Was leaving IKEA, I wanted to drop the esk8 on this and skate down it SO BADLY but I donāt want them telling me not to bring my esk8 inside Ikea. I just walked down like a Neanderthal, carrying the skate
Photographs do not accurately convey the hugeness of these wheels. When you go to grab them and you can barely reach across them with your hand, you begin to understand how big they are
They are ginormous
HOW THOUGH
Are those the TB130 prototypes?
I canāt believe Ikea has 130mm esk8 wheelsā¦
Iām totally not jealousā¦ I donāt want these at allā¦ ā¦
They are. Dex said they arenāt doing a production run of these though. I havenāt ridden them yet.
But I can tell you this ā the photographs donāt do these justice
When theyāre in your hands, theyāre fukkinā massive
The first sign of how huge they are is when you go to grab one and you almost canāt reach across to the other side to pick it up
They look fucking awesome bro! I hope you like them
Send them my way when youāre doneā¦
When Iām done with them, there wonāt be anything left
So So cool
But, you ever ride it barefoot :o
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).
very cool, wait byt can you actually stand on it barefoot? Looks like a foot-grater
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 . Footstop comes in handy. Iām gonna install a rear footstop as well. Havenāt 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.
@surfnacho told me this one was doable.
Why doesnāt he want to do a production run? I feel like I need these, lol.
whatchu gonna put them on?
I bought a pack of those. Did you get them on Amazon?
