my favourite deck! what do you call it? I can’t believe I missed this entire thread.

Thank you, it doesn’t have a name yet. We’ll have to see how it rides first.

DavidF · May 18, 2020, 2:27pm

Last one is fantastic!
(When) are you planing to sell them ?

tomiboi · May 18, 2020, 6:33pm

Thank you I’m hoping late June or early July.

Are you going to do a preorder?? I’m loving your work. And say I did order one in late June how long will it take to get made and sent out thanks

Thank you. When we get through the test round things will move pretty quickly. I’ll already have enough supplies to make a pile of decks, so I won’t have to wait to get started. I’m not certain if I’ll do a pre-order on a small batch, or if I’ll just start making them to-order and see what happens. I’d expect it to take about two weeks to ship depending on what level of finish you want.

Short board really is stunning

I have v1 vs skyart who has v2 they are both awesome

tomiboi · May 27, 2020, 12:40am

The top-mount V2 is done. I got fancy with the grip. The pics make it look like the board is flat, but it actually has nice concavity to it. I’m working on the a pin-tail and the AT/carver deck right now. They should be wrapped up early next week. We’ve accomplished a lot in the test group in terms of improving ease-of-build and the feel of the decks. Some ride testing is going on right now to see if there are any major flaws in the designs. Durability testing will be ongoing. If all goes well, I’ll be taking orders and building a few of the decks at the end of June.

Wow she’s gorgeous

tomiboi · May 27, 2020, 12:46am

Thanks man I’m starting to get jealous of my testers. I don’t even have my own deck yet.

Nacho · May 27, 2020, 12:48am

The way they look you might be Busy for a while building them can’t wait to order one

ShutterShock · May 27, 2020, 12:59am

This looks awesome!

BenjaminF · May 27, 2020, 3:58am

Let me know when i can throw money at you please

I just wrapped up AT/Carver V2 and I’m really excited to see how this one tests out. I’m surprised by how much flex I’ve been able to get out of an integrated deck. When I set out on this project, I thought that it would only work well with really ridged designs. I was wrong. By using a bamboo/fiberglass composite I’ve been able to create decks with a very natural flex. @RyEnd will be testing this one out… and I think I’m going to make one for myself too This deck has the same sized compartment as the drop-deck, except I pushed it out a couple millimeters. Now I was able to fit 74 each 18650 cells with some wiggle room.
