Wow :star_struck: I didnā€™t see your thread. Very nice. I gave up covering the edges, my deck has some angles I did not manage to cover correctly. Anyways I am trying to figure out how to have a nice separation line between the skin and the wood edges.

I used a straight and a rounded file to get the perfect edges.
I think this video will help. shows you exactly how i make my decks step by step and how to get a nice separation line. (not my video)
I hope it helps its how i learned to skin

Our school had a rack in the office we were required to put them in. It was a massive steel monstrosity made by the welding class. You could lock a board up though.

I honestly use it every time I step on any one of my boards at any speed. They all have some kinda foot stop on them. I find foot stops helpful from a muscle memory standpoint.

The first lesson is free. The second one is going to cost you something you hold very dearly.

Would you like to take another swing?

Iā€™ll sit down for it this time.

nice man! I like the fornt disc brake. Does it have 2 thottles? Which motors did you use? from which frame did you start? Basically please tell me everything matter about itā€¦I am still deciding which motor to use, maybe 80100 is even too big nad can go with 8080 to save in width.

ok maybe 80100 is too much ahahahahah

Thatā€™s a original GoPed Bigfoot after a few petrol upgrades. Once a removed the petrol motor I slapped on a @Boardnamics motor mount to the frame, it actually worked out really well. The motor used is a @dickyho 6374 170kv with 15/80 gearing. For the battery, I made a 12s3p split pack for either side of the frame to fit between the deck mounts. I had a TB4.12 laying around and it fit perfectly to the frame tube.

For the handle bar, the right side is the throttle and the left is a regen rear brake with a mechanical front disc brake. Tbh the dual brake is fantastic, I use regen brake mostly, but for the need of nimble scenarios, or oh shits, the front mech brake is perfect! It was a fun build, and now more of my friends can go on rides with me because of the handle bar.
