I do, i wedge the front and dewedge the back, with 7 deg risers.

So it’s like 42/28 for my set up

Wow, nice. I needa get me some wedges and try it out.

malJohann · January 9, 2020, 5:31am

My back is 40 and my front is 25.

glyphiks · January 9, 2020, 5:32am

whaaaa???

RipTideSports · January 9, 2020, 5:33am

What to you have @malJohann a fork lift?

malJohann · January 9, 2020, 5:33am

Makes the front carvy and the back stable.

glyphiks · January 9, 2020, 5:33am

No dude, the other way around works for that

malJohann · January 9, 2020, 5:34am

malJohann · January 9, 2020, 5:35am

Correct, my mistake! Other way around.

Brad, @RipTideSports, while we have you here, any thoughts on making riptide elastomers to replace standard springs on channel trucks in different durometers?

I know you’ve done a lot with La Croix… is that a conflict of interest? or is there no use in replacement? what’re your thoughts on Trampas elastomers?

malJohann · January 9, 2020, 5:39am

Then actually, my back is 30 and my front is 45.

glyphiks · January 9, 2020, 5:41am

Yeah right. I need to try your board even more now.

RipTideSports · January 9, 2020, 5:46am

No conflict @kook that I can see just need a pair of trucks to play around with to see what can be done. The solution they came up with seems a bit uninspired.

kook · January 9, 2020, 5:47am

I 100% agree… sometime at the races you can check out my Kaly and we can figger it out…

RipTideSports · January 9, 2020, 5:56am

@kook I just realized I already did design work on the Trampa, just haven’t made the parts yet. The solution is hidden in this picture to protect our IP! TRAMPA TRUCK|690x361

kook · January 9, 2020, 5:59am

anxious to see what you’ve come up with!
right now… it “feels” like I’m getting close to coil-bind when I smash a corner really hard on springs

I’m also anxious to take some esk8s out the the venues we were talking about last year… but gawd damn this the the busy racing season… I’ll have some free time maybe in March!!!

Currently have a some Kaly Gear Drives sitting around waiting to be mounted on a regular longboard deck. Got the 3dServisa risers but not big on the added height. Definitely interested in purchasing/testing these asap.

RipTideSports · January 9, 2020, 11:35pm

@DavidF can you send me the deck rendering as a .step file?

kook · January 10, 2020, 1:37am

Any thoughts on production? A test guinea pig? I’m your kook!

We will do a design review over the weekend to be sure we have not missed any low hanging problems then grab a couple you you to have a look before we prototype
