CARDBOARD SKATEBOARD!

in the past I've made a surfboard [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I've made a snowboard [Music] I've made countless finger boats but there's one thing that I've never made which almost seems like I should obviously make but I've just never gotten around to it and that is a scooter [Music] I've seen so many requests for me to make a skateboard and I don't know why I haven't done it yet but not just any skateboard I'm gonna try make this board out of cardboard I know people have already done this like every third first day and Braille but one they did on every first day they had actual skateboard stuff to make it I don't I just have a couple skateboard decks and some cardboard from the shop down the road first thing we're gonna do is go get cardboard because we need that to make a cat board skateboard made it to the cardboard store no one expects anyone to steal cardboard boxes which is great because it makes them so easy to steal we got to try to make the whole thing only out of cardboard and resin these are all corrugated cardboard boxes so they have corrugation going in this direction so I'm thinking four layers off the grain going this way and three layers with the grain going that way hopefully give us some strength I have no idea if this is gonna work [Music] and here we have all the letters gonna glue all of these together then stick them in between two skateboards to give them the shape and these are the two boards that I'm gonna use to press them together this is actually a skateboard blank it's just kind of been sitting in the garage for a long time [Music] knows all the layers of the board we're gonna use its kind of dummy thick the board was a little bit too thick it didn't really compress to the shape at all turns out that this kind of cardboard is designed not to compress so I'm gonna take out two of the layers and see if that helps [Music] done everything that we can to put enough weight on it to press it down with all the stuff way over the house it's not really working how I thought it would so I think I'm gonna go down to the store get some thinner cardboard and then press another deck as well I bought three of those cardboard sheets and it ended up costing me over $40 damn boy that's some expensive ass cardboard boy [Music] five all of these offcuts of fiberglass were making this surfboard and since I have them a corner might as well incorporate them into this cowboy skateboard to add some strength to it because I feel like this won't be strong enough [Music] and while we wait for the board to dry I'm gonna go for a little sketch because here in New Zealand we're out of lockdown and or allowed to do this [Music] [Music] this guy's gonna have to do the pump check on a Segway do it bro do it oh it's working yeah you want to race running race I bet I can be okay this lamppost let's pull this down here yeah I'm gonna run are you only escape I'll beat you to easing it oh my goodness what are you looking at because if you're looking at me we're gonna have a problem buddy hey guys again holy crap [Music] this one this one turned out way better than I thought I was gonna feels pretty strong [Music] [Music] after a morning of searching skateparks there no one happened finally found one that only has a couple people at it lives also here by the way tips give this a go do you think I could break that know what happened yeah I didn't really expect the sport delight very long at all and it didn't now it's time to try the bullet that I think is gonna last a little bit longer yeah me too oh I really just want to get a kickflip on this [Music] it survives the first test [Music] okay I'll try kickflip if I land this kick and it doesn't break the bullets made of cadboard by the way if you're wondering the way to bear what it was like right [Music] [Applause] [Music] the kickflip the shove it was too much [Applause] [Applause] and on that terrible disappointment back to the house just so I was really hoping that this board with us like I had confidence in this one but no do you think I know the floor and the design if you look at this kind of cardboard it has a shiny top layer and a shiny bottom layer it's just those parts peeling up from each other so I think I'm gonna try to do this again but what's the material that doesn't peel apart from each other I believe that I've made the best cup of skateboard that I've ever made I found a new material that won't peel apart introducing the cardboard skateboard made of wood wait usually out load a lot more consistently but for some reason this video took so long to make new videos coming real soon subscribe tell them Jesus hit that subscribe button yeah yeah yeah okay this is applying funny that's it like this sort of stuff like internal what they use in the interior of a plane nah no this is just cowboy box Oh [Music] you know you know what's going on me [Music] it's
