This tutorial will show you how to get a view from under a skateboard while in motion

You Will Need

  • * mini tripod $5
  • * mini make up mirror $0.50
  • * crappy skateboard from a garage sale $5
  • * miscellanious wood pieces free
  • * tech deck skateboard or other toy mini skateboard $5

Step 1

get your skateboard and make an “L” joint out of the misc. pieces of wood
hot glue the “L” joint onto the upper left of the truck (metal piece that holds the wheels)
on the bottom part of “L” joint superglue a makeup mirror (glue a pencil behind it if you need support)
glue a tech deck under the “L” joint so it is on the ground (the tech deck should be at ground level)
tie some twine/string to the “L” joint and the skateboard so that the tech deck is still touchin the ground but has less preasure on it
after that just add glue to unstable places and your done.
remember i just built this from stuff I found around the house
you can alter this design to your liking.
