Dr D Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I cut a sheet of birch ply into 6" strips and laminated them together with titebond III I then cut the basic shape of the spar out with the laminations running vertically. I routed sanded shaped ettc and then fiberglassed a sheet of triaxial carbon snowboard fabirc into the top (see stripes) I inlayed aluminum plates for truck mounting and set it up with randalls I have an aluminum sheet seat pan in progress with a piece of tubing to be both handles and calf rest. screw in inserts in spar to mount seat pan and calf rest (see Pics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnasmo Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Dr. D, looks cool. Where to do ride it? Full leathers? DRedman and I just got a couple of Tierny Rides T-boards, and have been goofy around on long boards. You should come up to Whitefish and play with us!

Dr D Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 love to! I have been building long boards and luges all summer. I got run off my best hill with the fires. the talley lake road into marion is a 4 mile hill. 55 mph 3 inches off the chip seal is a wild ride:eplus2: full leathers and a motorcycle helmet for sure. I wrecked it once earlier in the summer and lost a chunk of my ass so leathers were suddenly a priority:lol: when are you guys riding?

johnasmo Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 We've just been goofing off near my house in the evenings. Just getting started on the longboard thing, really. Timing is everything, I have a business trip to Montreal next week, but maybe the week after? I just got the shiny bits out of my shoulder this week, so I probably should lie low for few days anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 sounds good! give me a day or two notice and I will buzz up after work. I just got into the longboard thing this yr as well. I hit some late night sessions in kalispell over the summer. I have a tierney but I find the darn thing next to impossible to stay on top of.
