skateboard ghetto gate question

Looks good Iceman!!

I notice you used the 3" screws. I ended up not using those and just used the 2 inchers, but I also countersunk the hole in my HDPE board to allow me to do that.

The guys on the MC forums using this plastic handle on demand have noticed cracking around the bolts attaching the shelving brackets. For this reason, I ordered the all aluminum handle as others have done, and will have version 2.0 here soon.

I see you don't have a hole cut for the lever on the forward suction cup. Did you just cut the big part of the handle off?

Just cut some of handle off. Yes I lost mine in lake and will be upgrading to version 2 soon. Well worth it!!! Need a better suction cup and all aluminum will be the way I go too.

Another thing... you might want to put some lock washers on in front of your nuts so they don't back off while you're using it. I didn't have those on my lowe's receipt cause I had a whole box of them already that I used. Forgot to mention that.

V3 finished! All new design, aluminum alloy body, stainless construction, and better suction.

How much weight you running?

What are you all using for a shim I used a piece of 1" pine but the Velcro keeps coming off of it

I had the same issue, was going to try cutting a piece of plastic cutting board until I found the SUCKgate which is way better than the ramp IMO.

pretty much factory ballast but will probably upgrade to 750s in the rear and 1100 in the center. Don't know when. I think the backs are like 400lbs.
