I would assume there aren’t many people making metal decks because of the vibrations you get while riding

I just got one of these but don’t have the wheels yet. The slip that it comes with says they’re made of recycled aluminum and plastics

Looks good!
Did you put the fg on the bottom end layer?

scrapheap · May 5, 2021, 3:56pm

A few others have been doing it for a while.

threesix downhill [link]
scissorflip [link]
rogers brothers [link]
aluminati boards [link]

These guys are the ones I know of.
I have one from ThreeSix, but I haven’t electrified it yet. I’ll have to try it out eventually, though.

Wouldn’t aluminum be a poor choice for flexible boards? IIRC there’s a definite fatigue limit to aluminum where it will snap, compared to something like steel which will reach a point where repeated flexing wouldn’t degrade it further.

ShutterShock · May 5, 2021, 5:20pm

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to make it flexible.

I’m sure i’ve seen someone with a red aluminium deck on his build arround here

Edit : nailed it : Onsra 115mm airless wheel quick review.
That’s a threesix

Fucking rad

JeffyJ · May 5, 2021, 11:08pm

Thanks!. Fg on the bottom for now. Will Fg top too once I’ve installed threaded inserts for enclosure

Amazing how it looks invisible on the second picture, well done mate.

JeffyJ · May 5, 2021, 11:44pm

Ah yes, I must admit that’s my bad uploading pics out of order. It can look invisible if using clear epoxy as I’ve done another deck like that. This one however will get a few more thin coats and be black.

pmg · May 5, 2021, 11:47pm

Ahahaha thanks for your honesty.

I have one of those I am riding around. They are super duper solid.

@jack.luis

you can get them cheaper from this dude on instagram if interested.

Which would you be most likely to put on one of your builds?

I like this. How much?

BenjaminF · May 7, 2021, 5:29am

No clue yet. Still in the early prototype phase, but I want to move pretty quick on this project cus I really need a grab handle lol. Ive got a list of interested people about 10 long so far.

JeffyJ · May 7, 2021, 5:52am

Add me to the list! Cheers

Balta_6 · May 7, 2021, 7:29am

It will hurt your hand if the handle is so slim

BenjaminF · May 7, 2021, 7:34am

That’s what the TPU grip is for

There are a few others that have ThreeSix builds that aren’t a part of these forums or the other one. It’s why I decided to get one to try out but I have been preoccupied with other projects, so esk8 went on the backburner.

The trickiest part with ThreeSix decks is that a traditional under-deck enclosure isn’t going to work if someone wants to go that route. Some guy did a really neat alternative, but his thread disappeared two years ago, on the other forum.

The guy making ThreeSix decks is pretty awesome and responsive to questions. I’m actually interested in getting another deck from him. It does take 3 weeks for him to make it, but if you want a custom paint job you can ask and see if he’ll do it, because sometimes he does.

I will say this - it’s been mentioned but the guy behind ThreeSix states that his decks are only for downhill and not skate parks nor for doing tricks. This might be a deal-breaker for some.

Duck penisis are actually corkscrew shaped, and are extraordinarily lengthy
