Stock right now but looking to throw a wedge on the back when I find longer bolts haha.

Edit: I found longer bolts and swapped them this morning!

Oh yeah, dewedged rear feels way way better. I prefer a divier set up, with like 70% turning up front vs 30% in the rear. No wedges felt more like 60/40 and that was too much rear end action for my liking :smirk:

Have you tried putting 100% of your turning in the front and 0deg rear? It not only works but imo works really well.

Yeah that’s what 3 links feels like and I’m not a fan. I need some full board responsiveness for when I’m offroading.

I humbly accept and await proper hazing. Going to Utah this weekend to pick up two more and some parts. May need to find more wall hooks.

Really should get a regular longboard wall stand for the analog collection - i just like to see them all displayed though and those stands don’t spark joy :laughing:

You should do two stories with the Shorter boards.

I think it should be a collector badge, nobody should want to be a hoarder.

Yes… im a collector… that’s the story. :laughing: Na really i just like to work on this stuff. Started offloading what doesn’t get any mileage to better homes so i can get more to fix up or make then repeat. If sits it goes for cheap to someone who will ride it like it’s stolen.

Ive got my two boats - the bog roosh gets most of the love but both get their legs stretched pretty regular. Need to do the build thread on the nostromo (white naz on dualities) The koi boi is gonna get a rework because it’s not as fun as i want it. Pretty but could be more carvey - But as is its my only shorty boi thane it gets the passenger seat on long work days so i have fomo and don’t want to put it on the bench until i get my other light commuter built : the tangent - gonna get a set of loaded hubs or maybe neo hubs and a small battery but pull off the surf trucks to maybe go on the koi.

My analog cruiser gets some hills and a little lunch pushing on nice days. The penny is my youngest kids and she just wants to sit on it and scoot. The backfire is a repair job for @Egtscs and the awd is gifted to my brother because i don’t ride or loan it and he wants to make a snowboard length craziness and im down to help

If it gets dusty it has to go - un used fun things makes me sad - gotta find a loving home and get it used up

Trigger?

That’s a helluva ride man!

Hell ya it was, fsr i thought the loop ride was counter clockwise and i was gonna dip at the most north end… it was clockwise so i got to the meet having done 1/3 of the 23mile loop, did the loop, then did a chunk of the loop again :rofl: had to stop and charge twice - this was on my dualities build which has half the range of the bog roosh as it’s both faster and smaller battery. I was also late so i was flying in hard too

Duuuude! So good seeing your avatar again! How’s gengar doing?

Yeah been awhile huh lol. I’m a full blown Florida man now haha. Most my boards had a bunch of issues pile up right after I moved out here. My Ghengar Evo’s gear drives started having issues and then the motors went. I swapped it out with some parts from my currently dead Hummie build but the battery is cooked and only charges to 70% now :man_shrugging:

Got stuck in a torrential down pour with my Hummie build and that killed the battery and the esc’s on that board lol.

However I just recently inherited all of my buddies old Enertion stuff from when he worked for them including 2 working raptors and bunch of extra raptor parts. Plus his old DIY he built back in like 2018. Thing somehow still charges to 100%.
