Out of seven editions of Red Bull Ragnarok, 2017 really turned out to be a battle to remember. Contestants had to complete five laps in five hours, meaning the total distance was 130 kilometers – the longest course in the history of the event. Luckily the weather gods kept that in mind for the day, providing what the veterans describes as the best wind conditions ever, reaching almost 44 knots.
We have been talking about making this bicycle skateboard for a while now and after hearing big boy big begging me for the chance to finally make it this week we decided to give it a try! We started out with one of my old BMX bikes we took the wheels off and the sprocket and chain then we took a skateboard from my bike shop and cut it in half then bolted a set of fork mounts to the skateboard and then we rigged up a bicycle seat post from the fork tube to the skateboard and decided it was ready for a trial run! To our surprise it’s seem to hold up well enough to try some tricks on it! – Scotty Cranmer
