Cut out an old board. Pretty fucked up shape but it's super fun to ride.

Think that wins the ghetto cruiser award for 2010

noileum · « **Reply #335 on:** May 18, 2010, 03:10:35 AM »

and there aint nothing wrong with that

(to be fair it looks like a lot of fun)

Locbrew · « **Reply #336 on:** May 18, 2010, 12:22:46 PM »

what do you guys use to shape your cruisers out of old boards, cause I got an old board that I want to turn into a cruiser.

noileum · « **Reply #337 on:** May 18, 2010, 01:35:03 PM »

beer goggles from the looks of some on here (including the first one I tried to make myself)

Inbred Jed · « **Reply #338 on:** May 18, 2010, 01:58:58 PM »

a saw and sandpaper

Smell Good · « **Reply #339 on:** May 18, 2010, 02:03:51 PM »

A jigsaw, preferably.

word, I think my dad has one, I've already taken the grip off and made the shape outline with a sharpie, looks pretty weird, but awesome.

Smell Good · « **Reply #342 on:** May 18, 2010, 05:41:15 PM »

How'd you draw your outline? Did you have something to trace with? I'd like to try my hand at cutting my board, but I'm fairly clumsy sometimes.

gutterhead. · « **Reply #343 on:** May 18, 2010, 06:05:08 PM »

I just freehanded mine on a bandsaw, this was my first time so I just winged it.

I just freehanded it on the top of the deck, so at least I would have something to have a guideline with.

I'm planning on getting one of the Deathwish Spliff Cruisers soon. It's a 7.75.

I need recommendations on the..

Trucks (size, brand, etc.), Wheels (size, brand, etc.), and which bearings to use.

I used one of my other decks for the outline. I usually ride a pointy-ish nosed deck so I just lined them up so I would cut a couple inches off the sides.

My homie John makes these...

well no luck in getting one of the traffic cruisers shipped across (shipping costs were prohibitive, the dude oyola was more than helpful tho) meant it was zip zinger time

here it is chilling by the Thames (zip zinger 7.75, indy 139's, 65mm zip zingers) after a nice hour pushing along the streets of LDN after work this afternoon

Mevs · « **Reply #352 on:** May 25, 2010, 05:27:11 PM »

Put this together this week to play in all the nice weather we've been having 'oop north, the wheels eat Manchester's haggard paving slabs for breakfast!

cruiser boards are a bourgois accessory. just skate one board.

I used to be this guy but after I fucked my ankle so I couldn't skate properly for a while a got a cruiser which is good 'cause now I can stand on a board at least and bomb hill or shit so I'm not going to be a full stranger to the skateboard after I can skate again.

Yep my brother.

After a shit load of saving...

The wheels are not as soft as I imagined. I was hoping they'd be a bit more stealthy but the bit of hardness means powerslides are still possible.

^Nice. Shape of that board looks awesome.

Are they 80Ds? Should be plenty soft if they are.

Smurph · « **Reply #358 on:** May 27, 2010, 03:36:28 PM »

Yep, they are. I just expected them to be alot softer than what they turned out to be. They still feel good but they're quite loud.

Locbrew · « **Reply #359 on:** May 27, 2010, 03:40:50 PM »

I have those wheels, always knew what my set-up was when getting it out of my friends car, cause mine was the only one that would bounce when you drop in on the ground, I had them on my street board.
