Okay, so Ive finished my second version of a deck.It's not that heavy though, way lighter than my last one. Don't have the pics yet, I hope to take some but my camera is kind of broken. 22' by 4', consists of a wide c-shaped aluminium profile and two rectangular steel pipes, plus a b model foldy. No welding involved, was supposed to be held only by the folding mech screws, brake pin and the back wheel axle but it was necessary to bolt it together elsewhere. It ended up being not as good as I wished it to be because we lacked proper sized materials and it was being put together by my grandpa who's not a mechanical engineer. It's still good, maybe comparible to a reinforced Micro Speed scooter. What surprised me is that It wasn't significantly faster when whiping it around than my old one, prolly because of the same length. I believe Ill be doing doubles on flat on it soon, and there's one more thing Im sure about - unlike my old one this one IS frontscooterflipable.

Really nice man. i dont understand the bolting of the fork though. I remember someone explained it once but i dont get it.

The whole deck looks really strong. Good luck with it tailwhipping that 10 stair :)

This his correct.

And I don't think Ill try to whip that 10 soon, it prolly wouldn't be hard for me though. It's just about the will to go out there and do it, but my knee still hurts when dropping off something big (or landing the wrong way) after what happened when I bunnyhopped that once.

I was testing it on a 5 set today, I can catch dubwhips easily off it which was hard with the old scooter.
