Make your Own Indo Board – Go Green & Recycle old Skate decks and Bottles

So here is a simple recipe to make a cheap balance training device using some things you can probably find lying around the house or garage..
All you will need to get you started is:
simple enough eh?
Now just fill the 2 liter bottle with water, lay the deck across it and voila! you have your very own ghetto indo board….
It is definitely not as safe or durable as the actual thing, but it can be surprisingly fun and easy to make.
so you might be thinking once that bottle is filled with water it will explode under the weight of you and the deck, but you would be surprised. I have seen many hefty blokes try it out and to this date never seen one rupture. Just make sure you switch out bottles every so often and use water inside so that if it does somehow burst you won’t have a huge coca cola stain on your rug.
But as a word of advice
BE VERY CAREFUL!!
THIS IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN AN INDO BOARD
UNLIKE THE INDO BOARD THE DECK DOESN’T HAVE SAFETY GROOVES ON THE BOTTOM SO IT IS REALLY EASY TO FALL ON YOUR FACE IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL..
Many times I’ve have seen a deck go shooting out against the walls and other peoples ankles.. so if you do decide to make one of these USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK and only use it in a room or area than you don’t mind things being broken..
besides that have fun and start pissing off the people on the floor below you…
Cheers!
we are going to make one for the office and post some videos/pictures of us all eating it hard… stay tuned….
