Spines are probably offer the the most diverse selection of trucks for a transition obstacle
yeah some kind of street spine would be sick. Also a small mellow bank-to-curb type box would be a good one. Adding a draft/incline to the vertical part of any boxes you build will add wallie or slappy options to the obstacles too.
It’s too easy to fuck up a spine and have something that’s less useful than a QP the same size. I’ve skated plenty and unless you do a decent “double barrel” coping (2-2.5” steel, no gap) it becomes a battle to do simple stuff.
I haven’t built this but I’ve imagined a Swiss Army Funbox that I think might be fun:
Four sides, North, South, East, West - East and West are longer than N+S.
North is a straight slope with Euro gap to platform.
East is a long quarterpipe with coping.
South is a narrower quarterpipe with rail in the middle, perhaps no coping.
West is either (depending on overall height) a ledge that is half the size of the box or 3 steps.
Someone build a proof of concept and let us know how it goes!
