It Rides!

Altus Longboards has made a huge step forward today. We finally slapped a pair of trucks on a longboard and took it for a spin, and it feels great. The board itself hasn't been finished, and still has to be finished with a file and fine sandpaper. After that, we will stain it, spraypaint it, and seal it with polyurethane. All that's left after that is to purchase a setup and grip the board, and it'll be ready to set up!

We also finally decided on a design, but we're not gonna be revealing the actual design on the bottom of the board until we bring it to class sometime next week, because it will be completed then. We're experimenting with the design on the bottom of the board that we misdrilled. Here are some pictures from this week.

The beginning of the practice paint job:

Altus Board's first test ride:

We're gonna be working almost all day on Sunday, so hopefully we have a board ready to sell by next week!
