So someone gave me a kids size snowboard…
I was thinking of chopping it down into a longboard
Good idea…bad idea?
Anyone ever try it?

do it! we need more unique builds
I need a shape …
You can ask this guy for tips
Hahaha…maybe I should make a board out of wine bottles lol
build it out of grass
Ok this guy is to much, seems to be a happy fellow. 4 trucks, 6 wheels.
Getting some inspiration @Michaelinvegas ?
doo it! where is whitepony? he’ll tell you not to do it because its not the proper intended function of this device.
Well I’m planning to cut it down to a shorter size to help reduce the sag … Not sure how short it needs to be so I don’t have worry abt the enclosure scrapping the ground…
So I’m guessing it will need to be short or I need to add a support to give it some stiffness
This is the a snowboard that someone cut … I’ll need to make it this shape to avoid cutting out wheel wells like the dude above in the video
haha, actually I love the videos - some quirky people on this earth
@Michaelinvegas Haha, great minds think alike. I’ve been toying with this idea off and on for about a month or two, but haven’t decided whether it’s worth the trouble. I didn’t even think about the kids board. You could always put the enclosure on top…
I made a longboard out of a winterstick snowboard about 15 years ago. It’s still going strong, I cut it into a long oval shape with a jigsaw. Very flexy though for an electric build.
Man that guys is unique…
Mine is 45 inches nose to tail. I’m probably 200lbs and is a nice cruiser board but certainly too flexible for a lectric deck.
If I remember rightly the insert width was perfect for drilling straight through to put the first two bolts in.@Michaelinvegas Get some square steel tubing from the hardware store and bolt it to the board along the bottom edges like a grab rail.
Good idea!!!
