had absolutely nothing to do today, so i figured why not make a new board. i didnt want to make one from scratch cause that takes too much work and i dont have any tools, so i decided to cut my old skateboard. i dont have any kind of power saw, so i hand sawed the nose off and then sanded it down to make it as even as possible. if i like it i might get some new wheels. these trucks are fine for short boards in my opinion. let me know what you think. i call it a cruiser cause thats what i will be using it for. and i put pool board cause i think it looks like a pool board. (i never have skated a pool and dont intend to)

Why don't you want to skate pools? I started on longboards and now I am into bowls and ramps at skateparks. Its like riding a concrete wave with flow and speed, I don't flip it or nothin, I just ride. I think bowl riding would appeal to most longboarders, because there is a ride - its not just single passes with tricks like street skating, its all flowy and continuous.

yeah, i see where you're coming from. im just not really into that. i have a board for when im actually going out to longboard (vanguard, paris 180's, orange o-tangs) and now im gonna use this board for going to and from work and neighborhood friends houses. i just dont have any incentive to go bowl skating. cause i have no skateboarding background so i dont know how to skate pipes or parks or anything.
and yeah, the only problem i can see with this is wheel bite. i dont think you can have much bigger wheels than the ones i have on their now without having to make some cutouts. the wheels on there right now are stock sector 9 wheels which are 65 mm
