Infinite Combo Longboard
The Downhill Machine isn’t your conventional longboard. With the adjustability of a race car packed into a skate, the DM was made for speed. Each of the deck-mounted aerospace grade aluminum trucks can be fine-tuned independently so adjusting the width, angle, wheelbase, ground clearance, lift, and downforce are all possible without the need for multiple decks, trucks, and risers of conventional skates. Whether the user chooses to ride a drop deck, top mount, drop trough, or evo setup, one thing is sure- they’ll be riding a mean downhill machine.
Specs:
Truck width: 190 – 215
Ground clearance: 20-90mm
Truck angle: 0 – 90 degrees
Deck: 800 x 255 mm – birch & airex core, vacuum laminated with carbon fiber & epoxy resin
Longitudinal flex: very little
Torsional flex: none
Wheelbase: variable
Designer: Nuno Pereira for Powa

is it fot sale yet ?
GiMo says
I don't think it's such a good idea to mix carbon fibres and metals… (galvanic corrosion anyone?)
Mike Barnard says
Excellent point. Catastrophic failure of your front truck mount at speed would be… unpleasant. It isn't thin-skin aluminum tubing as is found on airframes and bicycles, so it would be interesting to know the extent to which it degraded over what period of time.
(I do think the board itself is dead sexy.)
Cheers,
Mike

Yes its a good idea to mix carbon fibre with metals, you see it all the time in several aplications. motogp, f1, road cars, road bikes, bycicles etc etc In fact, when you need precision in a carbon fibre part you add a metal insert. No issues on galvanic corrosion.

Oh my gosh yes! This is so awesome!

I'm an aspiring engineer an was wondering if i have your permission to recreate this design as a class project if so could you provide any tips as far as if i need to make or purchase custom parts and variable materials or if you wish to sell the board
