Make one with four casters in-line like the Timberwolf. Better for cruising. I will build one with two boards and parts of two Streetsurfing Wave Rider (the wooden one)
How is the handling and weight compared to a normal ripstik? I feel like it might feel more loose on the rotation, especially since it doesn't have a rotational limit.
It is a little looser than a normal one, but it rides and handles pretty much the same as one. Even though it doesn't have a rotational limit, it doesn't feel like it will go to far, probably because have the counteractive motion your legs do.
Thanks! It certainly is possible to curve the ends so you could ollie via steam bending. I didn't have a set up for that, but it can be done. Glad you liked it!
@@CalebsFineWoodworking I'm very interested in seeing how it holds up with use, assuming you intend to do so. There's a commercial wooden caster board, but it's gotten mixed feedback. streetsurfing.com/products/wave-rider-abstrakt If you put grip tape on top and modified the tail, you might be able to sell it
Send one to the BRAILLE team
Now you need to make a wooden Pogo Stick 👌
I'm not so sure about that one😅...
I was thinking of making a rip surf out of wood, and they use the same wheels. Do you remember where you got those exact wheels?

This is HYPE
Thanks man!
That looks cool and I'm surprised it worked! I wonder if it's possible to make a gradually elevated tail like a skateboard so that you can ollie?

Can you share the measurements as well
Hats off you stayed vertical, I wouldn't stand a chance on one of those .
Thanks! They certainly do take a lot of practice to get the hang of.
