Indoor practice?

So I spent most of my summer on Lake James in North Carolina riding atleast 4 times a week. Now I am back home with no way to ride for about another month. Sad

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way for me to practice and keep with my tricks without riding or a trampoline. I've heard of things you attach in the place of fins that makes it feel like you are riding, but I don't know what they are called or where to find them...

Can anybody help me out?

gregbockhold, Yep. Just a skateboard deck with no trucks on the carpet. You can use trucks but they will probably get your carpet all dirty.

No one likes a dirty carpet Razz

I made a balance board setup with a 2 liter filled with water and an old skateboard deck and it's the most unstable freakin' thing I've ever tried to ride. I know a guy that made one out of PVC with caps on each end it was 2 feet long and the i/d was 4 inches. He filled it 3/4 of the way full with sand and then wrapped it in duck tape and it worked pretty damn good and you could kinda use your wakeskate on it

I also made one with two liter bottle and skate deck. It worked fine for me.

Montgomery, i have used a wakeskate on my homemade indo board. Just get some like 3-4in pvc tubeing(make sure it wont flew when you stand on it) and you have urself a indo board without the huge dent in the pocket casue those things are expensive

I do the 2liter bottle indo board an it works great. You can use your wakeskate or skateboard deck. But the Skate board takes awhile to get use to.But you will be pulling shuvs an stuff in no time.
