid hardwood construction
Benefits
- Snappier pop
- More direct truck response
- Ride height that stays put session after session
Why Wood Risers Feel Different
A hardwood riser is essentially rigid at the forces skateboarding puts on it. Instead of soaking up energy, it transfers it. Pop feels snappier, trucks respond more directly, and turning feels locked in instead of springy. Because wood doesn't compress or take a set the way rubber does, your ride height and truck geometry stay exactly where you set them up, session after session.
Like any riser, wood risers also raise your ride height to help prevent wheelbite.

FAQ
How many come in a pack?
Two, one for each truck.
How are wood risers different from plastic ones?
Wood is essentially rigid at skateboarding forces, so it transfers energy instead of absorbing it. That means snappier pop and more direct turning, and the risers don't compress or take a set over time.
What size hardware do I need?
Risers up to 1/8" work with standard 1" hardware. If you stack more than one set, size up your hardware. See our sizing guide for decks, trucks, wheels, hardware, and risers.
