Reviving an old thread w/ a bit of a story
Most are surprised when I say the 2nd film is my least favorite of the trilogy. However I’ll admit, it’s been growing on me the more I watch the movie.
With that being said, or rather written, I didn’t want to invest much with BTTFII props. BUT I’ve been skateboarding for about 20years now.
So far I’m have both the 2015 and 2019 version of the Madrid decks. I also made a 1955 version with accurate metal roller skates awhile back. And that’s what made me want to tackle the Hoverboard. To complete my BTTF trilogy skateboard set.
I won’t bore with blank photos of the deck w/ the stickers removed. Just wanting this to look better, not necessarily 100% accurate.
The modes so far:
New foot pad. (The circles in sharpie are leftover gunk.)
Drilled the hole for the handle bars and inserted a black cap:
(Again, paper just cover gunk for the time being.)
Repainted footpads w/ battery:
Black/Colonial Red/Rub-n-Buf/ and Eggplant for the battery.
Should look pretty cool once put on:
Ill clean up the deck more then fill the holes. After that it’ll be in limbo until the other materials show up.
Stay safe out there RPFers.
