NOT DJERBA'S! Custom Rojas Hangars on a Prototype Racing deck


  • I'll immediately address the elephant in the room: These are NOT DJERBA'S! They are custom Rojas Hangars, designed to interface with old Rojas Hybrid baseplates.

    Specs:

    Deck: Custom Prototype Racing. Max thinks it's an old Landyachtz Canyon Arrow, but he doesn't remember.

    Trucks: Rojas Hybrids, with custom-designed hangars, designed to interface with old Rojas Hybrid Baseplates and Aera 4140 Axles (+8MM). Trey Nasteff and I designed these ourselves, and worked with a local machine shop to have them CNC milled. They are SICK.

    • Hangars: 90mm wide, but ~109mm wide with the Aera axles installed. 9.5mm rake
    • Front Baseplate: 45° (standard), 3° wedge from Pat's Risers, so 48° total
    • Front Bushing: 86a Red, 11mm thick
    • Rear Baseplate: 30° (CNC-machined), 6° wedge from Pat's Risers, so 24° total
    • Rear Bushing: 93a Gray, 11mm thick

     

    Wheels: currently Cuei A1 79mm, 75a. But I'll skate whatever big chonky race wheels I can get my hands on.

    Bearings: Zealous, standard built-ins with metal ball-bearings. I am a ceramist, I wrote my Ph.D. dissertation on hot-pressing ceramics, and I have published scientific papers about technical ceramics: Andrew Schlup, Ph.D., Google Scholar. So naturally, I am biased in favor of ceramics. But, I still see no benefit to ceramic ball-bearings (at my skill level).

    Griptape: Gangster Grip

    Foot-Stop: Scythe T-Rex, v1., with a strip of footbrake-rubber attached via double-sided tape.

    Toe-Stop: a crappy old riser that I found in my skate-gear box. Apparently I had cut it in half and sanded it down into a wedge years ago, so it works pretty good for this purpose.

    Torque-Block: Prototype Shapes

    Hardware: lol, no idea



  • Diy roja hangers, very swaggy. 


  • Course cutout on the grip is dope


  • I bet you have to trim wheels that are too wide. Boom roasted


  • @Marshall Cook / Blank Wheel Co eyyy, guilty as charged. 


  • Were these at Dirt Farm this year? Swear i chatted briefly with somebody who had a set of these.


  • @Emmet Kabel they sure were!! Or at least the v1's were.
