Exclamation Hamboards as a STREET LUGE!!!!!

Hi, i had a idea and i was thinking, can you buy a hamboard deck, put the mounting bolts more forwards and putting 2 trucks on the front and back. Will that work?

It wouldn't be worth spending the money. Just build your own buttboard.

Buttboard... it costs as much as a plank of plywood, randals 180's, and 70mm wheels.

Sure, but at $450 it would be an expensive wooden luge. They won't qualify as a buttboard, because they are too long.

I own a hamboard, but i think as a luge it will be too high off the ground as is, maybe with different wheels and no or less risers it may work. But the board is too nice to mess up though. Better make a luge from scratch.

I once made one from a automotive creeper to which I welded plates to mount the trucks, that thing was dangerous, but fun ofcourse.
