i had an idea while looking at an old skateboard. i had an idea of making a ~37 inch flat deck and bolt the old skate deck to it. at 37 inches there is only 3 inches past the tip and tail of the skateboard. like a bi-level with an actual skateboard for the top deck. tell me what you think...

i made aluminum mounts already, 1/8 inch thick. i guess if it doesnt work ill have a flat deck still.

if i had my camera i would record what i just did. i just got in my pool and got pulled up with a fourwheeler. sat on the diving board a few times and started that way with no problems. only went 8 feet then had to bail but it was fun:D

start by standing on the board on the divingboard in the boardslide postion, then get pulled and do shuvs off.

urinal mint, you could turn out like my dad.

that's from a 4 wheeler wreck but the point is that it could happen. oh yeah, you can't see his eye but his eyelid is all torn to pieces

the skate board deck is really thick and not flexible. so you wont be getting the pop of the bilevel, but the concave should be cool. do it, post results!

i moved the "risers" i alot. i didnt use the truck holes, so it will pop like the bi-level i think. its flexes a lot.

can you get us a pic of the beast? Very Happy

last time I went mad professor like that it was with the biteg lol Razz

didn't work out tho Confused

good luck! would love to see how this works out ^^

I seem to remember that you could get skate decks that are somewhat larger, I think ramp skates are larger, and they are probably making some even larger ones for big guys...

humm i'll have a look on the net and see what I can find Wink

I tried that a year ago but it was with a home made board with to small rocker so the nose went under all the time but with a real wakeskate and a big deck it would work pretty good because the pop was better than it used to be Smile
