Not a Launcher.... But Cool Nonetheless!
This is what I've been doing over the weekend! It was raining and ugly, so I stayed inside and made this:
- Attachments
-
- A mini-board! It's almost 20" long, made from 3/8" solid ABS sheet. This shot only really shows the grip tape and red paint.
-
- The tail's a bit high, the wheels aren't very red or clear in the picture, but who cares.
You can also see the 1/2" risers I put on.
-
- The bottom of the board, painted with a couple coats of blue, then random black and red stripes. The ABS was very flexible so I made a transbeam from brass, felt, and oak.
-
- This thing looks very bad ass and you know it!
that is pretty cool. can you ride it like a normal board? where did you get the ABS sheet?
"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

Nice job, looks good. Did you bend the ABS sheet or cut and glue it for the angled part?

It's just like a normal board; just smaller. I can fit like 1 1/2 of my feet on it, but it's still fine. I got the ABS sheet from Tap Plastics. They're all over California, check their website.hi wrote:that is pretty cool. can you ride it like a normal board? where did you get the ABS sheet?

About 3/4," if that counts! I started skating like a week and a half ago (don't worry, I'm not some lame ass punk rock skater kid) and my friends are sick of lending me their boards.iPaintball wrote:Sweet! Can you ollie on it?
