@billappleton can I get a picture of the underside of your board more specifically your enclosure
Howdy just posted Hellboy in the Builds, shows more there, thanks

Hey, would be great to have your crap road photos and broken arm photos over here.
Sorry about your arm, that sux. How did you land on it?

You know that proverbial 5-minute ride from home, where you think 
I don’t need pads, just a helmet is fine… I’m going under 20… it’s just a burrito 
Five minutes later, I nail the throttle, pick up momentum and then, ka-thunk.
Board nosedives and literally pitches me into a superman, into the street. Just imagine diving into the street hands first, like that.
I made my roll, incredibly, but on the first one my left wrist went wide and hit the street, like a flyswatter.
apple’s finest timepiece sheared off a piece of bone on one side of my wrist, and a different, longer bone in my forearm cracked like a toothpick, longways.
my biggest mistake was waiting it out with a splint; had to start over today. 
be careful friends

https://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/no-words-just-pictures-delete-words-use-pm/2992/8483?u=riako What a cool setup! 10s6p … and even more in the back (it is for a top mount pack ?)!
you’re going to improve/upgrade it with the 5653 ? Againts the 6380, if so, can I ask why ?

Unrelated images. The Hoyts are for smaller street build.
10S6P into a LaCroix deck. No top mount, just flipped upside down and messy as I was feverishly trying to beat the rainy season approaching.

its looks like a sweet candy, with awesome savor, ready to be relished!!!

Haha thanks! I think so too. I went with metallic green for the remote and deck, using automotive paint so i’ll never worry about water damage from the deck.
@nuttyjeff was going on about how the board looks like a production board that a big company made haha

Wait or are you referring to the red grease in the gears that look like jam…

Looks fantastic. Will it actually be practical though?
From my year of riding now on skate wheels I’d say a suspension is only needed when I’d encounter unexplored terrain so I could be less fearful of tackling it, but even then I’d argue that since we don’t have a wheel to steer aka steering wheel, we wouldn’t want a suspension for our boards. We just don’t control these boards like other vehicles aka cars and motor bikes, where a suspension is actually a necessity to safely drive them.
I’d love to be wrong though and see some cool suspension drives come to fruition.
@Idea, I can’t exactly tell from the geometry, but will this suspension system alter/increase the angle of the trucks when traveling throughout the suspension motion? If not, I have a feeling these are going to be sick.
And omfg. Just so pretty to look at!!! I dream of riding something like this one day.
@sayekim
A few weeks ago I bought a Winboard GT M6 (Halo Board)
If you were riding on this board, you would definitely like to have a soft suspension 
But now seriously 
You’re right … suspension in the longboard can make the control worse. The second disadvantage is the increase in weight
However, I like non-standard solutions, so I want to try to build such a suspension. … I will try to find a compromise … I do not know if I will succeed.
@skatardude10 The suspension arm is long, (100 mm), so the geometry change will be small
@dareno These are the first sketches … the final design will probably change … In the project I used the G-Bomb Black Panther 26 deck

No, definitely to the build 
But it also work for your jam ^^ haha
You should find a green one !

Love the concept! Those trucks look like the swiss precision ones I put on the pic thread ages ago.
Please get a prototype running.

SPT trucks are beautiful. These trucks inspired me to build my own trucks of similar construction
