I ride stiff boards for exactly this reason. Personal preference for sure but in my world, I want a fairly strict relationship between angulation and response.

Iām a kookā¦ I love some of my boards to be noodlesā¦ some stiff as steelā¦
Gbombs flex and add to the pump and the carve!

Gbonb setups definitely flex and add energy to non powered pump set ups.

The shock absorber looks interesting for sure and is always welcome I guess. But the spring steel bracket would need to be quite thin right?
Im planning to use brackets similar to what I printed in combination with mbs matrix 2 trucks and bindings in the future

Iām thinking 3-5mm thick 1040 spring steelā¦ I still havenāt found a good sourceā¦ I may try a junkyard and use some dis-guarded leaf springsā¦

Damn. Looks sweet. Is the top of the deck convex, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

yup about 25mm an inch or so of curve (convex) to the deck front to back with a pretty aggressive concave as wellā¦ itās a pretty fun board to ride now that Brad @RipTideSports has helped me flesh out the bushingsā¦ it carves deep, and has a lot of popā¦ almost like a pump deckā¦ it was just what I wantedā¦

Just to be clearer, itās not āsomeoneā as Stan says, itās a good friend, (Alexis if you remind him at the cup last summer he was the guy with the big 4wd trampa, and was playing the music too) who is actually prototyping this build in order to have something really but really like really really fast and stable as hell but can be turny too at normal speed. Heās going to make his own custom deck, and add two more 8085 motors and 200a vesc to make it 4wd. He already tested in dual but results arenāt that good in term of power, he got cut out while going full throttle maybe cause he tend to have sag on his 12s10p vtc batt but that would be weird so heās working to solve this problem. Something impressive is coming in the next few month for sure, stay tuned

Looks like the same deck used for a trophy at Dump road last week: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1245309585859242&set=a.101407520249460&type=3&theater
