Got some Riding footage uploaded this week.
Watching some riding, you can start to really see what it means to have progressive steering.
The board we’re riding in this video has very low pivot angles, 22 deg front, 18 deg rear.
But because the effective pivot angle increases as you lean, as well as being able to lean a lot more than typical trucks, you end up being to do some pretty wild turns.
We could push things in a direction where we’re trying to make it behave and feel closer to a traditional Longboard. That’s what the experimental design in the previous video was about. Frankly, having such low angles, and having to lean so far in order to access basic maneuverability is not something most riders are used to, or even open to.
But letting the design follow its own course and be what it wants to be is I think still the right approach for the moment. There’s still a lot of lessons to be learned through this course, and the result is becoming something really unique.
