Default possible bob-sled

thinking about buying 4 DCS trucks and making a bob-sled. sounds nifty. that would be a ride! being able to drift up pipes! with friends too!

not sure this is a longboard hybrid though, but a fun idea none the less. what do you guys think? im pretty handy with my hands and can make the bob-sled its self. probably would need a roll cage of some sort or a break. otherwise how do u get out of a bob-sled shooting down a pipe?

I have designed but not assembled my own version of a one-man, all terrain bob-sled. Nothing like your idea.

Are you going to place them in one row down the middle, one behind the other? Or are you going to place them 2 side-by-side. Two side-by-side will kill the ability to lean turn.

Sounds like a fun project. I think a street bob-sled could be a blast to ride. If they can have street luges, certainly we can have street bob-sleds.

Dude, that would actually be an efficient mode of transportation. With that sort of center-of-gravity, and some bones ceramics, you would just COAST. Uphill would blow though.

Side by side might work well. You would need some hand holds and the ability to lean hard, but Lonnie Toft turns his boards, same idea.

bobsled have a steering deal, not lean to steer...

Default Re: possible bob-sled

you could definitely do it, if you had kinda a lott buttboard shape...leave the back squared off, to support the DCS truck on the back, and put one at the very front of the board...and put a fairing on the front maybe?
