Sneak peek
MD working out V4. Go Greene!
Version 3 light tests
This is a map I've been using to note ideal boarding locations.
So, I built up a new version yesterday. It is working with the same deck material as the other versions, but it is cut and mounted to a skateboard deck.
The countersunk ss bolts allow total contact with the ground. I went with rounded nuts as they seemed best for “comfort.”
Getting a decent throw is tough as v4 lacks the air resistance of v2 & 3. For me, mounting the board at fast throws proved difficult due to the size. I don’t skate board so it may be better suited for others.
Version 4: slippery and small rides ok, but speed is limited to the riders aim on mount. max. 3-4 car length ride
