It’s gonna look like you’re going backwards

It’s been a real hot minute and a lot of racing has gone down with some real ups and downs. From crashing in all my Esk8Con heats and ERL Phoenix this weekend.
I had some ideas for improvements I could make but sadly after this weekend the board likely has to be retired. The deck started delaminating on me, don’t really know what triggered it. I’ve certainly crashed a few times and particularly yesterday when racing. But after lunch is when I noticed the deck was flexing way too much.
This happened to me just before my heat and so I couldn’t place well to make the finals. We grabbed some gorilla foam glue, a few clamps, and some bolts and washers for a temporary fix. And it thankfully held together well enough to get me to my first pro finals.
So, at the very least I got the SemenDeed to a podium.

We talked about portion control my dude…
So, as I mentioned SemenDeed will be retiring and this is a sneak peek into the future.
Using the Magnetic platform thanks to @Skyart and thanks to @poastoast for getting the transplant started. I’ll try to taker across the finish line.
I’ll probably start a new build thread at some point, but things are looking good I feel at home on the board already. But of course T Race will be the true measure.
Mama packed her boi a raceables lol (credit @BillGordon).
