Also had to put in a skid plate because my enclosure scrapes on hard turns still

Size isn’t 100% perfect yet but it hits first so that’s fine

rafaelinmissouri · April 21, 2025, 4:17pm

Can I see the whole set up?

Pecos · April 21, 2025, 4:21pm

Yeah, I’ll snap some pics when I get home today. The issue I think is because I have to use such a tall riser to accommodate the Lonestar super sport enclosure. It creates so much leverage on the pivot point that getting it tuned to feel nice is a little awkward

(Temporary) Front riser with single -5 degree

Rear with two -5 degree wedges.

Gets it feeling good as far as geometry but the rear centers too hard on the wine d for my taste and i have to turn and carve from the rear. Gonna swap back to b/c and try these angles again. See how it feels. My gut tells me c/c is my sweet spot but i want to go down in duro or get a wfb for less bounce

That is in fact a lot of risers…

I am having the time of my life riding these Singularitys on my LaCroix deck!!!

But I have a top mount box…

Pecos · April 22, 2025, 1:22am

Tried c/d on the 25/15 and switched back to b/c with the new lower angles and it’s the sweet spot! Was just gonna do a quick loop but the suns out and it clicked just right. Spent a couple hours getting the feel. I think id like to try a b/b and a c/c setup but this is good.

Need to come up with a solution and rework the risers. Optimization after proof of concept gonna think on it a minute

rafaelinmissouri · April 22, 2025, 1:39am

I have not tried the same shapes on rear and front…

With tires I settled on B/C
With the MAD 101s I went A/C

Either way it’s so much fun for me.
The super lean is awesome.

They feel very predictable too. I run very loose trucks and these were eating up potholes and trash roads in the 25-35mph while still pulling u turns on two lane roads and carving low speed and middle speeds like a champ

You still have the spacer in stock?

Ac53n · May 5, 2025, 6:03pm

Looks like i dont currently unfortunately. If theres enough interest i can run another batch.

Can anyone confirm if the Matrix III truck works with Trampa Conical motor clamps? The Trampa hanger measures 20x20mm and the Matrix III hanger is 22.4x22.4mm. Curious if anyone has looked into swapping to them and if they ran into any issues. Cheers.

do we have any riser for the CNC version to be printed?..i can see @glyphiks one, but the CNC version is a bit wider.

Jagden · July 12, 2025, 3:57pm

Anyone got the 3d model of the Matrix III truck ? mainly I need it for the base plate to create a proper riser.
Thanks.

like these? https://www.printables.com/model/997875-mbs-matrix-3-5deg-wedge-plus-captive-angled-nut-ho

It’s a rainy cold fall day and I’m sitting by the fire with a Bourbon and got to wondering.

What do you think may be the bigger, or least obscure community?

Esk8 or Mountain Boarding?

What are the hot spots for Mountain Boarding?

Are there any other companies to check out besides you guys, Trampa and Haero?

Can you help us get a better glimpse of the Gravity boarders?

MBS · October 26, 2025, 10:01pm

Haha. Great fire-side ponder. I’d guess with respect to current riders, traditional mountainboarding would be smaller. But it would vary from one region to the other. The UK would be our hot-spot at the moment with Emlyn and Amon at the center of that. But Colorado is heating back up now which is awesome because Mountainboarding in the US was has been pretty subdued for the past several years, and CO is our home ground.

Check out https://www.instagram.com/dirtheadsmountainboarding/ if you’re not already familiar. They’re gearing up to push some events in 2026.

MBS, Trampa, and Haero would be the main 3 companies, but I love the innovation coming from small companies/projects. My personal favourites ATM - https://www.instagram.com/mapletonmountainboards/

Since we are at it so you want to share some of your favorite Mountain Board videos.

The recent MBS one with the dudes dropping off the side of that mountain is really gnarly!!!

No brakes… no powder….

MBS · October 26, 2025, 11:06pm

Yeah, that little alaska footage is crazy. If you haven’t watched the original Down & Dirty videos you should do that. Mountainboarding in the early 2000s was gnarly!
