@ricardillosk8 thank you! go for it i was riding a pintail for a while. no the trucks are pretty small but i would recommend 180s for any board
-
mm ari koivunen from finland ? sick board man , im making a pintail to start,,, what size are those trucks by the way 180′s ??
-
@MrKepes hey dude thanks for the feedback. the part of the board thats 8 inches is the widest part of the board (the middle section). the parts by the trucks are 5inches wide and 7ish inches long. i made it that size because my trucks are pretty wide but you can always eye-ball it for your trucks. After you cut the shape out and feel like there will be wheel bite still just and riser pads.

Hey man thanks for great video . Im interested in making one of these, just wondering how long is the part of the board that is 8inches wide? And how long and wide should I do the part where the truck goes so I don’t get wheel bite?
-
@691129005 it prob will be a little too thin. it depends on how much you weigh, anything over 150ish pounds is prob to heavy for a that thin of a board thats 40 inches.
-
im making a board atm im using 2- 1/4 inch ply on a 40 inch long board do u think that is to thin?
-
@TheSoccerDawg11 i made them myself out of construction paper
-
where did you get those stencils
-
@5firestars you can put fiber glass on it if you want. you put it on the side that you stand on and put it on after you cut the shape out
-
@thevolpstar18 do u put fiberglass on top and bottom or just the side that you will be standing on
-
@ambersparks123 not on this one. but you can if you want. apply the resin and fiberglass after you press the board and cut it out
-
no fiberglass?if you were to use fiberglass, when would you have applied it to the board?
-
yeah really helpful
-

-
Ok thank for the help

@Thevolpstar18 where did you get your wood home depot??
-
@dailyshuffle one sheet of baltic birch 1/4 inch and one sheet of baltic birch 1/2. you can also use 3 sheets of 1/4 inch if you want, you can get more bends in you board if you use 3 sheets of 1/4in
-
