I ride stainless steel A2 bolts…
I know…this build would be at least partly at home in the “shitty DIY and nothing else” thread. This is what happened when I tried to run 110mm thane on a deck with a 2" drop because I didn’t know any better.

Well that’s why I am here. Trying to learn better/safer ways of doing things. I appreciate the suggestions and will order a pair of solid risers.
EDIT: Thanks for the PSA on soft risers @DerelictRobot!

You could keep at least one rubber one though for vibrations, otherwise it might suck haha

I’m not using soft material, I use m5 hardware which is larger than 10/32 hardware and is much tighter fitting. No slop. I don’t use counter sinkinking screws. Even though they have been used for almost a hundred years successfully in all skateboards. Long before all of these fucking know it all blow hards started e skating. Seriously. If anyone is looking for good advice or knowledge regarding builds look elsewhere. The team of experts in this thread now are ninja skilled retards.

What material are you printing those top-plate spacers with then?
Huh.
Let’s talk about your use of printed top-spacers in a ‘production’ board a bit more before you go calling anyone else retarded, yeah?
Dave, do you even skate anymore? C’mon bud.

Oh wow. Well now I guess I owe you all an apology.
Sorry- That was deeply unprofessional. Clearly ‘an intern’ got a hold of the official account keys and decided to put some artwork into the world. They will be reprimanded, permanent record, etc.
Officially: DRI does not condone any fires caused by vendor negligence. Just so we’re clear.

not exactly the nazare guy seemed to be using some kind of neoprene foam. on hypertrucks. seemed severly softer.
I have 3k miles on metal matrix IIs with their stock riser. and of course now I’m thinking about what the diffs are.
crazy that he could sheer all 8 bolts in one catastrophic failure too. I guess they had titanium bolts too which are stronger per weight. but weaker than alloy steel.

Nah there was a few LaCroix owners who thought it was a good idea to use foam as a riser so they could have softer ride…
Normal risers are fine

Yeah this boils down to a rigidity thing entirely.
Really? Picture he posted I swear it looked like the exact riser. @taz also brought up a good point of trucks walking under heavy load. Regardless, soft/squish = baaad. I thought people knew this.
