How to make a shortboard awsome

[Ginjiroku]

Ok so I have this old element featherlight. I's an awsome board. Anyway I've been experimenting with it. I've put some longboard trucks and wheels on it. That didn't work because Even though It rode smooth I didn't have any extra risers and the truck had to be so thight and even then I couldn't do really hard turnes. So just the other day I put the small trucks and wheels on it. It was boring so today I got a fun idea. I took the top kingpin washer thing off and made the trucks really loose. I tuned it up and just got back from messing around in frond of my house with it. It was so cool. I first got the Idea when this kid at my school did it with a homemade dogtown inspired board. So I tried it on my shortboard. It's soo cool. It can carve so tight now and the small hard wheels make it
really easy to slide. It's so fun you don't even need a hill to carve and slide.

Good:
Super tight turning radius,
Easy slides,
Just plain fun.

Bad:
Is unstable unless your moving with two feet on the board,
Just because it's only stable while moving doesn't mean the faster you go the more stable it is.

drop the trucks through

Yea but then I'd have to cut the deck to avoid wheelbite. I like it how it is now.

I have an oldschool deck where the tail plastic slides open, I keep stash in there. Saved me on a number of occaisons....except when I try and stop by using the tail bone.
