trucks and wheels

Has anyone tried putting trucks and wheels on a wakeskate yet? Input. I'm gonna try it on an old LF 40. I taped it to skateboard and it felt real good. I was doing 180 slides and shuvs. After wakeskating a skateboard feels so small. It's time to hit the workshop, I'll get back.

Raven, I think youll have problems with the wheel catching the board when you turn, and not having eniugh room between the tail and the ground to get goo pop, if thats the case look into some pyramid risers for turning regular skateboards into dirtboards, CCS used to have em

If you put the trucks way out on the tips, it'll make for a bad ass longboard

I've seen it in an ad somwhere, someone was carving down a street on a cassette with trucks and wheels. kento's right, you may need to put bigger riser'r on it though

I just took her on her virvoyage. She powerslides like a beast, the pop shuv-it is there and I was ollieing over a small object(3-4"). I used big trucks, she never bit into the board and I left plenty of tail to ollie with. You guys got to make one of these, I was having so much fun. I'll sell you my patent for a small fee.

This looks like it would be a fun board:

problem I had was the board was so wide that when I turned (which was very hard) the wheels would rub against the board

That BMW board is really high tech, it has some kind of wicked crazy suspension that they put on some of their cars.
