ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

Skullboard Prototype

Here's some pics of the Skullboard Paul, from Norfin, and myself have designed and built. The tail fin is made from Polypropolene, and there is enough flex in the board to apply the brake pad firmly to the ground simply by arching your back and applying pressure to the "wing" of the tail fin setup.(Bit hard to lay on the board and show the amount of flex and take my own pics...lolol)
We're in the process of getting more imformation and contacts from Europe, and in particular Claude Gesta, so I'll transfer this info when I get it, to anyone who wants to give it a go.

Skullboard at Newton's!!!!!! Yeehaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make the wing wider so u can chop off skaters legs as you go by.

lololol....thought about that, Kanufi, but the skaters I ride with I like, and besides, some of them are short enough as it is...:)

Looks interesting! Do you ride it with your arms by your sides like the skull in the winter olympics or do you rest on your elbows like a bodyboard?

There's so much stuff out there just waiting for someone to make it. Have you taken it up to speed yet and tested the archback brake.

Both Steve, depending on the road. Straights are by the side. but turning is best by holding the front. Like you said, virtually like bodyboarding.
