I should have known youād be up in here with that
Dang is that a cast baseplate? Iām never using cast baseplates on Esk8 everā¦this exact thing happened to me. I donāt think that part is good enough for our use of made out of cast alu
Did that only take one dayās worth of riding to snap!? Thatās mental.
Man, I hope that damage to your glasses was from them falling off. Heal up!
DANG! Hope youāre okay!
What was it? ESC cut out?
He wobbled out because he was going fast with soft bushings on dkp trucks. It wasnāt hardware failure.
I might be. The struggle is half the fun.
More like BMS cutout, but also shit nontheless
Yep, in true casting form. They could crack from a small hit, and youād never know it. Then, imagine riding along and you hit a small bump, and it finally gives out.
Lol I donāt even have to imagine
Put it in the back of your mind and come back to it whenever. Only thinking like $20 plus shipping. Silhouette cameo 2. Lots of super cute bonus stickers.
Holy fuck man, that helmet.
You can hardly see how crunched in it is with it being so white but yeah. Barely remember that crash.
I was going on one final ride before packing my board up for Colorado Thunder in the Mountains and was literally 60 seconds from being home. Jumped a speed bump that Iād jumped a billion times before and it immediately felt like I had no bushings in.
Itās kind of nuts how many cracked trucks Iāve seen around here in the not very long time Iāve been around. I guess vibration is a lot worse vs raw impact than I initially thought. Obviously, they were different trucks, but I used cast trucks to jump off of things up to about 10 feet high for years and never had anything fail other than a couple of kingpins on certain brands. I guess I did see people break some low-end street skating trucks and there are a couple of examples of pros breaking them mostly on stuff over 10 feet tall, but itās surprising to me that stuff doesnāt break them more compared to eskate.
Also how common are broken kingpins? Since that is the only thing Iāve experienced before and there are so many broken trucks I would think there would be tons of broken kingpins.
Yupā¦ Previous Atlas was forged. Guess to keep the price the same and increase performance they had to cut corners like this
Iām chillin, Three scratches and a sore bum thatās all
