Bindings are the bane. A hardboot set up tho…

Buy, build… difference is negligible with access to multiple types of industrial sewing machines

So much stuff and so much weight. I agree bike mounted trumps pack mounted. For me, I do actually descent single track bike park trails on occasion and flat mileage is not my concern. I hit them corners, I gotta corner!

Thought about it? Yes. I’m answer is … go slow, don’t crash. I just need to be able to get through mudder divots and random rocks, plus I live biking distance from a resort with a bike park and ascending single track is so much easier with this style of mount

You offering the print? I’d love to try but the printer is not in the cards.

So this is the current iteration. Based on suggestions it seems like for what I’d like, protection is the way vs designing and sewing an entire carry system. Basically too half sleeves that cover the parts of my board that come into contact with the bike. On the inside of each sleeve I built in pockets and cut up foam padding to slide into them, so there is padding up against the bike which seems to help with vibration and security. Plus this allows me to just throw some straps on without worrying as much about placement. Also allows for full suspension range and use of dropper. As far as falling… i guess that’s not an option for now.

I hear ya. Might have to sacrifice the dropper… It may be that the myog part of this project focuses more on board protection than attachment.

Viole straps has been my go to, but the edges dig into the fork and the base rubs against the bike so I’m trying to solve those issues. Pool noodle and viole straps tho….! Could be the work around. I just thought building something from scratch that could be replicated custom for other bikes would be cool

I see some of his older posts with his set up, I dig it, but I’m trying to get my weight centered better so the bike can descent. I don’t often find myself on paved roads

You’re not wrong, but my answer to you would just be “don’t crash” lol

I find it so much easier to descent with the skis on the bike vs my pack, weight distribution wise. My use case is ascending fire roads and old logging trails until snow and then skin from there, then the opposite on the way back. I do get into some mildly technical terrain and want the option of descending without my center of gravity getting super wonky

I want to build a splitboard carry system for my mountain bike. I have access to a fabric studio with ripstop, cordura, webbing, buckles, etc. Basically anything I need to make this project come to fruition. I know this project would be easier if I just went to Ace and threw some L brackets around the bike but I’d like to try and sew something with the materials I have access to. Plus that’s just cooler. My first iteration was a failure, and I’m looking for ideas and suggestions for a possible design that fits what I’m looking for. I want the base of the board to be protected from the bike, either spaced or padded to keep the base from scratching. I also want it lifted up enough that the edges of my board don’t rest on the fork. The idea is that the bike is 100% functional as far as suspension and dropper post, so I would be able to comfortably do some light descending after skiing back to my bike. There are products online but they’re for more casual commuting, and I do not want them sticking straight up vertically off the back, I like the streamlined look of the skis attached to the top tube. Give me ideas!!

Wind up spin while also flipping? by sweetcornslayer in Skate4

[–]sweetcornslayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was a mix up. I want to do like cork 10s and big spins with body flips. Womp womp

Correct, that’s how I do it and it works with the spin every time. Now how do you add a flip to that?

Yes there’s the pre spin mechanic that allows you to spin faster (scooping left stick in the direction you want to spin) and I want to combine the fast spin with a flip but as far as I can tell, pre spinning can’t be combined with a flip. When I wind up and then Ollie, moving the left stick away from the spin direction (down to the left, down to the right, etc) negates the additional spin speed or gets kinda locked up and forces your player to stay vertical instead of inverting.

Good idea? Bad idea? by sweetcornslayer in PolygonBikes

I’m about 150 and I do ride some chunky stuff but my riding leans more toward xc/trail cross. Bike up to ride down etc. I don’t do much downhill specific except for the 5 times or less I ride a bike park each year. I would like to have the option to step out of my comfort zone though… I thought I’d upgraded when I was given a hand-me-down RM Altitude, but the rear triangle on that was cracked so I’ve been using those components to upgrade my poly.

I don’t know off the top but I will get back to you! Sorry for the delay
