Itās a sweet deck, worth mall grabbing the trucks for.
A buddy put a tayto kit on one and its a dream underfoot.
But the trucks always have nasty black shit on them that gets on my hands LoL
The handle in front of the front trucks stays surprisingly clean, for being right next to the street.
thatās actually a not bad idea, i might do that in the future
time for side handle
ugh
no thanks.
Then the handle gets dirty, itās slow to pick up, hard to go in and out of doors, hard to set it in a shopping cart/trolley, hard to set on the ground, and if you roll over a soda bottle, you donāt have a cow catcher on the front to shove it out of the way.
You ever thought about a dual use handle/foot-stop molded into the tip of the deck? Could lay-up over it with GF/Fabric or both. Itād be a fun but time consuming project.

Solid, I dig it.
I still canāt wrap my head around the dimensions of this board. Is it little, like you can one arm it straight out in front of you? Or is it a chonker incognito?
Known reference standards I intrinsically understand are everywhere in the pics, but I still donāt know if it weighs 15lbs or 35lbs. 24?
Itās like an optical illusion. To me, it looks like a monster truck, and a clown bike at the same timeā¦
Edit - I still canāt get my head around riding something like that with such a short wheelbase on 110s and risers. Iām intrigued.
Itās the size of a popsicle deck but a little wider. You can one-arm out in front of you for 4 seconds or so but idk much longer than that. Long enough to pick it up and manuever it to your side straight-armed.
Just weighed Bigfoot, itās 24.4 lbs (11.1 kg)
I get a mining ore truck vibe from it, one of those huge ones.
itās got 130s, not 110s
Of course. Even better
Future man.
Arenāt those precut tabs freaking awesome!!!
They are fantastic. But iām not sold on 0.2 nickel. Welds had to be fucking hot to make them stick good, and it took me quite a bit longer than usual to get this done.
@BenjaminF is there any consideration for 0.15 tabs in the future?
whatchu welding wif?
Yup me too, it will be my next deck once the ChooChoo rebuild is finished
Thinking about keeping light and cheap with a 10s1p; not yet sure about the drivetrain
Hm on my kweld, I can do 0.20 mm at only 48 joules for rock solid welds, for reference, thatās half power.
Oh and those slots actually help keeping the welds off the centre, neat!
Probably not. These nickel tabs main purpose is for the KitPCBās, where they act as the main series connections. 0.15 wouldnāt carry enough current for that, and I dont really have the excess funds to invest in another SKU of nickel right now.
Maybe someday, if there is demand. Or you could just stop pussyfooting around with your welder, Al
