The kiteboogie: keep your tush 7 inches off the ground and go way too fast

Step 3 Parts!

I could have got pretty much everything from my local hardware store, which is totally kickass--True Value in pasadena on Fair Oaks next to the 210. I spend half my waking hours there.
As it was, I put in a mcmaster order before I realized how much stuff the hardware store had.

Here's a list of parts I used:
4x 14" wheelbarrow wheels, 3/4" shaft
2x 3' long 3/4" shaft, general purpose carbon steel
8x shaft collars for 3/4" shaft.
4x 3/4" U-bolts with long (3") threaded ends
1x flange for 1" i.d. diameter threaded pipe
1x 1" diameter 2 inch long pipe nipple, threaded at both ends
1x flange for 3/4" i.d. diameter threaded pipe.
1x 3/4" diameter 4 inch long pipe nipple, threaded at both ends
3x 3/4" tee fitting
2x 3/4" diameter 7" long pipe nipple threaded at both ends
1x 3/4" inner diameter galvanized washer.
2x 2'x4' 3/4" plywood
2x 2"x4"x8' two by fours
8x 1" 1/4-20 bolts and nuts
a box of 1 3/4" wood screws
some 1/16" galvanized steel strips

All this came out to ~$100. If you have a decent junkpile you could probably do it for cheaper

I just realized that I have almost enough junk to build one of these. Fun fun fun!
