My $3 Homemade Longboard / Shlongboard

[sch04car]

if you have lik3 $20-$50 you can invest in some longboard wheels for a smother and quieter ride.

[chrisdev99]

Me and my dad just made one and I noticed that it doesn't turn very well I think it's because the trucks are on a slant, I do have skateboard trucks

On it if

That makes a difference

[Pacerace100]

@chrisdev99 The slant the trucks are on act the same as if you "wedged" your trucks so they should turn better than mounted on the flat section of the board. Have you loosened up your trucks at all? If they are too tight they won't want to turn very much.

[MrImsuperfly]

Dont do this my friend broke his arm from getting wheel bite on a hill or atleast cut wheel wells

[Mr420chiefa1624]

Sucks

[stefano1251]

On

[stefano1251]

Put longboard wheels

[MrDilwo]

The only problem I see is you'd have to cut holes around the wheels so you don't get wheel bite constantly.

[FreakedKoRnKid]

Id be afraid it ride that..

[mrracey69]

get a job



[MrDylanskate]

why not just buy a decent longboard, so you dont have to waste your money by buying longboard equipment and putting them on gay skateboards

[goldmoogle]

sweet board bro I might have to make one of these

[powerenslaver]

get some longoard wheels

[gonzhh95]

jajajaja i used chargers and bigzigs on mine most insane board ever specialy since i got a big skateboard

[LongboardBail]

Buy Bear trucks ... there decent...

[D0wnhillJake]

I saw the video and I rapidly did one, But I stacked mine with some gullwing trucks I had around and some sector 9 wheels, but thanks for the inspiration man :)

[techno241]

Dude u could of.also done just get some.wheels that r bout 60 mm nd that's it nd just cruise

[TheJmorgan1994]

It's called getting a job

[theoriginalelzincho]

There really good I found a board on the ground in banff Canada took it home and moved the wheels around it works great now

[burlwoodman]

I did this when my longboard deck warped and I didnt have the money for another one... took the trucks off and put em on the ends of my regular deck, which I cut to eliminate wheelbite. Ive been using it for about 8 months now and it carves like a dream. The wider trucks, bigger wheels, and softer bushings really do a lot for the board.

[SgtCraigHart1]

"shlong" board xd

[mycrapytv]

my firend did it..... broke the skateboard

[LongBoardAndDubstep]

Or you can buy a legit longboard.

Just sayin its better.

[AKingJohnR]

Seems like a lost cause.

[newguy4lfe]

Thumbs up for mongo pushing!

[TheNyLaxer]

dude, sperries on yo feet? nice....

[DubnutX]

If you flip your trucks around it's even better dude.

[bestamerica]

'

see my video about scooter / skateboard / half scooter / half skateboard

[ThatFingerboardGuy5]

I have a longboard but im going to make one of these anyway cause it looks like it will be easy to slide:)

[collingwood170159]

dose it slide well?

[sectoronetwothree]

They don't carve for shit



[killagingatk]

u could also jus make like a short board and get some long board trucks and wheels and put it together like a regular skateboard its pretty fun actually i have one and it handles pretty well jus dont loosen the trucks too much cause the board will hit the wheel and itll toss u off but otherwise its great

[ishansmnt]

Drop that piece of shit and get a rayne hellcat

That's what I have

[iiKuRbzStoMpeR]

@ishansmnt the vendetas better bro!!

[2002william]

Got some speed on your board/ max 8mph

[TheGeoffreyW]

Are you skating with sperry topsiders? you sail bro?

[ShannonDenham1995]

So its a dick board?

[Mattymills28]

How long ago did you male it. I thought of the idea a very long time ago and i reckon is a lot better. I think i thought of it 4 years ago and i have gfh fatties and gullwing alpine trucks. Mines better!!!!

[wow9510]

HAHAHA!

[75WEB]

amazon has some nice boards for carving and what not i recommend the atom pintail super carver long board for 100 bucks. or if ur looking for a cheaper one there is the krown dunes complete long board

[whitetrash811125]

is it fast do? ???

[HaLLoweenHunters]

u should buy a krown longboard the one im getting is 50 dollars and its 43 inches

[MexicansAreNice]

Don't go to fast, you might fall off...

[2deebeez]

I was looking for a use for my 7-8 year old flip, thanks

[blackmondae]

Dude!!!!! thanks for sharing! I made myself a board thanks to you!!

[TheTrivert]

@oVisuaLL did you even watch the video? shitty troll is shit. He clearly said he couldn't afford one right now.

[stKittsLongboarding2]

this isnt even a shlongboard a shlongboard is a skateboard on top of longboard trucks and wheels... thats awkward you just made a bad video

[TheCitizenErazed]

Do an ollie and... *CRAC !*

[KINGZskateboarding]

isnt shlong mean penis?

[machado420cody]

That's really really really gay

[49ersfan660]

dude lower the better

[JoWwOp]

ONLYuseMEblade?

[DrRoryMagowan]

You're gonna want some better wheels

[TheFurryTaco]

READ THIS PLZ!!

I just made a shlongboard with regular truck and regular wheels, and it sucks.

If you are going to make a shlong board i would recomend putting longboard trucks, longboard wheels and RISERS. otherwise you cant slide and your turning circle is crap so plz do that and dont waste time

[Dontreallycareish]

what up wit the sperry boat shoes?

[crazycorndog125]

Haha u sed shlong :P

[GiveAsiansAChance]

hahahaha slongboard

[COMPLETELYaGAMING]

just some advise i can see your trucks are that way round as they are on all skateboards but try turning them around it might make a big difference for you

[epicdankbud]

getto!!!!

[wasd93]

Whatsup with the sailor shoes?

[sxezaki]

if you get a rip stick and take off the wheeles and mount it on the slongboard and you got a freeboard

[stableElephant]

ghetto longboarding

[Davemacereej]

it looks pretty awesome but i dont think it good 4 cruising

[treehugerproductions]

what kinda skate shoes are those?

[bnxlive]

I have a shlongboard, too. I have longboard trucks and wheels on mine. Rides really smooth. Just too cheap to get a new longboard deck right now.

[tonytrahan1]

i just took a 2 by 12 and cut it into shape and stole the trucks off my board

[quakefiend]

dang, I love that board with the dave kinsey dude on the bottom. One of my design idols at blk/mrkt

[rengawtm]

@781RDevin I did that but with Randal Trucks and Sector Nine Nineball wheels, Walmart board and it is the best sliding board I've ever had! I put the trucks 1" from the tip of the deck and it works great! What I'm thinking of doing is removing the griptape filling the old holes with wood filler and then fiberglassing the bottom and top of the board. I have all the stuff so I'll let you know how it works! :)

[caster4life]

I made one of these but I spent $2

[itzwinton]

I knew someone would say something about his shoes hahahah

[781RDevin]

Im thinking about dis project on a wal-mart board wit some orangatang wheels and risers

[ratrodrocky]

i did that about 5 years back too. but i used the wheels,spacers and trucks off my longboard that had took a pretty good beating.

[DRAGONASSULT1]

Here's a tip.

Get spacers to raise your trucks and put them on an angle for better turns because you said in a response to a comment that you bomb hills with that thing. And since you bought it from the flea market than it probably came with spacers.

Get better bushings which are only the cost of 3 terrible skateboards from the flee market.

[TheClemsonDude]

@DRAGONASSULT1 That would work a lot better, but this board broke a long time ago

[skateremo22]

thats cool but a shlong is a dick dude :\

[imusthaveaconcussion]

lol nice shlong,

[kponos100]

I made one of these like three weeks ago and its pretty awesome

[DIYhi]

made one but used longboard wheels and it went pretty good... until i got wheel bite and fell off. so i took my mates jig saw to it :-D

[tBgJaCk970]

cheapest downhill board ever

[JuicyWuSea]

thats hella cool!

[brokenhalo240]

$3 longboard

$2 skateshoes??

[Coolman3465]

@brokenhalo240 Those are 70dollar shoes bro

[brokenhalo240]

@Coolman3465 maybe at one time but doesn't count if they were also bought at the flea mart bro

[beastlyorion]

hahaha

3 bucks? nice!!

probably sucks at carving though

also the wheels are gonna be a lot smaller than ur average longboard

[staytruestayfit]

i guess for the money that aint bad. i <3 my longboard but i think i wanna try this lol

[fishead999]

bought an 8 dollar shitty skateboard today just so i could do this, youve inspired me. i already have 2 nice longboard but when my friends wanna come along ill have another one for them to mess around with thanks for posting the vid!

[dany21359]

this is soo awesome i havent done it yet but i want to thanks for posting the vid its awesome

[nye1956]

Me and my son did this last weekend! I had some spare parts lying around so we managed to put together a pretty decent board. The only difference is that we cut out the front and back of the board to allow room for the wheels. It rides nice and saved the expense of buying a new longboard. Thanks for sharing your vid! :o)

[TheClemsonDude]

@nye1956 Cool, I hope you enjoy it. If you get time you should post a vid of yours. Skate safe!

[MorkaGraven]

@nye1956 Cut notches in the end to slide the trucks into, bolted on top of the deck and you get an even lower stance. that with big wheels makes for something quite awesome.

[vosomejack]

Wow what a great idea nice work man!

[AppleYanka]

does the lowness to the ground help fight speed wobbles?

[TheClemsonDude]

@AppleYanka Yea this board didn't have any speed wobble. Even bombing big hills was really smooth

[AppleYanka]

@TheClemsonDude wow dude thats amazing. well done btw =)

[TazerNot]

@AppleYanka

Speed wobbles-

10% board

90% rider

[JTComfort1]

See The Kinks - "Low Budget". That's AWESOME - especially the chips around the drill holes. Props for not giving a shit - it rolls, attitude!

[allen2688]

i didnt know that now all you need is really cheep krown wheels and risers

[Staby27]

@godwar3601 skateboard wheels are supposed to be made if plastic longboard wheels are made of rubber

[keravankolli56]

nice shoes :)

[kyro000]

But if you buy some new real longboarding wheels and trucks and everything, it'd be much better to ride bro.

[PuffMan265]

man i thought i was the first person to do that but put the trucks on the other side of the board its fricken hard

[glennergetik]

the kingpin is very close to the ground, use some angled risepads, bigger wheels and you basically got yurself a dropdown type longboard ^^

[shitkicker01]

nice haha

[cubworld]

nice shlong hahaha. Rad.

[godwar3601]

are skate board wheels suppose to be made of rubber or plaster or wood

[sammylime]

Haha shlong

[I2iotMaker]

Kinda like a drop deck. Nice job :)

[slash18124]

i was told they r called a drop down deck and i made one for my friend and we put randel r-11 180mm trucks with 70mm arbor wheels...i think they are 75A's but it is super sick and the trucks and everything were free so its awesome

[fordgtrocks1579]

Get a fibreflex most of them are cheap

[montyburnes14]

ur trucks are facing the wrong way for a longboard. otherwise the king pin bolt thing can scrape the groung

[bradyfisher66]

@montyburnes14 but thats the thing its not a longboard and its not patented so it dont matter

[caroblast]

You probly had to super lube the bearings up if you got that board for just 3 dollars.

[StabbyFork]

invest in some wheels

[bulipap]

WHEELBITE OM NOM NOM NOM !!!

[jwoutdoors303]

@bulipap om nom nom nom ....lol.

[RoboGeek123]

to make it go faster you can put roller blade wheels on instead,

[XxXliljordanXxX]

I would get risers and longboard wheels, then it would be more awesome.

Still really good idea though.

[emosp0ngebob]

i did this with my board wayy back. the trick is to get an old school deck with soft bushings, that way when you lower the trucks to the ends it doesnt just go straight, it realy makes a difference having the trucks at the end; on a normal skateboard, a 20 meter hill and you have too much speed woble, but with the trucks at the end there is no limit to how fast you can go. just try not to stand in the middle

[madaboutorange]

I kept on turning my head just to see the board up right XD

[TheClemsonDude]

@madaboutorange My bad, I guess I didn't exactly hold the camera straight :)

[rawkdude14]

I JUST DID THIS XD DIDNT RIDE IT YET SO IMA GO RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[kriptonite95]

Just save up dude but if you're gonna use it that way I say bigger wheels.

[TheClemsonDude]

@kriptonite95 I know, I made this vid back when I was in my second year of college so I didn't have the money for a legit longboard then. If you've got the cash, then definitely buy a real nice longboard. But for people who don't have the money this works pretty good. Bigger wheels help too.

[hardyboys171]

@TheClemsonDude do u have skate shoes

[rcplane56]

@kriptonite95 i agree i did this before i watched this but i used my longboard wheels and it works great

[guitarheo3]

that's gnarly man

[vanrudyzz]

i think the board crack becoz you drilled it too near to the edge..but it looks really sick!

[TheClemsonDude]

@vanrudyzz Yea man plus it was a shitty board to start with so it wasn't very well made. A very low quality deck...

[Tdibby3]

my friend did the same thing all he did was jijsaw out little corners to prevent wheelbite

[pwndstickfigure]

good when the wheels are more near the tail its much easier to brake? :D

[WTDproductions10]

wheel bite?

[TheClemsonDude]

@WTDproductions10 Not too bad. Only in hard turns

[613Skier]

I built one of those once too as an experiment. The cracks in the board are pretty sketch I wouldn't want to bomb a hill on that board.. But just as a commuter it's fine.

[872463051]

If you want to do one better than that is you can take a skateboard deck and longboard trucks/wheels, moving the trucks up, too. It's in cost and quality something between his shlongboard and a longboard. It'll be a lot smoother and more longboard-like, while still being a lot cheaper than a longboard.

[AdrenalineObsession]

I did the same with my board that i found in my basement -  and i totally love it, i put some rollerblade wheels on it and did have some wheelbite, so i threw 1/4 of an inch shim inbetween the board and the already exsisting shim. im a pretty happy pup with it

[SkagerV]

Yeah just cut out a little bit on the sides. And you can carve that thing like crazy. Plop down a little money for wheels and trucks and your flying baby.

[TwiceVicodin]

Respect for improvisation. For $3, you did a helluva good job

[TheClemsonDude]

@TwiceVicodin Thanks! It worked pretty well until I was able to afford a legit longboard. It was a lot of fun

[bryan79106]

You just inspired me a bunch thanks bro

[logansportsman215]

put some big wheels on it and put wheel wells in it

[cautionus]

maybe put riser pads on it?

[logansportsman215]

u should stain it like a longboard make it lok newer

[chumps613]

Does it go a lot faster? I really don't wanna throw down another bill or two for a long board when I already have my normal board.

[TheClemsonDude]

@chumps613 Its not really much faster but it is much easier to control in corners

[jbm4551]

@chumps613 honestly a skeate board deck will work but with out longboard wheels bearing and trucks its really not that much different... easy fix. ebay has longboard wheel packages with every thing u need to ride except a deck for 30 dollars. soooooo worth it

[SwiftBoards]

@chumps613 if you buy better wheels and bearings, itll go alot faster.

[613Skier]

@chumps613 Urethane and good bearings make a board go faster not the board. The lower center of gravity will be better cornering and less chance of speed wobbles. You might want to router out some space to not get wheel bite when you turn.

[QuilmTwe]

U could buy wheels, and bigger trucks, then it will be awesome.

[TheClemsonDude]

@Quekil830 A little bit. Can't loosen them too much because of wheelbite



[kj91gorre]

@TheClemsonDude to decrease wheel bite... you must cut the exes sides .....just enough to make it look like a real longboard....

[Drjerome1]

i didnt no other ppl did this. i thought i came up wit it. damn. i made one for my friend, it was awesome esp cause we used lb truks. then he made it drop thru and ruined it.

[KonvictRAT]

Thats pretty smart never thought of that

[badmemrys]

I just sold one of these things that I built for $150, put an inch of riser on and some 65mm longboard wheels with soft bushings in the trucks and you've got the most awesome ride ever.

[moneyman798]

i build one it is awesome i put speeddeamon trucks on it and hudge ass wheels lol i works well just like my real long board it took me like 5 minutes to do so ya thanks

[jvc170]

but some risers on it, some abec bearing, then some longboard bearings and u'ed be good.

[dland95]

Cut out the corners on it with a hack saw and it will look so badass. I'm gonna do this so I can have a spare board. Check out the video of my longboard.

[iVideology]

I MADE THIS TOO! I love it and I made a video of it in my channel! wheels cant powerslide tho :(

[TheClemsonDude]

@iVideology Good job, yours looks really cool. I like the striped grip tape!

[iVideology]

@TheClemsonDude Thanks man, I got a really nice and flexy deck cuz my local skate shop was going out of business (skating can be expensive and shop couldnt keep up with recession) so I got my deck for $8. I heard Rollerblade wheels are helpful for these

[korgnewb777]

I laughed my ass off at your comment to skatesnowboy. Hahaha. Very inventive, indeed.

[TwoDayOldPudding]

This is awesome!

[TheClemsonDude]

@TwoDayOldPudding Thank you! It was fun while it lasted. You should build one

[skatesnowboy]

why dont u stop spending ours in your room wanking and get a job to buy a fucking longboard asshole

[TheClemsonDude]

@skatesnowboy I have a job, 5 cars, and a 4,500 square foot house. So go fuck yourself

[ucheNL]

@TheClemsonDude 

[cammo2310]

@TheClemsonDude hey fuck you u r the biggest fuck job i have eva heard so how about u get ur filthy,dirty off the street little fuck mouth and shove it so far up your ass that u will be inside out mutha fucka and dont even reply!!

[TheClemsonDude]

@cammo2310 Hey here's an idea: How about you learn to spell you fucking dumbass

[thenewguy11111]

@skatesnowboy haha hours? haha

[teamlilya]

Hey I'm trying to build one of these and I have a question how can u prevent the crack from happening wen your drilling the hole or at least make make the crack small

[TheClemsonDude]

@teamlilya Well this board broke because it was cracked before I even started drilling it. If you start with a good solid deck and don't drill too close to the edge then it shouldn't crack.
