Hi Martijn,
This mail can be done in Nederlands?...er zit een Belg achter Toothless
Longboards stuff ;-)
For I don't know, in English then...
I bumped into quite a lot of people constructing longboards out of old
(broken) snowboards...and to be honest,...it doesn't work!!!
The stuff is too flex, because snowboards have their strength through the
steel rails and their shape...
Cut them down and you'll end up with a sloppy contraption you can cruise but
can't speed down slopes...
As with all experiments, you could cut it down into a longboard and add
reinforcements...like plywood stringers...
Dunno, sounds fab!, but I think you'll end up as all others...too flex deck,
and no usable deck...
Success!
Experiment! a way to survive! ;-)
