Jack M Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 4 corner axles, perpendicular to the board Then I don't see how the mounts can possibly hinge without deforming the plate and board. Maybe there can be some sliding going on, but I doubt hinging. In the offset configuration, the plate seems to become a huge flex modifier, more than a suspension system. Good thing the mounts can be arranged traditionally. Wish we had more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Maybe the JJA mounting points are ball-joints instead of hinge-style joints? Or the amount of board/plate flex needed is small enough not to matter in practical use? The typical engineering joint design 'rules' can become irrelevant when using materials that are much more flexible than the hardware. My simple brain can't imagine what the offset axles would feel like... But I want to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 From the local crew, Kaz has the most similar style... Most of the instructional videos from Marco have similar type of riding. Team32 vids, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
