Still need longer bolts to attach the trucks. Thanks to Otto for the help!

Update: Some interesting responses. For everyone saying this is ridiculous and stupid, HELL YES it is! I'm not a skateboarder but happened to have a skateboard laying around and decided to try this. Will it work? Probably not? Is it ridable? Hardly. Will I ride it? Extremely doubtful. It was just for the hell of it. Also, it has much more clearance with the new trucks on.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think it will work like that. Cus you know, physics.

Exactly why I'm doing it! I'm not a skateboarder either haha

The trucks will lay lower when bolted up, giving it about 2MM ground clearance.

It won't turn and when you hit a small pebble or large leaf you will fly off and your teeth will become embedded in the asphalt. Great idea, love it.

Looks like a great way to lose an ankle.

I know right? When you bail and land on that it's going to perforate you.

What about flex in the middle while riding?

Wow, missed the point. It's for the hell of it. I obviously wouldn't have done it if it was to be ridden often. Who would?

Check the new pictures. I put lower trucks with bigger tires on. Now it has about 3 MM of clearence!

Very cool. It has an 80s Southern California vibe to it.

I admire this for the sheer absurdity of it, even tho I doubt it will work

You missed my point, I love it. I used to do stuff like this all the time. One of my favorites was when I put a Scooter front wheel on my bmx bike. Completely unrideable, dangerous and ridiculous but it looked cool.

Man, thought that was sarcasm. Completely my bad. And I put a wooden board with two skateboard trucks on either side on the front of a BMX bike when I was 9ish. It worked surprisingly well.

I've actually seen people make these work before. Get a spacer to lift the truck off the deck then enjoy your new fully functional slamboard.
