What you need is two boards stacked with springs in between. This way they can't just bend to the sides. You'll get more consistent compression of the springs.

Great idea Aaron. I think you need suspension springs. Like from a mountain bike. 2” coil

ACE is the OG always to get oddly specific things regarding hardware

Find some flat brackets to attach the front, middle, and rear springs together. That way when the springs are compressed the tension from the bracket will stop the springs from collapsing. Look up parallel combination of coil springs for a visual example. Also you should get some solid wood wheels and see if you can friction start them on fire while power sliding.

"Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks " They really are living up to their slogan.

"Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks!" I have seen enough of those ads to remember it by heart

What you need to do to limit the sideways movement is make a pogo-stick type of system with two reciprocating poles that can slide up and down without being able to bend sideways. Then, the springs would be able to compress and decompress, but they wouldnt be able to go sideways except for a little bit. Then, you can adust the tolerance for sideways movement by increasing/decreasing the diameter of the reciprocating support poles and/or the springs. The more space between the support poles and the springs you have, the more sideways movement you will get. Then just make 4 or 6 of them or however many you need to make it work and it's done. Basically just a skateboard deck with very short pogo sticks for legs.

I continue to be amazed at how many things can be kickflipped

I wish you guys could do more with rollarskates and stuff. Those soapshoes seemed awesome! add some heelies and you got yourself a footsides skateboard

You guys definitely should play "chop shop" with a Mullen Uber Light. I'd love to see how a professional board holds up in the game

You should try puttingt two skateboard trucks on a bucket and put another two skateboard trucks on another bucket and use them like roller skates just without the shoe part

Love seeing the old hopdie. Nostalgic

"Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks." That's the jingle!

Watching you guys hunt down & buy the hardware is just as entertaining as watching the final product.

The sound of the springs in the slo mo shots is worth the price of admission.

"Lemoo Finnman" 🤣

Cool video and so cool that it worked 😎👌 love seeing AK in the videos regularly, reminds me of the old braille days 👏 love braille 😎 ♥️ is rikki alright, been missing him. Hope everyone is well.

you should get something with a telescope functionality that gets pushed in with every bounce, to put on the inside of every single spring. It should automatically come back up with the springs to keep them from going off to the sides. This way they will maintain their springinesss much more :D

I feel like if Gabe was there he would say, "After building that Aaron it looks like you have a little, Spring, in your step" 😂

Y'all should put a smaller diameter spring inside the main spring to provide extra Force as well as potentially acting like a spine for the larger diameter spring. I'm trying to think of a vertebra that would give you the left to right stability but because it also has to compact, that makes it difficult because a true vertebra would have to shoot up through the deck and through your feet. That's why I'm thinking and inner spring would be your best bet

so.. robbie needs to be in more videos. dude is just too chill not to love seeing.

I'll just keep saying it. I want to see yall kickflip a kayak!

go to the junk yard and get some springs from a car suspension and then try it with that same concept you got going on right there. i can guarantee the springs wont bend back like they did here

Get larger diameter springs so that they cover a larger surface area and if the metal of the spring itself being a thicker gauge metal and I believe this could become a legit street skating invention. And like if there was a square plate welded to the bottom of the spring. I believe that would help to keep the springs straighter up and down when you go to pop

this video really put a spring in my step

this is crazy and fun skateboard idea Braille

when AK landed the lazer flip i yelled out the exact thing “NOOO STOPPP” 😂😂❤❤

I think just two really wide springs of that thickness would work

Wow. Gotta love ace hardware!

Idea time - Skateboard suspension: Longer hardware, with [Truck -Spring - Deck] to give you a little extra spring when popping and landing.

I'd love to see this build rebuild with some stronger springs to see how it would work

Try using springs that are cone shaped. Attach the bigger end to the board. Maybe use a stronger spring, six to eight inches, also figure out different amounts and patterns of springs to attach. Almost like a pogo-board...

this build is sick!

Such a satisfying sounding board

I love this series

Game of anything goes SKATE with shorter and thicker springs with shorter hardware and a heavy duty washer through the center of the spring. No bendy bend and you could probably get away with just 4 springs. Although 4 springs next to each other at the back of the tail for crazy pop could be cool too.

I think a sort of Leaf Spring would be an interesting idea to try after this.

This right here is what I like to see.

I think the spring board would work better if the springs were maybe half as long, and you use twice as many. Maybe they would be more stable and actualy compress instead of just bending.

Ace is the place for the helpful hardware folks is the jingle

Since they tend to bend rather than compress, it could work if you made two "trucks" with 4 springs each. Shaping 2 springs in a V shape where the wheels would be. with a bar connecting the 4 like a truck.

when i was in highschool my senior drafting essay was about designing a new skateboard that had springs instead of bushings. and we built a prototype and nobody wanted to test it out because by the time we were done it had to be turned in but we realized it was basically a castration device at that point. lol.

You should see if industrial springs will work a lot better, since they would be a lot harder to have bend back

How about you guys split a deck then attach them together with springs? A great video idea 💡

*"Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks!"*

I tried to make my own moon boots when I was a kid just like this! Getting major nostalgia flashbacks

Build another but with lots of springs, then attach the bottom ends of the springs to the top of a different skateboard with trucks, wheels, etc. Like, a bunch of springs sandwiched between two decks with the bottom deck being a complete setup.

once again you guys SPRINGED into action with another amazing video!! lol keep up the great work and how about trying to make skating shoes with springs attached to em!

The consistency from this channel through out the YEARS is crazy 🔥 excited for the 2023 season of brail 🎬 and excited on the last video of 2022… I know it’s gonna be a banger 👀

loving the 510 sticker on that board

Aaron I love your energy 😂

Maybe pre bending the springs in your predmferred direction before you started using it might have helped the springs be more stable on the ground.

Aaron went brazy with that first try laser

This was sick!

You need to put some more Springs at your skate !!!!!!!!!!

Put the compression springs in between the board and normal skateboard trucks. use maybe 3 inch long springs. and maybe add like a rod to the middle of the springs so they dont bend as much if you are feeling fancy

Such a beautiful thing Yinz got here ! 🔥🤙

Need big thick springs with wheels so it rolls and bounces! Or maybe just put springs on the top and fasten a second board above the springs 👍🏼

Great video

Idk if I've ever seen Robby before, but I instantly like him lol

Careful AK you're not a SPRING Chicken anymore. Ha ha Goteeeem

Ace is the helpful place 👍👍

‘Ace is the place for the helpful hardware man 🎵 jingle

Maybe a stiff garage door spring would work , there way more thicker & put rubber end stops on them for grip .

Needed more springs and shorter springs. great vid!

could use wire like the do when they make box springs to keep them from spreading or tilting for beds also maybe bigger radius springs like the ones in a bed box spring

I liked the video at the laser flip

ACE, the helpful place!

The section they were in for the "secret video" idea was drills, circular saws & reciprocating saws; is the circular saw board making a comeback? 🤯 Put on your tinfoil hats, leave your ideas in a comment below and most importantly; go out and have fun on your skateboard today!

Anothing thing that might have helped would be if the springs had 1 singular meta plate that they would be connected to like an X or spider shaped plate to keep the springs compression to be linked more with one another.

i love Aroon happy face xD

Try the spring board again but use industrial springs or truck springs

Ace hardware is fire🔥

Somehow create a POGOSTICK skateboard. That would be wild. Love the vids keep it up!

that spring asmr🥴

Treflip on springs! Like some pro!

looks fun

Springs are found in the same aisle as gate latches and door knobs.

I think you were right about using shorter springs, if you would have used shorter springs it would have worked better.

ACE IS THE PLACE!!!!

I saw small metal rolling pins. Would make awesome trucks. Do it!!

You could probably find all sorts of car engine valve springs that may work, different lengths and diameters. And probably be stiff enough to put ones just where the wheels are and still pop off the tail.

clean kickflip

Do you need some sort of footings in between the springs and the board … Try putting two boards with the springs in the middle heavier duty springs

Yo braille team you gotta try skate a street sign board or a wet floor sign that'd be funny to watch also varial flip for The Gabe

6:20 Had me thinking my ringer was on 😅😂

Possibly a paddle skateboard like the ones like boat skateboards like it would have a paddle for wheels and a motor???

Use smaller springs next to the other springs as stabilizer !

The old Ace Hardware slogan or jingle was Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks

As someone who was a manager at Lowe's for many years. Always go to your local hardware store. They usually have everything the big box stores don't have.

You should go back to the store and get the small ones also . It probably would help the other Springs from bending so much

Aw man I need to see this with super wide short springs! You could get some serious hight I bet

Do you guys think you can review my local?! It’s in pa tho kinda far LMAO-

Why not use all those little springs you got down the middle as well like in your original plan? Or put the litle springs on the outside to add balance?

spring has sprung!

What if you put the springs on the screws between trucks and deck?

You need a large spring that wraps in a rectangular pattern starting on the inner perimeter of the bottom of the board coiling inward toward the center stopping at the very middle as a small square, but how can that be done????

Kick flip a car?? To easy kick flip a boat!! Lol great vid y'all thanks for the content

Ace is the place!

Great concept, keep experimenting. Maybe automotive springs, modified.
