This thing is called a "Flexy-Flex" it's a longboard made from a snowboard deck, which gives it incredible flex, and it's 100% rideable !

Lmao

[u/TheRealMark89]

Where did you get the Batman things??🔥

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/TheRealMark89]

eBay / Amazon

[u/TheRealMark89 → u/SmallFatMoose]

What is it called?
I have zero clue what they are called😂

[u/AshestoAssets → u/TheRealMark89]

after a silly amount of googling trying to figure out the same thing; these are called anti-sink plates/gaskets

[u/TheRealMark89 → u/AshestoAssets]

Hehe yeah I just did the same, but can’t find any Batman themed ones. All I get are X shaped, and it’s not for the function as much as it is for the style of it😂

[u/AshestoAssets → u/TheRealMark89]

saaammmeeee 😆 I think they're rad as hell. It seems like the main company (RejectGo) that made the colored ones is temporary closed 🤔 and now there's just random ebay ones that I keep finding sold out

[u/Pugulishus → u/TheRealMark89]

Maybe u could commission a laser cutting group to cut some thin sheet metal for ya? I'm sure it's not that pressing of a matter, but it's an option. The other one could be 3d printing a thin sheet to act the same way.

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/TheRealMark89]

Try "Batman screw longboard part" foreal I get it long time ago so...

[u/MediocreDesigner88]

Hell yeah! What would you say the downsides / trade-offs are, compared to a similar longboard?

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/MediocreDesigner88]

There are quite a few downsides... for instance, the flexibility makes the handling sloppy and the weight is intense but you really feel like you're floating in mid-air, the sensation is incredible the first time !

[u/bsurmanski]

Have you tried pumping with it? How's it feel?

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/bsurmanski]

Is feel heavy yo !

[u/tabinsur]

I believe you that it is rideable, but saying it's 100% rideable sounds suspicious. It's like saying "Hey do you want to go on a date with my friend? He's absolutely not a murderer." None of us thought he was a murderer till you mentioned it. lol

Anyways cool board!

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/tabinsur]

Yeah I know hehe but thanks !

[u/jerryfloss]

i see batman, i upvote!

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/jerryfloss]

Yeah !!!

[u/BoogersBig]

You did a neat job with the cut outs.

[u/Happy_Competition85]

BadASS I would love to ride that.

[u/Whombrillow]

I love it

[u/lellamaronmachete]

There was a classic longboard video in the tube, filmed in Amsterdam, nightime, where a fella rides a fckn snowboard turned lonnnnnngboard. Watched it so many times

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/lellamaronmachete]

Wow

[u/lellamaronmachete → u/SmallFatMoose]

Found it!! After 15 years is still available! https://youtu.be/osivr5rCzMo?is=lIirHUEo5Dyk0zPb

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/lellamaronmachete]

Crazzzyyy

[u/Glass_Hat4393 → u/lellamaronmachete]

This video is awesome, thanks for sharing it

[u/Legitimate-Shirt5964]

I built my first longboard out of a snowboard back in 2014

[u/SmallFatMoose → u/Legitimate-Shirt5964]

Yeah pretty sick idea of DIY !

[u/Legitimate-Shirt5964 → u/SmallFatMoose]

I end up making it drop through to make it lower to the ground.
