After taking the Longboarding March Intensive my junior year
(which I extremely enjoyed) . . I am excited to be back for another great
experience (round two)! After missing a
day of March Intensive due to a called snow day I was extremely anxious to get
the building of my second longboard under way.
Before this March Intensive started, I had already been looking for
possible designs and shapes for my longboard and today I decided upon a surf
board like shape (except it has a bit of blunt nose). After constructing the template for my longboard
. . I had to make numerous changes in
order to stop a common issue in the construction of longboards, wheel bite. This is when the wheel makes contact with the
board and the board comes to a stop and you don’t . . results can be dangerous J. Besides this the biggest obstacle that I have
faced would be making my longboard symmetrical.
I am looking forward to day two and will start planning my helmet
contest design (gonna be great!).
