thats what they did with the old school 'PK ripper' bmxes they put helium in it and they were super light... but super weak..magical mangina said:
Loose weight at XT?

i stand corrected.GoGzS said:Zane_Scoots said:drilling a fuckload of holes like andrew did weakens the shiit out of it, your best bet is to cut the dropouts and brake, and drill some holes along the side, and maybe a plastic core bw.Steve444 said:Does anyone know how to loose unnecessary weight at the xt deck, without loosing strengh?
I�´ve just cut the brake and the end at the deck, but it weights to much...
Sorry for mistakes
Drilling holes along the side makes the deck weaker than drilling holes on the top...
Learn to physics, it's not hard...you want solid walls on the sides, couse that's what's absorbing forces
when you land...not the top plate where you stand...
And seriously my scooter is atm 5.2 kg or 11.4 pounds, and I don't think it's heavy...
It's a XT with a striker fork and Wee v2 bars...tank but rock solid...man up...couse, if it's too heavy, you're too weak..

Drilling holes on top like Andrew did didn't really weaken the deck noticable...so he lost weight without loosing strenght...
On the other side drilling holes on the side of the deck would be the most retarded thing you could possibly do, it would devastate the deck...becaouse the side walls are the ones absorbing your weight and impact forces while landing...
So your statements "and drill some holes along the side" and "drilling a fuckload of holes like andrew did weakens the shiit out of it" are irrelevant...becaouse, if you tought just a second about it, and wondered why the weakest spot on a razor are the dropouts (hint: they mostly break at the brake hole) you would have realised that drilling holes on the side is retarded, and drilling on top is actually a good way to loos weight while maintaining strenght...
And let's face it, would Andrew, with such an experiance in prototyping and building scooter parts go with a drill on the XT and blow holes in it for pure lulz and cool looks? Or was it well tought out and planned weight loss without compromising strenght? I think it was the second one...cheers...
Too long didn't read: Don't drill holes on the side...
