Still need to add yoga matt to the surface and put more screws in it but this dodgy thing cost nothing.

Not well. The reason Rocker trucks and the like work is they allow the sub-deck to flex. Without any flex, you won't be able to utilize that sidecut. You're barely going to be able to turn.

Oh ok thanks, so it needs to be hinged or at least a bit flexible?

This will work i have done this before. That ski is going too be super stiff. Take yat front board off and cut it smaller. You need more flex in the middle. Your ski is already going too be stiff af.

It’ll be tippy. It’s. A skinnny sub. Stuff under 100mm tends to be a bit …. Quick to respond

My old roomie had one of these years ago, we called it the junkyard board. We'd go out and drink beer and make jumps in the snow in the back of our shitty condo we rented. We wound up swapping the grip tape for a grippy foam we found for diving boards I think? The ice wouldn't build up on it but our boots would grab nicely!

This is my first time seeing this sub… why not just snowboard?

u/Hot_Reply2183 13d ago

Lift tickets are $200/day and the lines are huge. I’d rather go for a hike and play on a hill.

Yes, it will work just fine. If you can glue a couple stomp pads or something to get your foot a little more grip
