Lightbulb A refreshing new idea for you o.g. Triple o.g's

I'm hopeing this will be a new idea for those if you tiered of of the same ol help me please questestions. I'm a new rider and I'm also a skateboarder. The other day I went to the park and strapped my board in a backpack. Yes! You guessed it, the wind resistance was a biiiaaatchh to say the least. I damnear was kite a fewtimes on the stretches in town lol. so I'm wondering if any of the great do-it-yourselfers have any ideas on a rack (removable preferred) for my four wheels to cruise without almost killing me. So if ideas are exploding within you please shoot them my way. Lol explode and shoot

There has to be a way to make a simple rack to attach to your grab bar or something.

I know they make backpacks that hide the board, too, but I'd think the board would be too long to sit comfortably.

lmao I know exactly what you mean. I don't even like riding with a regular back pack
because it blows me around all over the place.
You might need to strap the bag to the backseat area instead of wearing it.
That might work a lil more smoothly.

Sprock made a rack for his Mk2 1000F - You could easily make one a little longer using the same design to take your board.

I never would have imagined that Sprock would need to carry a skateboard. Just goes to show doesn't it?

I would have thought the simplest thing would be to just bungee tie it to the rear pillion seat lengthways.

We talking a normal size skateboard or one of the extra long type?
