Zorg quad skates V1

• V1 version:

I now use the V2 version and a V3 version is on the rails, but as they will have the same shape as the V1, I though it's interesting to post here the plan of my first quad skates V1 using skateboard trucks (french size42=US 8 ‘’)



I initially made them for medium/big ramps and grinding/sliding possibilities:

* Low profile Venture trucks (13cm)
* Sector 9 wheels 59mm 88a
* Plates: 6mm thick aluminium plate with U section aluminium stringers
* Wood grind plate: easier to grind for finding the good dimensions
* Inexpensive hockey boots from inline skates: could be more confortable.

Pro: Fast and grippy on wood and masonnite ramps. Side stance eagle grinds are cool Impossible to break, with standard skate parts if ever....

Cons: 4.5kg both….. with the stringers, the main plate could be thinner

• Adjustements of V1:

-grind plate aligned with truks, shaped with curve. Teflon plates added, slides are better, but on hot coping they stick

- wheels: Powell Bowl bomber 64mm, 95A for unperfect ramps or with wax...
Powell Bowl bomber 64mm, la Park Formula (PF) for perfect surface with no wax!!!
- bearings: Powell reds
