Third peg on one side? Screenys of it inside~

[William Biedrzycki]

I was looking around for bolts and I found this really small wrench socket and I had an idea.

On the Pro model on the sides of the deck there's a few bolts that hold the extra plates near the front I took one of the bolts out and drove a socket inbetween it, the bolt wasnt long enough so I replaced it with a bolt from some old skateboard trucks, it fit perfectly. The socket sticks out about 1 1/2 inches and I tried it out and it helps alot with 50-50's. I always had a problem with pegs in the front being made out of bearrings because it was always about 1/2 inch too high to catch smoothly with the back bolt, so ussually I was grinding more on the deck than I was on the peg.

Here's a picture of it

I like the idea the only problem I see may happen is the bolt not being strong enough and snapping out. Other than that, it's really usefull for 50-50's.

new mod.

 

[jakob-b]

i think thats dumb sorry like why would u want that

 

[young08]

if ur gunna have 3 pegs, have 1 on back and 2 on the front ( 1 on each side!) but propper pegs, i love the setup of it.

 

[Storer]

put 2 on one side and one on the other side for icepicks.

 

[jeff26]

thats a pretty good idea... its gotta be way better for 50-50s

 

[loganhoe]

acutally i wonder if taking those 4 bolts out and replacing them with some thing stronger would do anything? (durability wise)

 

[Steezeman]

I'd think if you're going to do that put a bigger bolt that goes all the way through, because if I remember right they're pretty small and they'll either break or strip out pretty quick.

Because with pegs made out of bearrings the front peg hangs higher than the back peg so it doesnt line up properly. With stock forks you'd have to have something slightly thicker than a bearring that you can use for a peg otherwise it wont line up properly on stalls/grinds. However with this mod you don't have to worry about that.

I tried this on my halfpipe today my 50-50's were solid and smooth as hell.

Edit: damn you Alex you post too fast I replaced the bolt with a skateboard truck bolt which is roughly 2 and a 1/2 inches long so it fits in there pretty gewd.

 

[lloyd]

thats seems usefull. might do it.

 

[davidross]

you should put 2 extra pegs on each side like one where its already at and another where the break bolt is that would make 50-50s so easy

I don't know if its a good or bad. I don't see any benifits or reason to make more though.

Just 2 pegs front and beg axels for me is fine. I'm about to take them off though. Makes me fall when i'm riding bowls and all.

 

[Pete Pachota]

Lol, a peg for dibblepicks, awesome. Post some footage of grinds on those.

keeps you twice as ballanced on 50-50's.

 

[gorrilaman]

Nah , they won't give you more balance for sure.

 

[Matt Dibble]

I dont like using pegs... it makes me feel like im cheating or something lol. I have used them before and they are fun... just cant get over the feeling im "cheating" lol

 

[brandon kilbury]

Nah , they won't give you more balance for sure.

how do you figure? i know what hes talking about where the front peg on a fork is higher, and pointless if you plan on doing 50 50's with them, this is a great idea, its somewhere that wont hit your leg or affect the feeling of any tricks, and it would definitely help 50 50's good idea will

and to matt: i love pegs, but i do kind of feel like im cheating sometimes, liek with feebles or something haha. icepicks are a lot of fun though

yea same here, cause if you rally wanna do icepicks and stuff you can without pegs.

 

[gorrilaman]

To Brandon , I don't know. Maybe you are right. No point in argueing. If I think it is good , I do it if not just don't. Lol.
