I’ve been at this for 3 or 4 years now and it’s taken quite a few different prototypes to get it right. It’s a bamboo fibreglass deck that flexes a lot but primarily near the trucks where the deck narrows down. This creates a dynamic kingpin angle and makes the board behave in a very unique way.
This vid is just a teaser on the bench but I’ll try and get a vid up showing the flex over the next few days.
I’ve been making these for years but they were far too flexible once I added the heavy esk8 bits to them so I had to stiffen the design a bit for electric.
I use a lot of different timber veneers on my boards as bamboo looks quite boring. Bamboo is there for the beautiful unbreakable flex.
Here’s some of the veneers I use on the snowboards
Hey man. I’ve been selling the regular non electric version for years now, the electric version is a beefed up version as the original would bottom out after adding the extra weight of the battery. But if you see the clip I just posted the electric version can take my 100kg dad bod bouncing on it without bottoming out.
You need an extremely flexible battery but that’s not too difficult to fabricate. I used this enclosure
If anyone is interested I can definitely make a few up for sale.
They certainly do have metal edges
If you’re interested in a snowboard the best way to see it all and place an order is via the Instagram page Ben posted above, if you don’t have insta just send me a message on here
How much would you charge for the both of them? My printer just had the blob of death while I was in the middle of making an enclosure so I’m pretty much sol at the moment an wayyy way wayyy over my budget . I need and and active miracle…
