That was in the riptide brackets thread, wasn’t it?
I posted something similar but someone mentioned it would lead to a variable truck angle (the more weight, the more angle) and could be problematic
[EDIT] ah too late

and that person failed to realize on a flexible board the truck angle will always be variable

Indeed

what my ill timed sketch was an effort at limiting and damping the variable truck/angle limits

yeah good concept…
but in a small package It’s much easier to engineer compression and rebound in 'thane than a steel spring and a shock absorber

Second version.
This one has more “aggressive” drop, meaning it shorter and with smaller bend radius than the previous one
Did a small weight reduction where it connects to the deck
And there’s a need to revise this a bit, the bend is very close to the cutout, then this happens
There will be a notch there to eliminate this (learning the neuances of sheet metal bending)
Will try to test these tomorrow,
Dani

I like the aggressive drop a lot
Let’s hope this one will hold
