Home Made Longboard #5 and #6 www.landraid.com

Here is a drop deck (That rides better than any "manufactured" board I've ridden, and a longer cruising setup. I love to build longboards and anything else involving wood. I am an avid Gullwing Sidewinder fan. They are a very versatile truck and have been good to me.

how do u get the concave in the middle i cant ever figure that out all mine were flat

[jordanlt001]

@rcplane56 Making a press and shaping the board the way you want it to come out.

[aidan649]

on board 5, how did you get the ends like that?

[jordanlt001]

@aidan649 Through using a new press profile and lot's of pressure. I was even impressed, because there was no bounceback out of the press.

[igiveuppickone]

what kind of wood do you use?

[jordanlt001]

@igiveuppickone plies of baltic birch.

i have built some and they turned out nice....i just got some new trucks for them recently and i have the best bearings you can get i carved really good and i have slid on that thing so bad

thanks for getting back at me. you should make a tutorial or just a video describing how you made your press/jig. i was planning on using maple but for the longer board do yuo think itd be better to use birch (as you did) or perhaps bamboo? sorry for spamming you, but your definetly the most proffesional at building longboards on youtube that ive seen :)

[jordanlt001]

@013MasteRSA Yes, it is still not up. Too busy playing and screwing around..

[jordanlt001]

@MattAlisch I use titebond III which is the same compound as it's industrial equivalent "multibond Ez-1"

[jordanlt001]

@jmtaulu Only that a 7ft board will offer many challenges as far as flexibility goes. If your profile is too narrow you may find that the first time you stand on it, it touches the floor, even at 3/4. it is better to offset the flex with either some reversed camber or convex shaping. Thats how manufacturers get away making the longer decks, through layering and glueing themselves, and shaping. Just like skis and snowboards. Watch how those are made, it makes this look easy.

[jmtaulu]

thats an amazing job. definetly doesnt look home made :D im guessing you used 1/16th ply and layered them. im curently planning on making a 7ft longboard and im prbly just gunna use 3/4 inch maple plywood. there wont be any concave but im ok with that. any tips you have that come from expirience?

[MattAlisch]

Dude these are sick...what kind of glue do you use?
