following on from the 'thanks heaps RDM ’ thread …

 

 Well,  it is  not yet glassed , painted , gripdecked ,  'wheel-welled ', or tail skid plated ,

 

but … I got impatient …

 

… once the trucks were screwed on , that was IT !  I just couldn’t help myself !    [ …and … no wet road , sealed the decision for me  ! ]

 

it’s : - 10 “wide x 30” long

 

 Bamboo ply homemade skateblank  [  and Tracker trucks , and wheels ] supplied  by  'RDM ’  [ Rohan from Melbourne ]   thanks SOOOO much for delivering them to me on the weekend  , matey !  I feel a drainage ditch session coming on [ ? soon ?]   … YEWWWWW !!!
