Chris. more questions, 1) When and where can I buy Fyre trucks. 2) Did you ever skate Londons' Southbank in the late 70's? I seem to remember a Chapstick being stolen one day from a pro, during a break from a demo, it was recovered by a friend of mine, who i think was the original thief btw, but just knew he'd never get away with it!!!

Chris,
I'm just wondering if you could possibly expand on this post.

looking at all of the pictures it seems like all of the rider-weight load is put directly onto the spherical bearings and the two queen pins (correct terminology?)

even if the ride doesn't feel like it rides really harsh, are the "queenpins" in fact subject to significant stress? if so, what is the risk of either of them breaking?

Consider the following:

1. There are two axle tips coming out of a cast aluminum hanger on 99% of every skateboard truck on the planet and each is made of relatively soft steel and is 5/16" in diameter.

2. There are two pivot pins coming out of a billet aluminum baseplate on every Fyre Truck and each is made out of a super strong steel material and is 5/16" in diameter.

In other words, skateboard trucks are already using 5/16" steel threaded studs without any structural problems and so no, the pivot pins are very strong and can handle the loads well.

Chris, i have a question. Do you have any diagrams on how Fyres work?

The molds are done and Altered Electric Skateboards will be placing an initial order in about a month and with 30 day lead times it could be as early as the new year ...

I have diagrams and pictures of Fyre Trucks but nothing yet that really explains how they work. I'll see if can figure out how to do a Solidworks Animation and/or make a little YouTube video that shows how the truck steers and how the floating kingpin functions ... "in all my spare time"

Reflex grip more, nothing wrong with the current ones.

Just speculating, but I doubt we'll see more reflys, I know Dubes, Zak and K-Rimes isn't fans of them.

Reflys are great, actually. Great slide, more durable. As long as the price was reasonable, they'd be great all-around wheels.

None of em really ride regular flywheels much regardless.
