Couldn't find the last thread, so here we go again..

Just getting dark now, so only had a quick go down our gentle sloping road, early signs look good, gonna break a limb in the morning!!!

the bungy is to keep the front `skid' up if I get air!!!

I've put ribs on the bottoms of the decks to aid striaghty liney ness, which the last one didn't have. I'm hoping the front suspension forks absorb some of the bumps on the tufty hill near us!!

Quite right, off out to make a skid patch now, then pub for a few hours, then play on said patch!!!

See you in the next life/ A&E

Still waiting for it to snow proper....

harris · « **Reply #18 on:** January 19, 2013, 01:47 PM »

are yours weighted betty
after 2 years of trial and error the tucks are built offset
when you pick the bike the skis tip up afront n rear for when you manual or jump
or they dig in and over you go.
spent 3 hours out the other day never fell of once,my mate built some like yours and nearly broke his face.

Betty · « **Reply #19 on:** January 19, 2013, 02:20 PM »

They're not weighted Danny, just tightened up tight so they won't flap about, still at prototype stage

Snows disappearing rapidly ere so i've not had chance to try it

ED209 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 19, 2013, 03:00 PM »

Yours look much too slick Dan! are you ready to mass produce

how does it ride? do you feel like you are on a bike? or totally different?

harris · « **Reply #21 on:** January 19, 2013, 03:12 PM »

ive sold over 40 pairs of trucks some mtb some bmx
its ppp perfect no issues just have fun
nose manuals are scarry.

GavinDavis · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2013, 10:48 PM »

I'd love to have a go on one of these! They look awesome!

So I take it, some people are running them solid with no movement and others running bushes and free to pivot?

harris · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2013, 11:02 PM »

yep.
solid aint so nice,my first set was fixed not many tricks are doable.

GavinDavis · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2013, 09:15 AM »

Sounds good! Certainly makes me wanna build one!
