Looks really good. Just that spot towards the end with the sideways jerks when the girl is on the skateboard on her knees.

Did you build the sled only, or did you build an entire rig? Also, do you have any pics you can post of the rig?

Sorry about the quality, it's late and I didn't have a very good camera, or light and I felt kind of silly standing in front of the bathroom mirror but here's my rig. I'll take some better pics when I get it painted, and do some better video, I've only had the thing on three or four times since I made it.

Good looking stuff. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you to make?

 

[BrianMurphy]

Nice work!

 

[pmpworks]

Thanks!
Got the file smaller....13.8mb

 

[nvsurly]

Yes, awesome work! Smooth as silk. Makes me want to practice more!

Is it bullet proof?

 

[Endless_Static_Sea]

how much did it cost you, and...can you start mass producing these?

Is it bullet proof?

:thumbup: I'll have to test that.

how much did it cost you, and...can you start mass producing these?

It cost me actually about $80.00 at the fabric store and $15.00 at the bearing store for some brass bushings I couldn't find at work, everything else I got at work that was just scrap stuff laying around our shop (lucky me I guess). As far as mass producing these... maybe if I find some spare robots laying around to help me but I doubt that will happen. I did get it painted and will put the picks up in the DIY section.:dankk2:
