The thought gives me chills and flashbacks to hitting perfectly pyramidal stones on soft concrete and flying 20 feet… That was just normal downhill bombing with traditional street board and regular ol grindkings or krux trucks… These fuckers look deadly!
Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a critic of your awesome board, just being anal about the criteria used to define ultra slims (highest point being the top of the wheel, hence being able to also roll belly up)
No problem at all , but then looking at the pictures posted I think many didn’t get that
Where are the problems with your actual design of the deck?
Its integrated, right? With lid on the top?
no, lid at the bottom
StOrmBreaKer_BullyDeck 37” Integrated Enclosure | MAD Storm DD | Popoca 90mm | Focbox Unity | 12s4p 30Q you can see picture here and the bad first ride I had
Basically all the other decks I design were based on existing mould, so you cna press them properly. If you do that the several layers will run for the whole deck length giving great properties to the board.
For this one I could not find a proper mould so decided to press a multiple layers flat, get a cube and work all the shape with the CNC. That ended up cost me plus 300 Euro and mainly not having all the layers runing for the entire length, due to the drop down configuration. If it would have been a classic deck no problem, but drop down put a lot of forces at the ends and not been properly supported by al lthe wood layers made it cracked.
Now I found a mould for it, but not sure I want to invest again to make it. For sure this time with the mould it would be pressed properly, like the ChooChoo and should work no problem. The short riding experience I had was really really nice.
Thank you, will watch out for the thread later on, im pretty confused how i could miss that
oh man, I love you for doing it this way, bc lid on the top sucks imo.
yeah, that is the main problem on drop down decks machined from a block.
No way out of this, even not with carbon fibre or FG, thats for sure.mhhhh
Maybe some kind of metal plates to strenghten the areas where the forces are the strongest …sorry, just dreaming
Sorry to hear about your financial losses on this one, but very accurate work like always, dood.
Nice DD btw,
yes I prefer lid at the bottom, You cna use real concave at the top. I know made a short kicktail deck that I am working on since 6 months. Need to find time to finish the gear drive for it. Deck is made and looks amazing, inspired to my favourit short deck from MADRID skate.
Yes the drop thorugh could be achieved with metal bracket but I prefered all wood. So the only way to do it properly is by pressing it. Now I found a mould nad would work but I mainly use short boards, so this one was an experiment.
Yeh this DD is amazing Thanks. A lot of silent power
sorry for being a bit late, my friend, i was skateboarding
I cant add ideas or words on what you said.
You are so fuckin right, Allessio
But why fucking drop down?..money lost…0ver…New_ Start…01010101
YOU have some serious power, doooooood!..
What about the short one? I have seen some little parts on some pics in your threads where some tiny short integrated deck came to daylight. That is the one you mentioned i know. Awesome work as we all know from your hands.
How about the shorter deck? Does it run on DD, too?
Sorry for highjackin the thread, bros
My board without the cone washer would work
can one still get a choochoo deck?
needs bigger wheels or that davega is dead when you ride it upside down ultra style.
Was meant to use haggies, but they bite on the front when turning
Boys I have bad news…I think a OneWheel without the guard counts
9" tires makes almost everything count.
I dunno, my MBS wouldn’t count even with a 10" wheel
fine fine. bigger wheels.
