This build got a facelift! My GF graduated from the short deck and 6354 motors that kept overheating in VERY rough terrain, so we build a new board for her (with a sick new deck in our DIY mould, keep your eyes peeled for the build thread!) and gifted this one to her father.
As crazy as it seems, the 60yo man loved the idea of eskating, tested it and wanted one right away “for chill rides with you guys”. He really likes the steampunk aesthetics so…
A LOT of sanding, red/black stain, mineral pitch, copper paint…not a mountainboard anymore, but a urban carver/garage queen. Really pleased with how it turned out!
His face was priceless!
