Make Your Own Caster Board

Posted by Action Isle – March 2, 2009


Make your own caster boardWant to make your own caster board?

Making your own caster board like a ripstik or a wave board looks easy after watching this video, especially if you already have a skateboard deck lying around.

You'll need a few cheap supplies, a screwdriver, drill, and a saw if you want to cut the deck in half and make it more like a ripstik/wave board.

The end product may not be a spitting image of a ripstik, but it's simple to make your own caster board and it doesn't take too long.

You can follow the step by step tutorial on how to make your own caster board, or take a look at the video below.

Bikes That Roll Over

Posted by Action Isle – May 5, 2008

You could bike around on just an average bike... or you could be different and do something like below. Here are a few bikes that people got creative with.  They welded roll bars on so they could do a somersault on their bike, and then keep riding.

Here's a pocketbike that has a roll bar attached to it....

Here's a bike that has two roll bars on it to make rolling easier...

Last, but not least, here's a bike that rolls over... a lot...

Here's a video of a guy explaining how he made his homemade electric skateboard.  Doesn't sound too complicated.  He made it in the 80's and it STILL works.

 

The motor he has on his homemade electric skateboard is a blower motor from a car that is powered by a lawnmower battery.

Homemade Mountainboard

Posted by Action Isle – March 11, 2008

The three wheeled homemade mountainboard that this guy made looks great, but it doesn't look like it can turn. I don't know where he got the frame part of it, but it looks like it was pre-built and all he had to do was put the skateboard deck on it.

Take a look at what happens, it's pretty funny. Looks painful though.
