# Penny Board 16MAR2021 ![[Pasted image 20240523001259.png]] So I almost broke my leg on this thing after having made it just 4 hours prior. That being said look at this thing and at how pretty it is. It veers to the left a little because I messed up the drilling process, thus we thank the gods of impatience and chant our mantra "Cut twice measure once." ![[Pasted image 20240523001502.png]] This one was pretty spendy: - $10 - Ikea footrest - $60 - trucks - $20 - Dimond purple spacers - $30 - wheels - $15 - bearings - $?? - griptape (not bought yet) - $135 total So here I was walking around town thrifting when i see this little shitty footrest that was just four aluminum legs screwed haphazardly into this beautiful piece of wood. Immediately I knew it was destined to be a penny board (for those of you that don't know what a penny board is, it's a really short skateboard.) ![[Pasted image 20240523001850.png]] ![[Pasted image 20240523001909.png]] ![[Pasted image 20240523001915.png]] ![[Pasted image 20240523001923.png]] ![[Pasted image 20240523001931.png]] ![[Pasted image 20240523001939.png]] I should've waited to find parts for cheap online instead of just going to Zumiez. It would be a waste of money if this thing wasn't so damn cool looking and fun to ride, however I am still resting my ankle after a week so I'll practice on the carpet for now. 8/10 would recommend
