slopestar Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Front binding at Nose Second pic is back binding towards the nose. The bases in the front and rear interface the board 90* to the edge but taper/canteleiver a little more creating slop? Dampening? Bigger footprint board to riser? Thoughts? Experiments? Butcher block examples? Edited October 23, 2018 by slopestar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishsurfer Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Took me a second to realise what I was looking at since everything is stealth black . Pretty impressive I'm guessing there 3d printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Yes. I know a very skilled engineer. Way beyond me. My stance angles on this board are 27/18. I use power plates on another board with 3* inward canting. He has made these at 21/9 with 3* pure inward canting. I just rotated my bindings a bit on these figuring the canting difference would be hard to notice. First test drive in ultra crowded conditions this weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they feel compared to your Power Plate setup? i have sold my Apex Gecko Stealths as they were not as good for my liking as Bomber Power Plates. I have gone back to the Power Plates with 3 degree cants on both front and rear with my angles at +30 and +6, but I would love to find a lighter option. cheers, sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I think had I used them at their intended angles, I would have had better results. Power plates and their weight I believe add a level of dampening that is not present in the printed plates. As a result of the “over rotation” I wound up breaking them. Too much torque at the mounting point and flexing of the board under foot made for catastrophic failure. I am looking forward to trying some of Sean Martins flat risers this season.
