My Esk8s. A journal of sorts

Winter had been pretty chill this year her in Missouri.
December was awesome. Got lots of riding in…
Well the past couple of weeks it actually showed up.

So tinkering keeps the mind busy.

Since I can’t be blowing money on real projects and build the Carver of my dreams I decided to do a silly little project.

I actually have a name for this one.

Little Danger Box.

Repurpose the Wowgo 2S and finally electrify the Waterborne Surf adapter.

This Thomas Hogan dude on Facebook rides around a mellow drive with the surf adapter and looked like fun.

And someone on here posted a picture of three killdozer decks. Real boxy beauties.
So I kind of tried to make a deck like that…
Probably looks more like a Meepo mini but whatever. I had fun with it just now out in the cold. Riding up and down the same block because most everywhere is wet/icy…

I got a Tgm blank old school deck 33x10.
And chopped it off on the nose and tail.

After a bit more shaping and sanding o painted the top Yellow and the bottom with truck bed liner spray… I love that stuff.

Since I did not cover the yellow top properly I had to paint it again.

The deck ended up at 28… I took off quite a bit I guess… Not sure I should have taken some of the tail off. 10 inches at the widest point and 9 inches down near the tail.
I think wheel base is 16…

I was really pretty happy with the shape and paint.

I painted the Wowgo enclosures with the truck bed liner as well.
Did I mention I love that stuff.

I had some left over black hexagons. Yeah yeah I know that is so 2018… But they make me happy.

On the first outing with limited places to ride since most of the roads are wet and icy I had one block that was clear and rode up and down and up and down and up and down… It was fun.
