    When I did longboarding I screwed a piece of cutting board to leather working gloves from the inside. When the screws wore through the plastic it made for nice spark effects with the unwanted side effect of the screws getting hot and burning your palms. 😅 Solved that by gluing another piece of cutting board on top of the other. When it wore through I just pried it off and glued another.
    Anyway, if anyone consideres making slide gloves, the dirtier the better. They are going to be dragged through dirt and asphalt. 😃 The bigger the puck the longer they last. Yours looks like the fancy and expensive ones you could buy, so well done!

    Slide tips:
    1. Don't grab between your legs
    2. Keep your weight on your toe or heels depending on the slide until you've hooked up again
    3. hookup when you're still crouched

    I made some using basically the same technique, except I used recycled milk cartons and melted and cast the pucks into mini square-shaped heat-proof casserole dishes. It was quite a lot of work and pretty hectic working with the molten HDPE but they turned out pretty good, although they were a lot thicker which made them heavy, but they last longer.

    1. Thank you for making this video. Saved me from explaining another Amazon package to my wife.
    2. Do you think you could have skipped most or all the planing/finish sanding by just using the heat gun or a torch to smooth the texture?

    • @GoodRoads
      @GoodRoads  3 роки тому +1

      No problem! And yes, you can totally skip most of the post-processing I did on the pucks

    I'm a maker, just recently getting into longboarding (working on building an electric board!) Few weeks ago I took a nasty fall around 20-25mph, no pads besides a helmet... Miraculously no breaks/fractures, but I wasn't walking for a couple days and the road rash is still healing, especially RIGHT where some pucks would've come in real handy (pardon the pun lol)... These gloves should probably be my next project 😅 Thanks for the vid, I'll def be checking out your channel!!

    Put more weight on your hand and less in your feet, so you can control wheel lock up with delicate weight adjustment. Also not holding the board with your off hand gives you more range of movement to adjust weight :) great video! Great idea sewing the Velcro on too - will be doing this myself. I just glue-gunned some chopping board cutouts on in the past and they end up quite clunky so gonna Velcro this time!

  • @Jjjcs
    @Jjjcs 3 роки тому +4

    Thanks master! You reckon the glue from the Velcro to the glove is safe enough? Or would it be safer gluing it with say contact adhesive?

    • @GoodRoads
      @GoodRoads  3 роки тому +1

      I think the adhesive on the velcro would work alright but contact cement would 100% do the job. That stuff is beastly

      I like having the finger pucks, you don't have to think as much about how you;re putting your hand down. I've never seen wrist pucks and I don't think I've ever put my wrist down so that seems less useful to me

      You 100% don't need a planer. You can use whatever surface comes on the cutting board and it all gets roughed up by the asphalt anyway, it'll still slide great. I just went a bit over the top with this one
