the "copy" cat

sctr9er · 07-03-2009, 01:06 PM

well this is my fourth board i basically wanted a hell cat so i decided to build one
it is five layer of bb with a bitchload of concave. it makes my evo seem like it has bouncy flex i mean this #### is rock solid 0 flex, check it out let me know what you think

i dig, but did you just tape off those letters for the graphic? you may consider stencils next time, cleaner results.

tarzan · 07-03-2009, 01:15 PM

looks nice but maybe a new bottom graphic, get a friend to draw a picture or something

sctr9er · 07-03-2009, 02:34 PM

yeah i just taped them off. it was more or less just a trial run of the new shape in my press
i just wanted to ride it. wasnt to concerned about the bottom

5 layers of how thick, 1/8"? and exactly how much concave is that? looks liek almost 3/4"

TwinTown Skater · 07-03-2009, 03:52 PM

Looks good. What is the wb and how much do you weigh? I'm about to do a similar project and want to know whether 5 layers needs any glass or carbon.

sctr9er · 07-03-2009, 04:38 PM

yes, it is 1/8" bb the i dont know exactly how much concave but it is somewere around 3/4' its a shitload but i love the feel.

the wb is 40" im pretty shure, and i weight 220 on a good day lol

sorry guys i can find any of my measuring tools

Squirrlyismyname · 07-03-2009, 04:59 PM

the wheelbase is 40"?!?!? i think you got your numbers wrong of that is an optical illusion of a picture

dap209 · 07-03-2009, 08:36 PM

yeah just from looking at it, it looks more like your board length is closer to 40 and your wb is somewhere around 30-35

sctr9er · 07-03-2009, 10:20 PM

ya that was just my guess, ill go measure it right now
#### i was waaaay off the full length is 41.25" and the wb is exactly 33"
sorry for the mix up guys

that is a beefy ass nose. looks like it could take a beating.

you should totally call it the copycat. seeing has how it's copying the hellcat. you're so clever.

what kind of press are you using?

zolojub · 07-04-2009, 10:23 AM

how did you make the concave?

sctr9er · 07-04-2009, 11:04 AM

its a dam beefy board, almost weights as much as my evo
i made the press(credit to dimm) out of foam and some old two by twleve i had lying around
here is a pic

i have sanded it down a bunch since these pics were taken, but you get the idea
also tossing around the idea of building a drop press so i can make a copy d seed

im also looking to make a possible drop board using the dimm method, and excuse me being a noob and not knowing much about it, but when u press it, do u put all the layers of the 1/8 BB in the press at once or do u press some of it, and then add more?

All at once

^ what he said

BAsports18 · 08-26-2009, 07:49 PM

i made a similar board. 5 ply 1/8 inch baltic birch. I think its about 44 inches with a little over an inch of concave. Its a little heavy but i like it.
