yea oops, i meant money*, not motivation. I'm the one who has no motivation to finally get my design ready even though i've given it to the company, but they don't have enough free time till christmas to make my project.

IMO original As and Pro models are perfect all though the only thing i would change is the headset, i would weld it straight down at a 90 degree angle with the deck and not slightly angled. and i would have the handlebars all welded.

I just finished working out some more plans for a deck. I'm gonna give credit to Pete for the pipe idea. The reasons these designs were made these ways were because of:

1. STRENGTH STRENGTH STRENGTH!!! (I tried to avoid any week spot. But please point them out if you see them. It's all welded too)

2. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!! (I tried to avoid having to cast any of the parts so they would all be made out of premade/easy-to-find materials)

3. QUALITY/EASE OF USE!!! (Easy grinds!!! All you have to do it wax your grinding platform)

im not an expert or anything. but one thing i think could help is a piece of box tubing between the upper and lower deck. if it were attached to the headtube and the 2 pipes running along the sides i think it would really improve the strength of the headtube,

not to critisize or anything but the metal in the front needs to change by change i mean it needs to be stronger it seems like the top metal what just rip off. i love the hole idea but are the headtubes going to be interchangable? because thatwould be sick. i lovetht idea so much.

Wouldnt the Deck Bend in?
Or be bendy?
U should put an extra 2 bars connecting 2 the main 2 long bars.

That thing will be insanely high off the ground because of that short neck. The drawing lacks ALOT of detail. Especially on the brake and head areas. How do you plan on attaching the neck? that "headtube anchoring block" looks like you couldnt think of a good way so you just drew a big block and called it good.

I have made several decks out of tubing and i can say that tubing for decks is not so great. If anything use square tubing.

I have a scooter with a deck just like that. Tubes on the side, with a metal plate thing on the top and bottom. Its really big and really nice for grinding.

I rekkon it would be cool if you could have like, interchangeable grind plates and you can just slide them in or whatever

Headtube is way low.
Headtube block is pointlessly heavy.
Headtube block will destroy the two deck plates on and under it.
FLAT grindplates are not better since the force of friction is too big because of the flat surface so that means flat grindplates are slower.
