fuck the minioins

it’s easy-peasey even you and i a white-man and a man on a mud island can make it work…

if they…chose not to make this work I surely will

Oh cool shit so is that a version of a cvt? Still haven’t had the time to look it up.

even smart people can get it wrong…

edison fuked up the light-bulb 100s of times till (somebody else) told him how to make it work

need to investigate

It is really loud. I was right next to it as he pushed down the throttle.

Going back to mtb truck redesigns and stability:

What effect do you think an ultra wide baseplate and wedge bushings/springs would do?

Bad phone drawing time…

The suspension would need to be much softer to get any turning since the wheels won’t track as much. Would a steering rack be necessary for individual wheel suspension to actually work?

I see the individual wheel suspension in cars being wider and over the individual wheels but obviously the car doesn’t lean as much as a deck does either.

I would think that the width of the base plate shouldn’t make any difference to the feel or performance as no actual geometry changes. Obviously wider wedge bushings will add stiffness so would need to be softer to compensate.

What do you mean by this?

Are you asking if it’s possible for independent suspension on a channel truck style design? If so then I think it would be but it might require some clever thinking.

Since at full lean on a standard board, you could theoretically hit your deck to the hanger. If you had deck wide wedges, they wouldn’t be able to compress fully.

I recall seeing a photo you (I think) posted of the trampa channel trucks next to matrix 2 and the width of springs and urethane shock blocks was similar.

I had an idea to do a body on frame esk8 with the frame made out of these Aluminum rails.

The body panels and internals would be 3D printed and bolted onto the frame. Who’s down to brainstorm?

Huh they called their board voltage that’s not very creative.

Watches vid- “VolTEge”

it is called VOLTIGE not voltAge, which is a french term. Which means aerobatic.

BTW this is how you have to pronounce it!!! But you would know if you had at least did a ounce of research on it, instead of going straight to laugh at them.

This may be better

It was my gut reaction assuming it was another random esk8 startup.

I honestly don’t think it’s a bad name, it only comes off a little cheeky. In the understanding I had before.

Foreign language makes it ok though I guess

French is my first language and I don’t think target customers should have to do any research about the name of a product that some company is trying to sell them.
I guess European names give that perceived value to products but when the market doesn’t know that language jokes are to be expected.

I’d love to see wider Baseplates. Would take so much stress off the deck for drop through if the bolts were 10mm further away from the kingpin assembly.

What you want is the 4-slot double x-rail extrusion from McMaster in 80mm x 40mm

The slots will accept standard longboard baseplate patterns so you can adjust however you like without mods to the deck or trucks, and it’ll be nearly indestructible

reminds me of chevrolet’s venture of selling the nova in spanish speaking countries…
