Quite a cool and easy make and fun to ride (short distances anyway). It is stable enough to ride on (look at the pics)

sorry for the quality of the pics

REMEMBER it doesnt have to be a skateboard

I fail to see how this would work. Cardboard? Really?

A long time ago I mounted 8 free spinning chair casters on a small piece of plywood. It was pretty deadly.

how small was this piece of plywood
Jan 3, 2010. 4:23 AMbenthekahn says:
 A little larger then the average skateboard.

sandwich paint stirring sticks in between cardboard for the ultimate unbreakable un stoppable cardboard-skateboard

Hey, good idea! I'm gonna have to try this next time I run across some random wheels. I have a question about how it rode: how was the turning? good/okay/don't point it at anything you don't want to hit?

You sir deserve a round of applause. This made me laugh so hard. + for you!

good job, i never would have thought of even trying that!

lol, that's so silly. I wanna see a video.

Just duct tape a few more pieces of cardboard together, that should add some strength to it.

I've always wanted to make a hippe board. Just a board with wheels would be fun.
Jun 23, 2007. 1:28 PMNdawg says:
I really like this idea. I think im going to try this sometime
Jun 23, 2007. 12:44 PMAar000n3y says:
I would never get on it. Cardboard is not a good material to make a skateboard out of.
Jun 23, 2007. 1:28 PMbumpus says:
maybe not cardboard but poster board is good
Jun 24, 2007. 1:11 PMAar000n3y says:
Of course you can. You take a hammer to a desk, rip off a piece of wood, you take some screws from it, and screw some wheels from a chair on to the bottom of the wood. And Bumpus, posterboard is even worse. Barely any stronger than printer paper.
Feb 29, 2008. 8:34 PMMad Anthony Wayne III says:
i think what bumpus might mean is the poster board like that used in elementary school science fairs and such.
Feb 29, 2008. 9:13 PMAar000n3y says:
Still, barely any better.
