The "Good Idea" Thread

Bumping this.

Aluminum crow style bars, I'm sure it's been suggested but why doesn't a company make a pair?

I dont see the point in doing this?

For weight, just like any other alu bar.

Ehh don't be a weight freak lol you're riding a mgp for christ sake ahahaha. And they'd only work with ics or big size proto scs. Sooo dad be lame

Well, that's part of it. A lot of it is because plastic cores are injection molded, allowing them to create underdrafts and other intereference fits for a stronger bond.

it's not an awful idea, you just need to screw in the plastic core rather than bonding with adhesive. but if you're casting the plastic wheel, you might as well cast the whole wheel, no?

Yeah, i suppose so.

Good idea perhaps?

Why is that a good idea exactly? You don't need to be a weight freak. Its a damn ultra pro it weighs two pounds!

 

[96kde1]

well i had it just sitting around in my garage actually along with another ultra pro deck and an old bolted pro deck. And my dad is a machinest so i just wanted to experiment with it and see how it looks and stuff. haha and the ultra pro deck weighs 2.75 pounds stock. this one weighs just over 2 pounds! and it looks pretty sick too.

bump, carbon titanium pegs?

Why does every "good idea" you have involve using pointlessly expensive materials to make parts that are already perfectly strong and light?

 

[Tom Cirbee]

Companies should adapt more TDI-based decks.

Torn oversized bars that are HIC compatible. Please

 

[Riley Hughes]

it's seriously not feasible, trust me.
1. alum bars with a slit aren't meant for people who are doing huge things. great for beginners, but scs is really the way to go for pros.
2. no clamps fit it, i'd have to make a new clamp and sell it with the bars. that would be sooo much money for a pair, like $130 a bar if you're lucky.
3. the bars would be hugeee!
4. scs is better anyway.

 

[Bear Grylls]

Guess I will keep dreaming. Hahaha

 

[Riley Hughes]

or get an scs
we'll eventually be making chromo hic bars.

 

[Bear Grylls]

I had one for like a year haha
And I shall wait

how come no one dehubs plastic cores?

Because urethane is molded um like over the core. Pics in a sec

see the plastic inside the urethane?

Deck with slight lengthwise concave, making it easier to control boardslides. Also, the arch naturally gives strength from downward impacts, because it distributes weight to the wheels, preventing bananaing.

Also, more sig wheels. Skaters go through decks the most often, so companies make the most sig decks. Riders go through wheels the most, so sig wheels make sense.

dude!!!!!
