The "Ankle Wreacher" Stooge v5 SN28 Build - the big rebuild

This thread has been dormant for months! But this board has been anything but idle.
I wrote a lengthy update post a few months ago, but then fat-fingered the save draft button and deleted it :man_facepalming:
if you thought the other update posts were long…


Races!

I’ve raced Ankle Wreacher in bunch of races in the past couple months.

  • Esk8con 2024
  • Electrify Expo Phoenix(Pro)
  • Electrify Expo Long Beach(Pro)
  • Electrify Expo Long Beach(Pro)

At esk8con,
I fell got launched in my second heat race(skill issue), and missed making it to the final by a single point :smiling_face_with_tear:

On the positive side, I got the sickest onboard video I’ve ever recorded.




I also have to share this video from Tilo of our thane race. Was the most fun part of the weekend (sound on)
Tilo Zhu-Dollenbacher on Instagram: "thank you @tuckjohn37 for the most fun race of the weekend, and apologies to @davidpilny and @vasekhruby for losing our lead 😅"

At EE Long Beach (Pro),
I took 1st place in the saturday race! Hoping that it’s the first of many.

The secret of my win

Also, on the unlikely chance you haven’t see it yet, Electrify Expo hired a documentary crew that’s been filming the race series. They’ve been doing a good job with these first episodes.


Following esk8con, I took a recovery break from esk8 racing.

I adopted an adorable pair of cats. I love these buggers.


Getting back into it, a lot of my attention was pulled away from Ankle Wreacher as I built myself a “not-a-raceboard”.

Nothing Fancy’s build thread here;

If you’re curious, I wrote up a comparison of what these two boards feel like on the track, specifically comparing 3-links with Duality Trucks. #204 over there.
