Drop-Thru V1

First Prototype is built and being tested:

Designed to handle large wheels with plenty of footspace for multiple stances. Stiff while absorbing any bumps, light, stable, agile and FAST!

“Torsion-Box” based construction consists of two cores. Provides great dampening properties, longitudinal strength, and torsional stiffness. Each capped in separate fiberglass caps.
Vacuum laminated and heat cured.

Drop-Thru Speed Board Spec’s:

Length: 41 1/4″
Width: 10 1/4″
Wheel Base: 32 1/2″
Gas pedal concave

I’ve been riding it as much as I can, and honestly it rides amazing. It has a bit more flex than a hellcat. Soft flex until all your weight is on it, then it goes stiff. Gives a great responsive ride through corners and drifts. Accelerating you faster. Absorbs plenty, but still feels solid. Wwaayyy light, and fits large wheels with out a problem. The concave isn’t anything extreme but provides a great locked in feeling with out any pain. Nacho and myself were testing it on a local hair pin, and it corners real well. Straight line, also great. So far the only improvement will be to the drop through hole. I’m not sure whether it will be able to fit Holey’s, but that will be fixed on the next proto.

Next up will be a top mount speedboard. Watch out!

This board was constructed for the ‘SilverFish Board Build-Off’. Click the link to check it out!

Which it won first place. Thanks for those who have voted. I look forward to pushing my building further in the future.
