Most people (who aren’t using drop through boards) use risers right?
Am I missing something here? Why not make a steel (springy) base plate, the width of a standard truck mounting plate, bent round like this in a kind of U shape that you can bolt ANY standard truck to, then bolt that to the board?
The depth of the U shaped spring could replace the risers…
What if, by using this same principle, you could create a springy (not too springy) plate that fit to ALL standard skateboards and to ALL standard trucks, thereby enabling you to use ANY trucks and have some kind of ride dampener…? Like this I just knocked up…
Do you think a design like this would need some kind of damper? If it’s sprung than it can possibly twist under load maybe and start to wobble. This is a cool idea though.
I use avenue for my esk8 but, i found it bounce me off at high speed cornering, Im switching rear to caliber. unless suspension has damper on, reduce travel time, it’s not good for high speed cornering, it will bounce you off the board.
I tried to switch the hanger but normal hangers like the Enertion-Hanger don’t fit the Avenue Baseplate.
And the Avenue hanger is a about 1cm smaler than the Evolve-Gen2-Hanger I’m currently using and have unfortunate geometry for motor-mounts, so my Dual-15mm-6355-setup will not fit on them which is bad.
Would like to find a wider hanger that fits, currently I can use them as front-truck only
I ordered a pair recently too. I’m hoping that I can get a local machine shop to CNC custom trucks to fit a hub motor. I still need to decide which hub motor to buy first.
I was thinking of doing the same thing for my board. A riser that also functions as suspension. My board has 3/4 inches risers now. Let me know if you get these made.
