MountainBoard (MB) & MB-Longboard Hybrids: Custom Assmemblies / Builds

MountainBoard-Longboard Hybrid
June  14, 2013

I put this together for my son who has an injured left ankle (4 surgeries).  He loves it ...


Thanks to my SD bruthas MarkBrosnan and Brennig for the wheel suggestions, Bennet Alligators and Abec 11 Gumballs.  My son chose the Abec 11 Gumballs, 76 mm x 75 A.


MBS Jeep Rennegade deck and MBS ATS trucks (15.75" axles).

Deck surface without fiberglass skin.



Deck with double layer of 4-oz S glass plain weave over cotton print (S-glass is not as clear as E-glass).


Build progression from Baltic Birch Core, Aluminum tips and 6-oz X-Glass + 6-oz Carbon Fiber bottom.
(Bottom was finalized with a 4-oz S-glass outer laminate to improve stiffness).
