I decided to share this project with you even though I didnt take any photos of its first steps ,Yet I am posting the photos of 90% of this project hoping this would be helpfull .
I used 3 sheet of ply wood to make the Skate body and pressed it with weight to get it into Arc shape (as per first few photos).
I have also used a tin sheet metal from an old cabinet drawer to enforce the Kiteboard top and bottom .
Then I ran a 2" leafspring sheet on the bottom portion of the board tip to tip to work as a shock absorber.
you are right ,I also see it as such "a DirtBoard"
Close enough
I got them from an old Forklift engine ,but I had to expand them a bit pass the elastic point to gain more blank space in between the sprig rings, I did it because it was too hard to steer back into straight position ( I weigh 95 kg ) and these springs stores enough energy to do the job , they worked like a charm
thanks for viewing my project,hope you find it good
As per step-by-step instructable,Well, It was planned this way,but for some reason I spent more than 7 hrs and 6 attempts to Upload the photos and every time I upload a good number of them something goes wrong with the network and send me back to the blank upload page ,
So I went on and published what I found saved in my library with some or no comments at all
Anyhow I am willing to answer any question .
