Ok after seeing this article posted on the 'stance' website canibeat.com I decided that it would be easy to turn my old skateboard into a stanceboard. No reason at all really apart from its something to do... should look decent and.... itll be something different to have next to the car at meets and shows etc.
Examples:

Being at university I cant get any pictures of my skateboard but its been sitting in an outhouse since the week after I bought it in cornwall when I was 12. After sitting for years it pulls heavily to the left and the bearings were never much good anyway so its not great as a skateboard anyway. Dont know if I am sad to see it go or not but living in the countryside and having reasons not to break my bones meant that I never really got into the skating scene...
Anywhoo Dec should be coming down to mine on Saturday the 25th of February to prepare for the Ipswich meet that evening. Plan is to cut out the... what im going to call wheel arches lol and then take a trip to B&Q and get some long bolts so we can bolt the trucks on the top..Then after I guess we will be taking a trip to halfrauds to buy some diablo spray paint so we can spray colour code the board with my car!
Shopping List:
Wheel Bearings
Trucks
Long Bolts + 12 Locking Nuts - B&Q
Diablo Spray Paint - Halfords
Maybe new Wheels - Ebay
At the moment its pretty much just me doing it and Dec helping out and shadowing me around B&Q but I believe he is trying to get hold of an old board off a mate so he can join in with his own!
And for those who say its unrideable... it pretty much is!
