 |

this summer I was thinking about perhaps building a bilevel. I would build the bottom deck, then maybe try to stick a skateboard deck on top. the bottom deck would be catered to the size of the deck. has anyone ever tried this before? I think I may have seen a post about this in another thread.....anyways, any help would be appreciated.

| it would be pretty unstable with a skateboard deck and it would be hella hard to do shovits because the surface area would be so small compared to the much larger bottom deck |

yeah it would probably be impractical.... but it would be fun just to mess around on to see if it would work. I built a board for a science fair project in november and it wasn't that hard and was fun. lol it would be interesting at least.....

| Gnarly Dancer 42, you seemed uncomfortable on the thing. i'm guessing it had a weird feel to it. |
