indoboard dimensions?

Postby IdRatherBeSurfing » Thu Sep 07, 2006 1:49 pm

can someone give me dimensions for the classic indoboard?? the joys of having a dad who was a carpenter/joiner for 25 years means theres plently of bits of wood around to make one :D

also, does anyone know if you can buy the rollers on their own?? i know you can buy the inflatable ball things for about £20, but havent seen any rollers around without the board itself included.

Cheers 8)

Email the indoboard site for rollers or go and get some of that pipe they use for drainage which is ribbed(for your pleasure :lol: ) should be plenty strong enuff for inboarding+ but some gripper tape for deck + stick it all over your home made roller so you can pull better tricks, can measure my board tonight give you dimensions later!

Ive also found girly10kg plastic dumbells work well-a little gripper tape around the bit which is in contact with board/floor would improve them a little but that way you have a roller and dumbell so dual use 1/2 the space.

1 little hint when making an indo board is to make sure you add stops at either end as they are lethal without them!

where do you get gripper tape from?? theres a focus DIY not too far from work, could have a look there.

Theres plenty of that brown plastic sewage pipe (clean!) lying around here too, spose i could use some of that :D

You can get rolls os self adhesive gripper tape off ebay pretty cheaply, i would recomend using this stuff as you could cut out a cool design from it and stick to the deck of your board.
Im toying with the idea of making a mini indoboard as i cant seem to ollie mine very high atall so am hoping the reduced weight will help me get higher! 8)
