- In this video Connor and I make a slammed, lowrider skateboard (siometimes called a hellaflush skateboard) the right way! This board uses risers that make the base plates one wth the deck, allowing for full steering and control just like it was a normal skateboard!

"...gives you turning as if it's a normal skateboard." with a serious case of ground bite?
They are popular for cruising around at car shows with. Not a commuter, not for doing tricks, just for riding at car shows and chatting with people. Nice video.
that thing is pretty sick, great job guys!
Glad to see you here brother!
Ok since there are so many comments of "why" we did this i thought id ld clarify, the way lowered skateboards came to be is from the import car scene where it is popular to modify your car most commonly by lowering it, and since people liked it they decided to try an lower an old skateboard, it turned out to be a pretty simple task and it became a growing trend. I made one myself as you saw in the beginning and it was super easy and an *interesting ride* (no turning whatsoever) and so then mike approached me with the idea that we shared in this video and we put it into action the board we made still scrapes (which is inevitable because even if the hanger contacts the deck it will scrape), and if you turn too hard will get wheelbite. But l have made a few modifications off camera. l fitted 72.5mm orangutang balut wheels which give me 6.25mm more clearance and im planning on modifying the wheel wells to be not only bigger but more of a trapezoid shape to help with wheelbite.
The force is strong with this one.
Neat! Always good to see family getting in the shop together. Cool build!
braille?
shut up
A low rider longboard would be more practical since you would have way more foot room and they come in various lengths. I saw a site where you can order blank decks fairly cheap too.
That’s how I’m doing my build
@@Luke-di9ps u done yet?
How is this better than a regular skateboard?
It's not. It's just funny!
It isn't, it simply is fun and cool looking
+Connor Wallis yer I made one but changed the design a bit so the trucks didn't get in the way as much and it feels so cool
cause looks like u sliding on the groundwith the board
doesn't look good at all hahaha
Awesome I took this video and made a board just like this. So happy I found this video it is so much better than the others I love my lowrider board.
Can u steer it
the smallest crack would send someone flying and wouldn't be able to do tricks on it it looks cool and you should send to braille skateboarding
Great project. That looks fun.
that's what I did to the rear suspension on my 88 pick up, since I can't afford air ride at the moment, great video!
Did you flip the leaf springs? Or did you put the axle on top
Hey can you do a more detailed verson of the hobo stove you made. I tried it it didnt work for me.
Found your channel from your website, I've got to commend you on having the transcripts and detailed photographs from your videos like that! I'm not exactly following the guide, but the info and theory you include is really helpful! I'll update you on instagram once I get properly started.
Thanks again!
I didn't see much steering going on there (think the kid kick-turned even)...just use your hardware guys, it'll be fine.
Go back to smoking your bowl dude. You'll be fine.
Maybe I will guy!
Even so, it looks cleaner than the bolts sticking out
"Our way is better because the trucks still work" But the board is too low to the ground to turn anyway
so...you're modding a street deck to have a pavement dragger when you lean at all?
couldn't you use dropthru drop-down deck with like 10° baseplates & 40mm wheels?
Form over function
i was going to hate on it, but damn it does look cool, and pretty fun
Agreed! It's bad ass!
Lol I skate and I went to a car show and saw one of these , I was confused and intrigued at the same time 😂😂
Well actually ALOT more than one 😂😂
Best design has seen I give it to you guys.
What size tubing for the riser
Would you take payment for one of these made to ship?
i've got a jigsaw, but no clue where I put it :P Would a dremel with a cutting wheel work?
Probably.
We made an awesome slammed lowrider skateboard this weekend, and it turned out awesome! This one is fully functional and rides like a dream!
this is stupid, you don't have room for feet!....
ok not stupid, but useless
but this one doesnt cruise that easily with out using your feet to push...
send it to the channel bralle skateboarding
can you do this with a long board i'd love to see how it turns out
if you thinking "why this?", you needa grow some balls and get into cars, then you will know
That's the funniest comment yet!
you drive a v-6
@@makuamallow3884 shut up
How long did you cut the tubing ?
As a die hard skate rat I hate to see a board cut up. But as a father I love seeing a fellow dad getting involved with his sons crazy lowrider skateboard. I gotta know though, did the yellow paint scrape a bit over small rocks?... Ether way, I dig it.... keep skating kid...
Is it grindable?
Attach a bit of scrap iron to the underside of the board to raise sparks. I think.
Ima do this with a longboard. Just need the parts
What size screws did yall use?
why not just make the deck a drop through with risers instead? that way you can raise it so it still turns
My Skateboard that I had years and years and years ago ha ha didn't look like that, how times have changed.Cheers and a Happy 4th July to you and your family. Barry (from England) PS GOOD VIDEO.
for some smith or feeble grinds would be cool lol
Dewalt XR range is the mutts nutts. But I.M.O think you should have made it not as low so get a tad more steering input but other than that great :)
gotta land bolts mah dude?
so cool!!! love seeing you son in the video!!
He's becoming more and more of a maker! Heck, he inspired this whole project with his prototype!
Hardware list?
My man could enter stancewars with this
and here i was riding a regular skateboard for 20 yrs! can you imagine ,, I must have looked like a complete idiot!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the tutorial!
How long are the screws you guys are using?
I think they were around 4 inches.
who would even want to ride this
Anyone who likes to have fun doing things different.
and getting stabbed in the ankle for trying to do basic skateboarding tricks haha, it was interesting to watch though
not all boards are for riding @seb
bahahaha no
Seb Judd wat
I made a lowrider myself. But the idea is that the wood is bent in a lengthwise concave. It's on my channel, if u are interested.
i have an 💡 what about some wheel walls
awesome! you guys should check out braille skateboarding mabye you could send it to them and they could do another video!
thats cool you guys do things like this together...i just dont see the point in having a lowrider board..
try doing that with a long board
You should bend the truck's a little for some camber?
Dad can we get a slammed Miata
No we have a slammed Miata at home
Slammed Miata at home:
Zaebis video!
Are Air Bags next?
you mean Lay's chips bag
Heaps sick ayyyy
Wait, no hydraulics or air bags? Gotta engineer some lifting power into it to make it a truly useful board... :-) Great job guys, it looks much stronger with the 1/4 bolts for sure.
I so wanted to do hydraulics on this sucker!
Bags are for groceries
I have the same trucks
I like the idea but have to agree with the comments it is no longer a skateboard it is a cruzer board it would be cool if you could do it to a pin tail long board with real long board trucks and wheels and improved the turn radius then i think you would have something but ive made one already and it looks cool but sucks when it comes to ridding around
where is the camber???
well i better like riding a landyachtz "switch" it´s low stabil and very hard to destroy....
What's the purpose of doing this? Does it ride better? Is it just for looks?
Just for looks, but it is fun to ride
If it peaked your interest that's it's only purpose. Just having fun in the shop.
+TheGeekPub I haven't ridden a skateboard in 25-30 years, but it was fun and informative to watch you guys modify and build this one. Also looks like a fun ride as long as the ground is flat and smooth.
*piqued
do not do this to a new revive board
Revive is a company targeted towards little kids plus their boards sorta suck
sure I like revive but their boards are nothing special compared to other boards
+deadbeatninja yeah I know but they have strong boards that if you probably try to cut it the board will probably crack,or it will break the blade is what I'm saying...
I'm not totally sure though. It's just my background of cutting tough wood..
landon andrus naw their not that tough but their okay
Nah man, decks from professional companies are almost all similar strenght. I've skated everything from Deathwish to Revive and they are all very good quality.
You should sell the hardware parts
You see those lowered civic? this is the cheap version for those who can only afford a board!funny but looks cool lol.
why wouldnt you just use a longboard for this its not like you can do much tricks on it anyway
Shouldn't the trucks be redesigned also? Flatter maybe?😊
Whaaaaaat??? Neat!
i’ve had one of these since 2012😂😂
what wheels did you use
h...wheels
85a peralta bombers
nice job man.
For haters: i drive this shit daily.
girls love this
But the board they made is practically unsteerable because the board is so low that if a person stands on it it will bent to the point where it touches the ground.
I think the video proves you wrong.
Jack Johnson it kinda looked like it was scraping, Not to mention it was on a flat surface and they didn't show much footage of it
The lower side will be scratched up tho
Just like on every skateboard. LOL. This thing is rad.
You should send that to Braille skateboarding there a cool channel that does you make it we skate it
Are you being sarcastic?
+Josh Kenowski no
Someone did send them one. Its on their youtube man.
+Josh Kenowski dam not seen that one need to look it up sorry man
+juniorbriandunn its dope dude. I can never tell if someones sarcastic or not online anymore.
i will put longboard wheels on it
I'm pulling up to the local car meet on one of these
Make these and sell them there So coOOL
Add a motor
looks liek it scrapes hard when turning.
rip to them independent trucks
I know man... $21 down the drain. Shit. I just realized my Taco bell order cost more than that last night. I think he can afford a set of new ones.
Hit a rock and automatically become Superman!
The size and diameter of the wheels remain unchanged. Scientifically speaking, a rock would affect it exactly the same as an unmodified board.
muito louco 😎👆
It kinda looks like a Hover board!
Couldn't you have just put bults under the base plate instead of the chube
but.........there's no advantage to this board
There is no advantage to red over blue either, but I like blue better.
Actually there's been studies which show red is more off putting than blue. Example, if there were two of the same exact store right next to each other and one was red and one was blue, most likely more people will go into the blue one because it's more inviting.
+MaTSix did we ask for a scientific explanation?
+Carl Wheezer no :3
+MaTSix Dawg. You missed the point so much that you're answer slapped your own mama.
DO A KICKFLIP
next thing it needs is to have the wheels at an angle so only 1% of the wheel is touching the ground :p
whats the point?
To have fun.
may i ask what the point of this is? its harder to do tricks, you almost have to be on flat ground, and it looks stupid.
The point is to have fun and try doing something unusual.
it goes sonic with the speed looks radical groovy muffins
Dropthrough is the right way.
it looks like an actual hoverboard
Why tho?
why not tho?
Hey guys don't be jackasses I right skateboards for a living. It looks fun and geek pub keep being awesome
Thanks for being a fan!
I ride boards for a job? Whats ur name?
Needs more low.
Needs bigger wheels. Otherwise, the fix is pointless. Which is why the original design that floated on the internet didn't bother with the risers.
We actually put bigger wheels on it after the video was finished. Thanks for the comment!
You will not get wheel bite
You will get road bite
This dude sounds exactly like the 8-bit guy what the fuck
Damn I can only imagine eating it an get those trucks all up in my shit.
It’s a real thing lol
huwheels
It's now a proven fact. Lowrider skateboards are way more awesome than regular skateboards!
LOL! I just wish I could have put hydraulics or bags on it!
OMG! That should be a future video!
its easier the other way!
why
See if tony hawk will buy it
why not just drill 4 holes on the lips of the board put the board lower
