Chopped and Dropped LY

[boby]

My brother, Louis, purchased a Landyachtz Totem Pintail. It was never used. So I suggested, instead of selling, why not cut it up. The new, drop hammer, looks like the same mold and shape, but with cut out. And he really like that board. So here is what we came up with.

First the drop thru holes were cut, then the new shape was cut, sanded, then a nice new coat of polyurethane. Ready to roll. Rides great, reasonably stable, carves nice, and handles Gumballs easily.

Nice work!

Looks great - how does it ride?

Nice Muffs

Excellent work! This just give me more proof that Landys were built to be custom cut.

Thanks guys, Louis's real stoked. As you can see in the third pic.

Rides real well. The Totem has a real deep concave. It tapers abit towards the tail, makes for a great carver, slider, freeride board.

Take it easy,
Will

does it flex? it looks badass.

[***TWITCH***]

Wow that thing looks really cool. I really like the layerd cut outs. Looks really fun

[hoch92000]

Fantastic work. I am however surprised that you don't get wheelbite on hard carves, a problem easily solved with stiffer bushings.

[m-tron]

Wow, that looks really nice. No bite even with the flipped hangers?

[jspats40]

thats the sweetest board rig i have ever seen.

[latenite]

wow looks good!

that looks like it would have the potention to be a badass Dh board, depending on the length, the shape is great.

27.6" wb, according to daddie's

decent, but not really a dh base.
Should be a ton of fun nonetheless. great for garages, bike/golf paths and when you have to carry it around.

Good work, 100% better than an unused board.

Thats the sickest mod i've ever seen done to any board i've seen.
whats the WB?

EDIT: ARGH me and steve c posted at the same time and answered my question

[aznmobsta]

looks sweet

[boby]

Thanks again. The wheelbase is not really designed for DH, but makes a great carver, freeride and mild DH. Which is what he was after.

26.6" sounds about right for the WB. Flex, there is some, but mostly stiff.

It does get close to wheel bite, with EXTREMELY lose trucks, and flipped. It is set-up with flipped tail and unflipped nose at the moment, and doesnt get even close. Wheelbite issues can be avoided with a well designed cut-out. The lines were taken of my proto speedboard(which handles gummys no problem), but were adjusted slightly to allow more footspace. The 'hybrid wheelwells' also help wheelbite .

He will probably get some new bushings. After riding Red Holey bushings nothing compares!

Cheers,
Will

looks professionally done. Very good job,.

[AnjewDang]

that looks sick

[TheKraken]

That thing is awesome. It really looks perfect. I agree with Pima too, Landys are made to be chopped up.

[MJKam11]

Its so cleanly cut! Nice work.
