Righto cocks, unless you’ve been living under a rock the last few days, you might have noticed that i’ve been blessed with #09 of the Genesis batch of Radium Mach 1 boards huge thanks to @Tony_Stark and the Radium team for bringing this beauty to life!
I added EVA foam in layers to achieve some extra shape to rest my feet into. I also filled in the drop a little so that my feet can more easily roll up the drops rather than dig into them.
Combined with the suspension, they give you the road feel of thane, but just slightly muted so you don’t get the teeth chattering feeling at every little bump. So you can still feel everything, just not in your bones
The width, square lips and duro of the wheels makes them feel like the board is on tracks on the road. It feels like they kind of just pull themselves straight, they feel super planted and stable.
They are slightly on the heavy side, and thirsty for juice, but the ride feel is worth it! They’re super confidence inspiring.
Foam took 10mins, 3dp design and print would be more like 10hrs… it’s definitely within my scope ability wise, but I’m not sure I have the motivation when the foam performs pretty damn well from a practical perspective…
As I said in another chat, this may come as a surprise, but I couldn’t give a fuck what it looks like as long as it works
We’ll see. If i get bored down the track, i’ll definitely look at prettying it up.
huge thanks to @Tony_Stark and the Radium team for bringing this beauty to life!
