    Talking Whoa, I made me a speedboard

    I finally got around to making my press to make my speedboard. it is made from 5 sheets of 1/8" BB and is a tank. It is about 41" long and 9.6" wide tapered down to 8.5" with a 33" wheelbase.

    Right now its set up with some old kryptos and Force c7s, but eventually I think i'm gonna try running the 70mm Earthwing Superballs and see how they handle downhill.

    Is there a reason for the uneven concave, or just a press error? Nice build though

    Yeah, it was my first time using this new press and I just didn't line it up in the middle. Maybe uneven concave will be the newest craze.

    In that case, Rayne might get more sales!

    That looks great! Love the graphics. Very simplistic and great composition.
    Chances of wheelbite on wheels larger than 76mm and up?

    How stiff is it?

    I have uneven concave on purpose, and I love it. Grip of deep concave, comfort of shallow.

    I tried out my Gumballs on it and it bit pretty badly. It is completely stiff. Even when I jump up and down on it, I don't think it flexes at all. (I weigh 155 lbs).

    I can still make the cutouts larger, but i don't want to run larger than a 70mm wheel. I might add some wheelwells like the hellcat has though.
