or just bolt two together, route out inside for pouch cells.

The base of a snowboard is pretty slippy and I think most stuff would release off.

ok bolt 3 together and cut the whole middle out of the center one as well as routing out half of either, then use it for an electric snowboard

decks stuck together look weird cause they dont perfectly fit into each other (personal opinion)

I legit almost attempted this with the blemished markone decks that were going for $35 a pop.

It’s by design that we use longboard decks for longboarding and snowboard decks for snowboarding. To use a snowboard deck for longboarding would require you to mod it so much that it will end up like a longboard which defeats the purpose and it would be better to use a longboard.

Pretty sure he was just shipping them from some big supplier. @brenternet knew who but I suspect you could find them on Ali

Snowboards have a large surface area so they slide on snow, will be useless for esk8 unless you reinforce it so there’s little flex and have really loose trucks to turn, mo

Probably not quite what the OP had in mind but just for shits and giggles and of course science,
i have put this together for the forecasted snow we are getting this weekend.
Might make a thread if it all doesn’t end in tears.

If it doesn’t end up working out, try cutting the board in half or using some chopped up skis in just the front. I’ve been wanting to build this for a while now but don’t get enough snow to justify

How do you even turn with three trucks ?

My thoughts also. I hope the middle truck is a zero degree one.
