I got my board all set! Couldn't possibly get more bruised at present.

I'm gonna have to pick up some knee pads!

tom said...

I would think a helmet would be a better investment Dave, the ramp is 14" high for a reason :)

Ben said...

Or just pad the cell..

Dave-O said...

Then it will be like the dust bowl. I'll have to stay crouched all the time. Padding helps too! Dan, get your fruit boots dusted off and your Jenko jeans out of storage...I wanna see a royal with cheese out of you when this thing is done.

I was just going to let you know Dave, that I think I can find my wrist guards and elbow pads and knee pads..oh and my tailbone and hip protectors if you need them. I know you have to be careful.

BTW I dont have to dust off my jenkos...im wearing them now

How did you get that trany measured out?

tom said...

I layed out the plywood then tied a string to a pen trick. Kind of guessed on the length of the string as I was on probably my fourth beer by this point, but for how small it is I think it'll be smooth and fun. Guesstimate-3'6"?

beesa said...

I must do also.I have an ass load of wood at work fo free.Thanx to Osh truc.Break the northern blues commin on.

Coping or no coping? I'm sure we could dig something up at the shop

tom said...

hey, I know someone who works at osh truck that has a BSA! He has a big heated garage as well...

Prob use PVC coping due to it being so much quieter (this is in my house btw).

didn't get anything done on it tonight. May be this weekend before the next push...

I'll wear them Dan! And to be honest, I had some big jeans like jnco's around 92-93 when the big pants small wheel craze was happening in skateboarding. I think they were size 54 waist Oshkosh.

tom said...

You cats are Killin me . . . looks neat Tom, I managed to accidentally miss the baggy jeans/micro wheels phase . . . thank the God of fat bastards that classic vert sticks came back in . . . agh, the tyranny of distance.

I spent my weekly allowance on new bearings and installed them just for your ramp Tom. Let me know when it's done.
