DIY Mountain Board - How to make

[@AlDano]

I like this. I am currently building this but got confused when I noticed the trucks went up and down but didn't swivel. Then after I watched the vid again, I realized you put them on the kick plates so they move on an angle creating the swivel. Otherwise the thing wouldn't turn. Thanks. Can't wait to finish it.

[@shaneharris2355]

I love that you built everything to make this board a reality. Thanks sir sharing. Hoping I can build one of my own soon for wind boarding. Keep you posted.

[@50FTY]

lucky kids to have such a great father,,, beautifully made board...

[@blucation6060]

Awesome! I had skateboards as a child, I wish I had one of those. Multi million dollar idea!

[@CxStark]

i cant believe you made trucks so cool man

thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it CX:)

Moving into my first home.. Can't wait to get into building these types of projects in my garage.. Also, you can add a piece of metal to the nose to act as a bumper/handle to carry that thing back up..

[@homesteadonomics]

That's a great idea Robert! Congrats on the first home too! You're gonna love getting into garage projects... it's my hobby:) joe

[@bo0tybandit]

Now time to put a motor on it, great project and video.

[@homesteadonomics]

haha... yes, but that might be past my skill level...lol! Joe

[@GLTHM_]

Nope u can do it!!

[@Warcraft5555]

it's just a research thing :) , everyone can do it

[@Tomas970506]

Dude do it! And if it works Im gonna make one myself!

[@bo0tybandit]

My buddy made one that ran off of alcohol and damn that thing was fun. He's a mechanic so im sure it was easy for him. This 49cc engine looks promising for those that aren't mechanically inclined such as me. www.bikeberry.com/49cc-flying-horse-5g-pull-start-bicycle-engine-kit-4-stroke.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwsO6-BRDRy8bsxfiV2bkBEiQAF8EzKHE_lmqkSgUy7T-M8UB_9RHqK3P_FdSDB79KTe6acV0aAqjE8P8HAQ

Amazing. I've made my own board before, but I've always bought my trucks. It didn't even occur to me that I could make my own trucks!! Thanks for this awesome video!

[@allenu6295]

That was pretty awesome.. My son is 11 and asking to buy a skateboard, If we work on something like this I think he would use it more. Plus he would be the only kid around here with something like this.

[@BenBrandt22]

Very cool. I don't skateboard, but that looks stable enough (and fun enough) that I could see myself trying. Nice work on the mechanics, looks very clean.

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks so much Ben! Joe

[@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995]

Most definitely not. But I understand why you would think that because as you said you don't skateboard. I've been skating for 30 years now as if it this year. I still surf and snowboard even though I am 37 years old. Still skate very a few times a week. I also ride my electric skateboards probably three or four times a week on average and have built a few mountain boards but not like this The boards that I have built are near replica of the BajaBoards. But instead of $6,000 it only cost me about $2,900 because I built all my own battery cells and printed my own ECS's and BMS's. No I'm not trying to like belittle this guy because I think it's cool that he built this And it is by far more than most men of these days can do so I commend him for trying. But in regards to being a safe or comfortable board to ride at any high speeds whatsoever is in an accurate assumption. Anything over about 17 mph on that thing and you're getting it to territory where you could get seriously hurt on it even if you know what you're doing

[@Y34RZERO]

Nice project. I'd imagine with the weak springs you would have a problem with wheel bite. I would of loved to have this when I was a kid and sent to oklahoma to the family ranch to keep me from getting in trouble back home.

[@NazarenoMorelli]

Genius! Congratulations from Argentina! Is very cool!

[@BEEP_BEEP.]

love it bro I have looking how to build my own trucks for over a year and I came up on this video of yours thanks bro a lot I appreciate your video

Wasn't expecting you to fabricate your own trucks! Nice job man!

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks Chris! It was a super fun project and the trucks were actually the thing I was worried about. I figured it would work but wasn't sure if it would be smooth or not... and surprisingly they worked better than I expected:) Very gushy with the first springs but the stiffer ones are much better:) Joe

[@theantichrist6524]

You did a great job on nailing the side to side steering it still looked like the springs were not strong enough would you tell me the compression strength of the springs I would have used 60 80 pound springs I weigh around 200 lbs

[@marcosfunky]

This suspesions is doing ok. It looks like it takes fine turns. Great job.

[@GeorgLesk]

wonder if one could add a windsurfing-sail to that ☺

[@homesteadonomics]

Now that's a cool idea! we do get the winds up here for sure! Joe

[@jadea7]

Love the build, currently building one of my own. I even have the same Harbour Freight wheels. Question what size threaded rod did you use to mount these and is there a commercial one available? Cause I don't own a welder. Or is it possible for you to build and sell it to me?

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks for checking it out Jadea... I believe it was 5/8" rod. that's what the bore size is listed as on the HF site. Unfortunately I don't sell these things as most are just one of a kind projects that I do for fun. But if you can find a buddy who has access to a welder it's not that hard to make. I'm not a very good welder... so it can definitely be done. As for commercial rods... I'm not sure if they are or aren't available Anyways, hope that helps a little:) Joe

[@wendyfaustin8269]

Now that's what I call a from scratch build! Very cool I would add bindings but that's just me.

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks so much Wendy! Joe

[@timberray9572]

Just wondering, could you use ratchet straps as a way of clamping?

[@homesteadonomics]

I actually used ratchet straps on my curvy board video which is made of the same identical wood that this was... but in this case it was just easier to use the other clamps as last time I ended up getting a bunch of clue in my ratchet mechanism...lol

What a great project Joe and it was nice to see that dad was spoiling himself and having some fun. Have we been introduced to your dog, he looks cute and wags his tail every time you go passed !

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks Tony! sorry for the slow response... camping for the last week or so since I posted this video:) And yes, the dog has kinda been a community dog for the last several years and recently she adopted us. Her original owners had some health issues and had to leave to go to another state and basically everyone who lives around here has just fed and cared for her in their absence. She was that type of dog that would just leave for several days and live in the desert and come back when she pleased. But for the last 6 months she's kind of a adopted us and stays with us almost exclusively now. Wish we had here at an earlier age as she has just been the best and sweetest dog:)

[@uktony1525]

She looks like a real four legged friend.

[@deakemarschall2992]

Great build. Looks almost bullet-proof. But come on, show us the bloopers. We all know you took a header or three on the first runs. :)

[@homesteadonomics]

hahaha... my co-worker wanted me to ride it with the welding mask on... not sure if you've seen that video but there is a major blooper in that one. But actually I never did crash really bad... a few stumble offs but nothing crazy:) But this probably wont be the only 'wheeled' thing I make... so maybe a good blooper will come up soon enough....lol:) joe
