I don’t use bullet connections, or xt-60 y blocks to save space. 15 percent of your useable space is connectors .

Well it is officially a skateboard. It rolls around on the floor and all. I don’t like the ground clearance so I have ordered another set of Riptide tunnel risers. Add some Loctite, the risers, and balance the wheels. I will be riding this weekend.

Nice. There’s a nice bike/trail pathway by riverpark. I ride there almost everyday.

Just saw this thread love the mounts hahaha I had board like this guy for awhile, really comfy. Enjoy it bro!

bourbon_norm · April 29, 2020, 5:21pm

You have a link to a map? I mostly ride the streets around here.

pookybear · April 29, 2020, 5:31pm

Here is one of my logs.

more ventura!

I love your build.
Can’t help but think how awesome those mounts would look as a fwd setup!

bourbon_norm · April 29, 2020, 5:54pm

58 kph? You’ll know me. I’ll be the one going a lot slower than that. It is about a 4 mile ride from my house over near St. John’s to the Collection. It is one of my favorite rides. Not only because there are plenty of places there to have a cocktail. Get this - I ride in traffic all over Oxnard but I am chicken of heights and won’t ride over the freeway overpasses so I go all the way around to where I can take Ventura Rd under the freeway to get there.

pookybear · April 29, 2020, 5:58pm

Nah. I only ride like that usually w mike (thumbnail) when we do runs or I’m by myself.

We should do group rides soon.

pookybear · April 29, 2020, 6:05pm

Ventura esk8 crew are:

The last two haven’t joined here yet

Agressivstreetlamp · April 29, 2020, 6:07pm

we need a group text message or something

pookybear · April 29, 2020, 6:07pm

You have a thread for this, robin

Agressivstreetlamp · April 29, 2020, 6:08pm

9one here? but nobody joins me there
plus @Clone200 is never on here so it makes more sense to do a text message with the entire crew

Thanks to a last minute save by @taz, with a fix for my leaking inner tubes, I rode my build for the first time today. It took a year but it feels beautiful. Carvy like I hoped. Takes off smooth as butter. I only went a couple miles and didn’t go past 20 mph. I want to check all the bolts again before I let it rip. Thanks again to everyone that helped with advice and parts. Time to end this forever thread.

Hmm. Now what?

DKAY · May 3, 2020, 2:48pm

Ooh where did you snag those circle clamp things holding the phase wires to the bottom of the truck in picture two? Nice Build!

bourbon_norm · May 3, 2020, 3:23pm

Lowes. They had in stock a lot of what I needed for finishing touches. Rubber washers, those clamps, etc. Home Depot didn’t have either. Plus Lowes is just a couple mile skate from home.

magharees · May 3, 2020, 4:01pm

Looking good, the mounts that Matt made are kewl, could you put one of these in the sharks for me?

hans_maier · August 22, 2020, 7:45pm

Got a pic how you routed the motor cables into the enclosure, please?

bourbon_norm · August 22, 2020, 9:51pm

I skipped the fancy grommets. I drilled holes through the enclosure and then filed them open to U-shaped slots.
