Very cool.

Question on their brightness though, as I imagine, it would be difficult to tell by picture:
Does it have some bit of area that it lights up? Or is it more of an outline/for show to know where the board is?

Also, how long of a section did you by?
Any daytime pics of how you have it set up?

I bought a 15ft section but I only really needed 9ft for my board. As far as brightness, this is the thinner el wire so it just shows the outline of the board. If you went thicker, like up to 5mm that might help but I'm gonna supplement mine with LEDs later.

I'll take some daytime pics tomorrow maybe, but it's mostly just hot glued on, with some binder clips to hold it on better because the glue came undone in some spots from me accidentally hitting it while kicking.

This deck should be familiar to at least one other forum member, as that is who I got it from originally haha. I would throw long board trucks on it, but didn't want to pull my only set just for this, though it would probably make it a bit more of a familiar ride if it did have longboard trucks. Was more of an experiment than anything, and i was rather pleased/entertained with the outcome.
Also, only 3 bolts because I didn't measure twice, drill once haha.

But for my night light set up, I have just been too lazy to look up parts and such.

How is your El wire setup? What sort of battery connections or battery in general does it take?
When I finally get El wire and LEDs, I'm going to have some sort of battery box and switch somewhere.

The EL wire comes with a small 2 AA battery box that has a built in AC Inverter. I still want to add LEDs so I sorta wish I had gotten a usb to AC Inverter so that I could use a power bank with a splitter to power both, but I think I'll be okay with powering the LEDs with their own pack.

I can't wait to see how you set yours up. I was actually considering carving out a small groove for the wires to set in and sealed, as to avoid damage and wear and tear from elements. Just an idea. Similar ideas for "headlights" so to speak.

Haven't gotten the materials for everything yet, but I'll probably be creative when I do.

I have turned my old skate deck into sort of a cruiser though. Drilled holes in the nose and tail, wedged and spaced the trucks, and put my old longboard wheels on. A lot more flexible than my bamboo board surprisingly.
Went for a spin and handles rather interestingly. I can post some pics if people like.

Please do post.

I thought about grooving that edge, would be a terrific idea, but I would want to do it right, and I don't have a table top router.

Modern Skate and Surf in Royal Oak. 12 Mile and Stephenson.

Couldn't find the wheels on their website. I'll have to check into my local shop because it's not on their site either.

Longboarding puts much less stress on your body than skate boarding, assuming you're cruising, especially with a drop trough drop down deck since you're closer to the ground. I would def look into it :)

And Chubbs, are you in the ypsi area?

Just finally got a full setup and wondering if anyone on here longboards? I like just cruising mostly and some minor downhill.

My current setup is a Wefunk FR38 Deck on Bear trucks with Biggie Hawgz 70mm DIA, 76A Durometer wheels
and some unknown bearings(got all the hardware in a kit off eBay).

I'm also looking for a crew to board with. Either join one, or start one.

I know this is an Airsoft forum, but as stupid as this sounds, I trust my MiA peeps more than people from Facebook or other parts of the internet. Plus I figure if we all love Airsoft, we must have other things in common, enough so to be able to ride together?

Unless tragedy strikes, I'll be there. Playing green team, but I'll have my tan loadout if needed.

Hopefully, attendance spikes up before tomorrow, roster looking pretty low.

Yes, I'd like to see the IBH and the M16.

I will be attending this game.

Add me to Green Team.

EDIT: Nice! Woke up with a sore throat! Will still be there but potentially not the full day.

EDIT 2: Don't expect me. I feel terrible.
