Ok. Here is part 3. Let’s see if I can wrap it up.
Spring and summer season of 2019.
Let’s call it the “Age of Tron”
Because I look like this guy any time I get on a board now.
This was my first ride after breaking my shoulder. I had to do it because they put fresh pavement on a sweet Hill in my neighborhood.
Ok. So I had built the Ralleycat and it was the perfect kicktail.
So I tore up the Muirderer and got a Bustin Sportster for that drive train.!
The Sportster was influenced by the Dualomo ads. The Kamijuins video.
The bigger issue with the Sportster looking back was my train of though. I like my one set up so much with the drop through Lovechild that I ended up wanting to make another board almost like it… Almost the same deck same trucks same wheels…
I should have checked into rehab at this point.
Around the same time I revived the Diyeboards kit and put it on the Rayne Cartoon.
I got the gearing right so I could actually get 10 good miles and acceleration and speed where pretty good. Breaking was freaking horrible and scary though…
This is another sign I should have gone to rehab. I did not need another board. I knew the Diyeboards kit sucked.
BUT I COULD NOT STAND HAVING EXTA PARTS LAYING AROUND.
So speaking of extra parts.
The battery upgrade I had gotten for the evolve from Damon had some issue with the BMS. So I had bought a GTX battery.
I sent the pack to Dave and he put a new BMS on there.
So I was going to juice up the Evolve. Keep the deck and trucks and wheels. But move the drivetrain to another deck.
The Evolved which was my genius name for it was kind of badass.
But I also realized that much torque and acceleration was not jiving with the dual kingpin trucks…
Here are a few of the boards out. The carbon gt was a college kids and the Metroboard was my neighbors.
So back to the Evolve drive train. I was going to put it on the Rayne Cartoon but then I realized that Gtx battery can handle a flexy board. So I got a DB Coreflex.
This is a really fun board for cruising in the low 20s and carving.
No ground clearance. No problemo.
Ok. So what now…
Oh yeah.
The Rayne Cartoon. I love that deck and it was kind of fun with the Diyeboards kit. But had murderous breaks.
So let’s buy a bunch of parts to make it better. Actual Paris trucks. Flipsky dual 4.20. Flipsky 6354s. And blue Caguamas for the win.
This set up was pretty fun even with the crappy Diyeboards battery.
The next couple moves are kind of fuzzy.
I just Wanted to make things a bit neater.
Rearrange the pack on the Sportster and get a slimmer enclosure. And get a new enclosure for the Lovechild.
Somehow talking with Dave I end up with a really sweet enclosure skinned in carbonfiber by Sender.
But guess what. I won’t fit the Lovechild.
So new deck buying is triggered.
I Got the DB Paradigm.
Around this time I also decided to try pneumatics so I got six shooters.
So trying to clean up my beloved Lovechild set up turned into killing it and having something totally different.
The Paradigm and the new enclosure on the Sportster is the first time I actually get the enclosures on straight and looking good. So I was proud of my diy game…
I really love the Paradigm. Longest board I have ever had. So super comfortable.
I had some weirdness going on accepting the pneumatics.
The Rolling resistance and the shorter range fucked with me.
I ended up getting some Bergmeisters tires and put the on the six-shooter hubs.
At first I liked them better.
.
So with the Bergmeisters I got more in the groove of enjoying pneumatics. The carving is great. And the playground got bigger because I could suddenly go onto crappy roads and crappy sidewalks I could not hit before even with the 107s.
I never did any “off roading” I went on grass for a minute but it weirded me out.
As I type this I wish I could somehow excuse the expense for an actual mountain board…
Bummer about the Bergmeisters is that I chewed through them in 100 miles.
Timo who is awesome actually sent me a set of free tires but I chewed through them super fast again…
So I went back to the six-shooter and run them at 50psi and love them.
So somewhere around here I got the extra parts laying around itch. I dug up the Spud deck from the Metroboard Micro slim that was in the basement to set up a little single drive just for fun.
This was supposed to just use old parts.
This did not end up being just old parts…more on that later.
So here is an update on the collection.
Would you look at that! Freaking awesome.
All sorts of flavors.
I SHOULD STOP BUILDING AND JUST ENJOY RIDING… YEAH RIGHT!
Funny how the mind of an addict works…
I got a kick out of riding the Spud.
But I did think it would be nice if it had a little tail…
Well. That is called the Tayto.
So let’s buy some new parts kids…
Let’s see what is next…
Oh yeah. Let’s kill the Evolved.
The 10s4p and dual 6354s was a bit much for the dual kingpins did not feel right.
What happens if you just make them into a single kingpin truck?
That works pretty well actually.
Bring back the Lovechild.
So next up to scratch the itch I wanted to jazz up the Spud.
So the Spud which was supposed to be all old parts ended up getting a Flipsky a new 6374 and the Fsesc 6.6 plus. And a sweet 3d printed enclosure I’m super proud of.
Orange paint job looks good on pictures but is actually a huge fuck up…

What eBay drop thru deck is that? I like it
Part 4. Jumping right in.
So what more…
O yeah. Evolve announces the Bantam.
I sit there and chuckle and call it the Stilts because you know how freaking high is it going to be having dual kingpin trucks top mounted and with risers.
Well really high…
I slap the evolve drive train on the Muirderer.
This is actually surprisingly fun to ride.
It would be even better if it was a bit shorter and lighter. I call it the Revolved BamStoke…
Ok so the next purchases are kind of fuzzy to me as to what all was going on. But something funny happened because of the DB Paradigm.
I’m 6ft. And I realized I love that extra long standing platform.
So suddenly the Sportster and the Lovechild felt cramped… I started looking for a longer board.
Queue in the Rayne Demonseed 42.
Freaking beast of a board.
It was going to get the parts from the Evolve/Lovechild.
I ended up buying a new 10s5p dual Flipsky 6.6 plus and Flipsky 6384s.
I freaking love this board. Super smooth control. Super comfortable riding platform.
Somewhere here in the mix I got the Loaded Omakase which is looking like it will be freaking awesome.
It is going to be a dance of the short boards. The spud I’m mad at th paint so it is getting put away. The single drive is going on the Tayto. The dual that is on the Tayto is going on the Omakase. Dave I need that new 10s4p please. Pretty please. Before winter is here…
So for those paying attention you noticed the DB Coreflex got robbed of it’s drive.
But I said I loved it right.
Well I do.
So it got parts from the battery from the Tayto and the motors from the revolved and with the smooth control of the Flipsky dual 4.20 pumping through carves is better than ever.
Really digging it now. So much better than the Evolve drive…
Still more to go. Hang in there. we are almost at the end.
So I ordered the TB tires.
Was going to to keep them on the Sportster.
But it now feels cramped.
So I shit you not I ordered another Demonseed.
The TB tires ended up on the DB Paradigm.
The six-shooter are going on the new Demonseed as soon as my Hexls get here.
The Sportster is going analog.
So you are wondering. What boards do you even ride.
Yesterday I rode the Rayne Cartoon.
Which has been recently revived to it’s best new set up with a 10s4p( the one from the Evolved).
I also love this ride. This deck and Paris trucks and blue Caguamas. It is awesome.
Here is the other board I rode yesterday and just got done building a couple days ago. This one is just going to be for towing the kids. It has the crappy Diyeboards 10s5p. Dual Maytech 6374s with one bad sensor… And a Unity that was doing weird shit so I’m scared to really use. It actually managed to move with me at 230 lbs and the kids plus wagon at 90 lbs.
Thanks for turning in.
Go ride now!

Yeah it is a really nice deck good concave. It is Boz Boards brand. Love child. I think it is a defunct Canadian company. Here is the eBay seller that had them. I looked through and did not see it. You may want to double check. https://www.ebay.com/b/Longboard-Decks/165944/bn_1984943
The Bustin Sportster is really close. As a possible alternative
Love this thread.

I love the trailer hitch baseplate. I did exactly the same thing a while back for towing a deck with a milk crate bolted to it for beer runs. Then my pal lost his license and borrowed the whole set up to get to work and I haven’t seen it since.

We’re gonna have an intervention. It’ll be @rafaelinREHAB soon.
I am a little envious of the sheer number of functioning boards though. I’m pretty sure that for each running board I have, there are two or three in various stages of building, planning, swapping, or just general non-functioning.
@rafaelinmissouri What kind of charging rail setup is that? I think I’ve seen a few people on here with something like that, but I really like how clean and organized you keep your collection.

Oh, it’s definitely gonna happen…as soon as I finish the rest of my builds. This man obviously has a raging addiction despite being highly functional.

Sorry about that enclosure not being as clean as I like. I was using a new web-locked CF at the time. Great for decks, terrible for the complex contours of an enclosure. Ugh.

Damn dude… waaay to dive in head first.
That’s alot of building.
Next you gotta build a street Carver and a emtb

Man I can’t seem to locate it 
was it cheaper than the bustin Sportster?
Yeah I think they are gone. It was a steal at 40 bucks
