They are. Dex said they arenā€™t doing a production run of these though. I havenā€™t ridden them yet.

But I can tell you this ā€” the photographs donā€™t do these justice

When theyā€™re in your hands, theyā€™re fukkinā€™ massive

The first sign of how huge they are is when you go to grab one and you almost canā€™t reach across to the other side to pick it up

No, not yet Bro. Is a long project. Everything from scratch. All aluminum build from the outside-in. Foot measures are precise though. Is a flat pintail alum deck with no concave so I added a front footstop; has a narrow rear end, thus the need to fabricated these aluminum gas pedals (which are a must for this deck not originally conceived for elecrification, nor Esk8).

Oh yeah, of course! Is just some black grip tape over the fish bone deck. Gotta have some grip somewhere. Is slippery shiny metal all over :grin::laughing:. Footstop comes in handy. Iā€™m gonna install a rear footstop as well. Havenā€™t decided which one yet. Among some choices are one design based on a Netherskate model which @surfnacho could CNC for me; I can use anotherAlsen Trucks like the one installed up front; or one similar to that @Ean.esk8 installed on his quad motor build.

Of course not, Bro :grin:. I will change the black grip tape on the fish bone sections for clear grip so the aluminum below will be seen trough.
