Digital Nomad… I bounce between, Santa Monica, Newport Beach, Foothill Ranch and Mammoth.
Hopefully I’ll be teaching my riding buddies in Mammoth how to assemble these.

I am so crazy hyped for this. I hope with your work and maybe your parts @powertraverse I’ll Abe able to board up a hill this winter.
Godamn this is hype. You should bring it up to the rockies and try it somewhere like Marmot or Whistler.

Considering sandboarding is a thing very related to snowboarding but with more friction, do you think you could have a powered sandboard, for flat ground? That would be an interesting test!

Too much surface tension. Might work with some effort.

Those torque arms are super interesting, how is the rotation handles I’m turns? Are you using ball pivots, bushings or something else?

@tech.shit on edge the arms lift the motor from the snow line.
When you lean back to tail-press they are designed to dig in and bite more.
The entire arm is a bushing, it deflects in every direction. (The energy is focused to release vertically.)
Just enough material to suspend the motor from the tail.
Update: Case complete
