I´s not super new in terms of shape and look but really different from the concept. [EDIT (especially for Donald)] different from what I did before![/EDIT]
It´s "core" consists of a single ply ash veneer (1.25 mm) and a 6mm Airex foamcore.
I wanted to build a deck that has the vibration dampening, flex and rebound (a little bit faster rebound) of our ashcore in combination with the lightness and fast response of our pure foamcore decks.
If I succeeded I´ll see when I have ridden the deck. (It´s raining hard at the moment but I´m quite optimistic so far.)
84cm x 21.5cm x 9mm / 33" x 8.5" X 0.35"
With 9mm overall thickness it´s now as thin as our ash-veneer decks.
Wheelbases (truckbases / inner holes): 54,5 / 56,5 / 58,5 cm (21.5"/22.25"/23") good for a wide range of hybrid and GS courses.
It weighs exactly 700g / 1.54 lb (yeah that´s light but 100-150g more than our pure foam decks).
I have just mounted it but not ridden it yet.
It has a nice flex but it eventually might need more torsion-control/-stiffness.
It´s flat when I´m standing on it and flexes down about 1-1.5" when "pumping" it while standing.
I might use triax-glass on the bottom as well. I have to ride this first and then decide.
I have not yet gripped it and am thinking about using bigger gritted sand and epoxy as a clear grip to preserve the wood look of the top.
Any advice/suggestions on what kind of sand/grit to use?
(and I REALLY want it grippy (like Edger) but don´t want to cut my fingers, so no glass splinters.)
People will go "WHA...?" when they see you riding and just see the "wood" and the 2mm edge.
Ash-veneer below triax glass.
Note the "stretch-cuts" I made to prevent tearing of the veneer when bent in the cambered and concave mold.
