First on the list is feedback on some deck shapes I’ve been playing with recently. Tonight’s battle is between G3 and E4.

Can you make the wings a little more pronounced? Maybe a little more off the wheel wells to account for motor mounts?

Nice one @Venom121212. Here is the same thing with just the outlines.
They’re VERY similar with respect to function: waist width, width under foot. Even clearance is very similar at the point a pulley or a gear drive would actually hit it. So it’s mainly just a question of aesthetics.
Interesting to see it so evenly split so far… Curious to see if it diverges.
I guess another question would be does anyone strongly dislike either shape?

What if the E4 ends were on the G3?

I think a truly game changing idea would be a creative implementation of a customizable stance on your decks. A lot of e-folks ride a more positive positive or positive neutral stance because we tend to not ride switch that often.
A replacement plate that fits your existing template and goes between bindings and deck that allows ~45-90° rotation would be awesome. I’m imagining freeboard plates but without the ability to slip, so bolt holes instead of slots.

I like it. We’ve definitely played in that space before. Here’s one effort from a while back, circa 2005 maybe? The decks had standard snowboard 4 hole patterns. Maybe its worth re-examining that space. Thanks for the input.

Counterpoint:
Getting customized binding placement for your board is also achievable with a drill bit, and a few extra holes. Which is something virtually anyone can do.
That’s not really an option that’s available to snowboards.
Once I get my bindings set the way I want them, I like them to stay the way I want them. And in that sense, adjustability can suddenly become a detriment. Its like when somebody drives your car and messes with your seat and mirrors.
One place I do see this as treading new ground might be, say, when I’m not the one riding my board.
Maybe the place for this is on a rental fleet, or a demo fleet.
The whole theme of this thread is getting feedback, and there’s been plenty of times I’ve gone to get feedback on a setup I’m working on, but there’s a hangup with my bindings working well someone else, and feedback doesn’t really move past that point.
