The components for the Longboard. Holey Trucks, Cadillac wheels, mini-logo bearings, enuff mounting hardware, xl skate risers, Mob grip tape and 4 sheets of 4mm ply for the board.

Our board press working well! Tightening down the bolts lowering the center of the board by about half an inch giving the board its shape.

Edges of the board clamped with the blocks at each end to curve the ends of the board slightly upwards

Cut out, the design of the board was from a Churchill template from silverfish longboard measuring 9"x41.75". And sanded.

Finished with grip applied.

So the board rides really well, excellent bearings and the trucks are great for carving. The wheels absorb the bumps in the road really well, almost reconsidered putting a motor on it!
