Need A Buttboard

[GravityRider15]

I know that there are a bunch of instructions on how to build one, but to save time, if anyone out there has a decent one that they would be willing to sell, I might damn well be interested. I missed out for stand up at Maryhill, and this might be my backup right now. I may buiild my own, and see how that goes, so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it

They sell them at Home Depot... Some assembly and cutting might be required.

Tim Novak sells a deck (HAE) I wonder if you can still get a Lott Classic somewhere? You can ask him at his site ButtBoarding.com

BUT I have to say, unless you have killer abs, you won't want to ride buttboard at Maryhill all day. You might be able to get a couple of runs in the morning, and a couple in the afternoon.

Hey Chris, you seen to do fine on you Flushcut! If yo do build one tell me because I would love to help. I think want one too.
How the hell do you build a Luge?

How the hell do you build a Luge?

Check out Toothless: Luge Construction for a basic idea; Look at Chris McB's gallery of luges on his website.
Also check out these links:
HAE Street Luge Construction Guide
How to Build a Street Luge - Construction Plans for a Homemade Street Luge
How to build a street luge? (streetluge)
Shrox Industria

There are lots more out there, some more helpful and some not but all will help guide you in the right direction.

To build a luge that will be safe and well designed, prepare to know how/have the equipment for (or access to it):
Cutting sheet aluminium and rectangular stock
Bending sheet metal
Bending metal tubing (I assume you'll go boomless, so you'll want wraparound handlebars)

Other than that it takes some 6061 stock and time and a good mind for building things (some call it designing, some call it engineering, I call it fun).

If you have SketchUp I can share a model of a boomless that I was designing (and have half done) before I bought my RBros.

I guess that was a lot, and sorta off-topic... but a buttboard is a plank of wood... a streetluge is made of metal and must be a balance of smart design and safe construction. Good luck!

I'll check out those links you guys gave me and see which would be my best option, thanks a lot.

I wish i could just ride my damn flushcut

Black Kross by Coffin Case Q-bi buttboard

damn that boards expensive

[neuros]

I am failing to see how this is a buttboard
CoffinCase.com - Guitars Cases, Coffin Clothing, Coffin Accessories, Coffin Girls, Masuimi Max, Rock Bands, Black Cross, The Mora Show

and isn't SC8 not producing/in business anymore? Their luge is sexalicious, and that buttboard is the only one I've seen that has a butt-drop.

The Lang Bros made a BEAUTIFUL "dropped" board as well.

I just saw an HAE buttboard on ebay...

The land bros told me that they would not make any more of them and sc8 are not around any more (I have one) ..just get a plant and put some wheels on it.

Thanks to oldnbroken, I will be getting a new buttboard in about a week.

Can't wait 'till it comes.


Thanks for All the help


Chris

(p.s., I might still build one for the fun of it)

Dutchskateboards makes this one on order. It's my design and has a full concave (cussion is my own addition :P)




dunno about pricing, but should be reasonable

[chrismcb]

Its hard to say, but based on the pics the front trucks look like they are too close to the front of the board. I guess it really depends on where you lay on the board. How far from the front of the board are the trucks?

[Basch]

It has the same wheelbase and length of a Lott
82cm between inner boltholes and 23 from the front.

it's s bit further to the front as the Chris C board (3cm). But I like it this way
