Forked Drop-Down Longboard

This sectional drop-down Longboard design is based on the concept I’ve described in the article http://www.townscooter.com/p/forked-drop-down-longboard.html.
It is a drop-down longboard that can be made without veneer pressing. You only need to cut parts using CNC router or laser cutter or even electric jigsaw and then assemble them.
It’s a bit similar to my another design – Combined drop-down longboard (http://www.townscooter.com/p/combined-layered-drop-down-lonboard.html). The forked longboard is more durable but it can be made with wide trucks only (>=180mm).

Materials

I recommend the Baltic birch plywood to make this longboard. Nose and Tail parts can be made of 9 ply (12mm) plywood. The main platform should be made of 11 ply (15mm) plywood for a 70-110 kg rider or 9 ply (12mm) plywood for a less than 70 kg rider.
The OSB prototype shown on photos was made just to proof of the concept http://www.townscooter.com/2016/08/forked-drop-down-longbo
