just built a tandem inline butt board curved, 2100mm long, 300mm wide, but 475mm if you include foot and hand rails.
With me and my mate combined weight 160kg+.......this thing flies. We have hit speeds close to 100kmhr, We'v had to totally rethink how to ride the board. Its pretty much the same as ridding a single butt board except the pillion mustn't break unless the front rider starts double breaking. The bloke at the front is literally at the controls; Approach speed in to corners and when to lead with the inside leg,the pillion follows suit plus helps with leaning but not breaking. Have 70mm wheels 83a, with ceramic bearings with 100 duro bushes, two trucks only. Its incredible when you get it to slide in tight corners. Have a small head rest so the pillion can see a little over the front rider. Weight distribution is 60/40 to the front when flying but that can change up to 40/60 (which is dangerous) when double breaking. The front rider mustn't sit up above speeds of 30kmhr.
It corners surprisingly well and holds a straight line with small leg input from the front rider to correct the line. Still a few creases yet to iron out. All going well hope to have a video clip up next weekend. Im planning to put a pillion on the back that has no experience in ridding,with a few instructions on Do's and don'ts Im sure they will like it.....couple of slow runs at first.
