Mig Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 SC8, from France, used to do the slot/dropmount a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclite Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 SC8, from France, used to do the slot/dropmount a long time ago. You can't 'slide' the randals in because of the 'wings' on the baseplate. Only paris, indy, and any trucks that have a base without any extra edges or anything would work to actually slide in the mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I know. I was just stating that the slot thingy has been going on for a while. ;) I might even add the main reason that type of mount (or better said, board shape) was "invented" was to avoid smashing and delaminating the fragile tips of drop-through boards when hitting a curb, and not to slide the trucks in. The baseplate and hardware take the blunt of the shock, which is not necessarily a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arclite Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'd much rather let a little of the board stick out on the nose and tail than let my trucks take a full speed run into cement. Hell, they sell rubber nose protectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvingchef Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi Mig when i thought of the NADD i was thinking that probably it has been done before i just had not seen it before and my idea was just out of total laziness and not wanting to remove the hangers to mount the trucks, that's why i made it so that it would only work with trucks you can actually slide in, i'm already working on another one that will have bumpers on both ends for those close encounters with the curb on another note, i 'm honored that the man behind FULLBAG SKATEBOARD is taking the time to post on this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvingchef Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 i liked the shape of Julian's ROAD RAGE so i made one for myself and because they are very similar the name ROAD RAGE is going to stick with this shape total length 40 inches, wheel base 32 inches (inner hole to inner hole) with concave (thanks Boris for the tip on how to) a little bit of camber and an extra layer of coolness at the bottom, paris 180 and freeride wheels we took it for a test ride around the block this morning and it's surprisingly very easy to pump and keep going and going base detail mount detail concave detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Super nice, Andrea! I'm glad your camber thing worked out. What method you used for carbon? You can email me offline, if you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Nope, I know what he did for concave. I'm interested how he laid the carbon. Just rolling on, or vacuum bag, or some sort of pressing with removable layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvingchef Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Julian's new ROAD RAGE after riding my road rage he wanted one with concave and carbon so here it is 30 inch wheel base, 9 inch wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvingchef Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 the FRANKENDONEK this one was a defunct DONEK snowboard before the mad scientist brought it back to life as a longboard, hence the name by the way, this board is going to SES to be given away at the raffle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvingchef Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 actually they are all functional but some ride better than others and some were made more for show than performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 actually they are all functional but some ride better than others and some were made more for show than performance Andrea/Julian, I love the boards! I love the form but live for function. I am interested in a custom liquor store transport. You already know I want a quiver killer snowboard. I need the same out of a skate deck. I am not looking to replace my park/bowl board but want the one I can bomb a hill, surf the sidewalk and weave turns with. Need ideas/input/expertise/total creative freedom and a price. Hook your favorite softboot carver up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
