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

Parts
1) 2 pieces of cardboard (Shoulder-width long and foot-width wide for the skateboard, the same size as your footfor the rollerskates and however large you want the base to be for the cart. you might need more later
2) As many wheels as you have (or stolen from other people) from those (old or new) wheely office chairs(that spin). (I only had 3)

Tools
Pen (Measuring/Marking out)
Scissors/Knife (Stronger the better)
Tape (use the strongest you have/can find/can steal)

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

benthekahn in reply to foxtrot4697Jan 3, 2010. 4:23 AM

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?

Sorry, but ive taken it apart for another instructables. but the proof is in the pictures

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

PetervG says: Jun 23, 2007. 3:27 PM

I've always wanted to make a hippe board. Just a board with wheels would be fun.

ti112 (author) in reply to PetervGJun 24, 2007. 7:53 AM

make it your own. that's wot i say

Ndawg says: Jun 23, 2007. 1:28 PM

I really like this idea. I think im going to try this sometime

Aar000n3y says: Jun 23, 2007. 12:44 PM

I would never get on it. Cardboard is not a good material to make a skateboard out of.

bumpus in reply to Aar000n3yJun 23, 2007. 1:28 PM

maybe not cardboard but poster board is good

ti112 (author) in reply to Aar000n3yJun 23, 2007. 1:12 PM

Well i you cant get much stronger stuff in an office remember this is for the office supplies challenge

Aar000n3y in reply to ti112Jun 24, 2007. 1:11 PM

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.

Mad Anthony Wayne III in reply to Aar000n3yFeb 29, 2008. 8:34 PM

i think what bumpus might mean is the poster board like that used in elementary school science fairs and such.

Aar000n3y in reply to Mad Anthony Wayne IIIFeb 29, 2008. 9:13 PM

Still, barely any better.

ti112 (author) in reply to Aar000n3yJun 27, 2007. 2:10 PM

Look at the new pics now. Just one more piece of card board and I can skate on the board. Rollerskates made like this would be more stable even if you are not.
