You may have confused me with my man @jeffmccosker he's SMOOTH.
Oh yeah, my bad! One too many falls on the asphalt lately, I'm losing my memory.

Had to fix the +'s most glaring problem. Next up vicious grip :)
-Oh and don't worry I cut holes for the "Hyper Core" :D lol

@braswell 🔥bro love it🤘

Thanks to @ashewheeler and his ingenuity with the handle, I think I just came up with a great idea:
http://burtonriglet.com/howto-burton-riglet-reel/
Made for towing your kid snowboarding, this retractable handle could likely mount to the center of the fender. That way you could grab it when about to hit the jump, sketchy area, whatever...the release it back to the mount automatically. BOOM. Game changer?? Best of both worlds!
Back to mowing the yard. 🙌🤘🤙

@Snurfer yes bro the flow of evolution I love it➖🌎➖
-
@braswell BTW, you don't have to cut a hole for the hypercore if you'd prefer not to. The heat doesn't actually come through that hole like it appears it does in the graphic Future Motion uses. Those arrows are showing that the heat is being pulled from the axle of the wheel, not really through the holes in the rails. It's more being dispersed across the aluminum frame and immediately into the air.

@Snurfer looks awesome, great find! So does this mean you'll be a guinea pig? ;)

@braswell I later read some mixed reviews of the riglet, so I'm Not sure anymore. Worried about the strength. I started looking for a stronger alternative and found this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009FGA1HM/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8
It's kind of bulky and I don't think it would be ideal, but it's worth considering.
I need my plus before I can try anything 😔
I started thinking a strong bungee might work, kind of like what the burton no fish board used to have. I dunno.
I still am waiting on @ashewheeler to post the shopping list for his setup!

I modified an old school deck and a pool deck and mounted them on Onewheels. The pool deck is 11.25" x 34" the smaller one is 10" x 33". I used 1/4" neoprene underneath the boards and skid rails under the sides. I wanted the feel of a concave board front and back and on the sides. I'm not much of a wood worker - so I tried this and love the feel and control. One rides like a big power boat and the other (hoosier) rides like a jet ski.
11 x 34 deck / Vega
10 x 33 deck / Hoosier

@FutureBoy Great job!!!
-
@FutureBoy What happened to your previous footpads?
-
how did you transfer the sensor stuff?..no troubles with the sensor??
-
damn I really want the Hoosier tire! I just don't want to modify the board at all.
-
@FutureBoy thats so sick! I was thinking of doing something similar. How did you keep the waterproof aspect going under the deck? I'd imagine the concave brought up the edges a bit.
-
@Snurfer Thanks. The neoprene is adhesive backed and like a wetsuit. I rode in the rain, got lots of water and worm guts all over the board - brushed it off no problems.
-
@J-Glide Thanks. I'm going to upgrade my V2... if I ever get it. I'd really like to have other OWers try out these boards to see what they think.
-
@FutureBoy Thanks for the update. Would you mine sharing the link to where you purchased the neoprene?
I was thinking of shaping and vacuum pressing my own shape using Roarocket:
I was stressing about having to make it perfectly flat across the rails, to keep the waterproof aspect, which would have hurt the concave aspect, so your solution is on point!
-
@Snurfer Most decks are flat between the truck mounts. You can search SoCal skateboards website for decks 10"+ Pool decks work best width wise. I used standard 1"-1.25" skateboard hardware screws to mount the board where the fenders would mount and the holes next to those. Hand tighten - you don't want to strip the holes. Use a cardboard template to make sure the main hole clears the tire all around.
I got the neoprene on Amazon - search for 1/4" adhesive neoprene. I just made a small 'X' cut in the neoprene and pushed the sensor plug through it and connected it from the plastic panel underneath the ow. I did route a slot similar to the existing footpads for the sensor wire under the new deck. Make sure you test it before and after you cover it with grip tape.
Hope that helps :)

@Snurfer I used their products to make new footpads before. As someone with zero experience laminating, it was harder than the site made it out to be, and my finished product ended up warping after a few months, probably due to my lack of experience, just my 0.02$. The color options are interesting though, someday I'd like to try again and build multi-colored footpads for my V2
