I might just have to build one of these.

I can see this hurting so much If you fall

I was actually thinking of a lowered longboard recently (like stanced or whatever, I can't remember), nothing like this though.

Also, where'd you find this? I'd love to see more of those trucks in the back!

Took it a couple hours ago at a car show.

So, like stance in cars, it makes the vehicle pretty useless.

Scraped it?

Not necessarily, I mean this would less useful in a skatepark because you don't have a full deck, but having the deck well below the truck pivot point is actually really helpful for high speed stability. Downhill longboards (60+ mph on a skateboard down a twisty mountain road with no brakes) are often designed with the deck within an inch of the road.

Nope! Was decently functional

I made one a couple of years ago...

Had to put it on longboard wheels to make it taller because it kept bottoming out when flexing... If I ever get a hold of an old longboard I might do that as well...

How did you do it? Cut out notches for the wheels, drill holes for the trucks, bolt through it?

The similarity here is like that of racecars compared to stanced cars. This is the skateboard equivalent of stance

I'll give you that for sure, I mean I think that's kinda the point as it was probably built mainly for cruising around car meets haha.

Cut out notches, get long nuts, put them through the factory holes and just put the trucks on top of the board rather than under it. Curse a lot when the whole thing scrapes like crazy, get bigger (longboard) wheels to fix the problem, and you're done. Pretty simple, really.

I seriously know more about neurons in the brain than I do skateboards. So i'll take your explanation as 100% correct.

I'm disappointed.
