Lowboard
This is a lowboard.
it is a skateboard, that is very low! It's been on my mind for age to make one, and now i have.
I recently made a longboard, and felt that I didnt really need my skateboard anymore, so I transformed it into the newly finished lowboard.
The trucks are mounted on top of the deck, and the wheels then cut through the deck to be able to run on the floor.
the bolts were very hard to find and as I couldn't find them the right length and small diameter, but eventually I bought slightly larger bolts and just drilled the holes bigger.
The trucks are each held on with four bolts and four nuts.
i found that I needed to sand down the deck to make sure there was no grinding on the ground when riding it.
i have now found that when riding it doesn't grind, and it is very smooth to ride on a nice hill or flat ground.
i am very pleased with the outcome and really pleased with how it looks.
i hope you like it too, all comments are welcome,
thanks
