ok .....not a real skater but the effect is the same and it takes about 20 min to make.
1 piece of wood......i used fiberglass board
2 skate board trucks with wheels (new wheels much better)
4 bolts
2 locknuts
2 nuts with nob
1 big nut for tripod head
drill and bolt each truck with lock nuts (tight)
in the opposite corner of the truck drill through as you keep turning the truck to make the curve that the trucks will follow
then bolt through with bolt and nut with nob
Find the center of the board and drill a big hole fot the tripod
done.
makes nice curve pans, straight dolly moves, almost free, you can ride it if you have to!!
