Cheers Jan!
Taken too long to get to this. I decided against adding any concave or anything, still gotta make an enclosure for it tho. Need to see if any of my molds fit it reasonably well

Oh cool I didn’t even know the blue one was a shiny Pokemon. I’ll have to trick it out even more now. It’s probably too long for me though so it may end up with some tall dude xD

@MoeStooge: What’s your take on concave with regard to race boards? I believe your rolling chassis is completely flat as well. Does the MBS binding provide enough support and renders the concave unnecessary? Do you see any advantage in not having the concave?
BTW, I did notice that one on IG as well and I’m keeping an eye on the build. It seems it’s going to be a good one.

@janpom could you share a technical drawing of top view of the deck? I am about to start designing a print for Granda Plata and that would make my work easier…
If you have a 3d model that would be amazing.

With wood deck the concave or Dub Tub makes for torsional rigidity. A really good trait. The way it feels or locks a rider in is really personal preference. The half binding allows you to pull leverage over the deck allowing more input to control vs lateral G pushback. The rear foot placement for me is where the magic happens on an E-Board. Where I plant the rear for acceleration and toe, heel side turns is important. In a turn the front foot makes the direction and the rear is where the fine tuning of the turn happens. Having the rear step and rail in a place that feels and works for the rider is different for every rider. At the hill you will find no two pro level DH riders deck surfaces the same. I imagine if we were not locked in on the front foot there definitely would be more personalization.
Alex Moavani has a really interesting design on both his front and rear .
DH has developed grip tape implants to customize and lock in that feel you are looking for. Ultimately it’s to each his own. If it’s uncomfortable work on it and make it work for you.

This how you do a proper Granda Plata build:
Well done @glyphiks.
If I may make a suggestion I think it would look even better with bigger wheels.

Thanks Jan! It’s coming along nicely I think. Been working on some trimmings in CAD all evening for the cable routing.
I’m not sure I can agree with you on bigger wheels though! The ride height already seems huge for me, I have ruined myself by becoming accustomed to my Frankendick lowrider on 76mm urethane 
I would love to drop the ride height a bit by swapping the adjustable baseplates to the BN split angle plates, but I can’t afford to put any more into this one right now unfortunately 
Getting super keen tho, I think this is gonna be a very fun build. Should be on the road within a week I reckon!

Yes, I saw it but I forgot, sorry. Here’s the deck shape. It should have correct dimensions. The tip-to-tip length is 43".

mines drop through, maybe make some cutouts? 
Nope. Already skinned. That ship has sailed.
