i was just thinking about sticking mine on the front of my longboard.

i dont have money for more sticky mounts tho so i'd probably just tape it on. i think it'd look sick i might make one this week.

hmm maybe more tape would help. the stick i use when i use it for filming is just an attachment of a sticky mount taped on to a broken pole. it doesnt shake but i feel like it would be harder to make stable on a longboard.

More tape always helps.

i put the sticky mount on the bottom of my board. it was cool, but if the board flexed at all it would scrape the ground. with a stiffer board it would be super dope. here's the edit i made one day while it was on there:

The amount of shakiness most likely depends on he durometer of your wheels. With a harder wheel, say 86a, your going to get more vibrations which will cause the vid quality to be bad. With a softer wheel, it will work much better.

Bump...Just made this....i know it really sucks, but what im using now (not directly mounted to the board) is just a ski pole with the roll bar mount.

i kinda wanna figure out a way to mount it to the nose, so its looking under the board, and then like off the side of the board looking under/over..
any help appreciated, and ounce again, i know the edit blows...just wanted to do something today.

I'm going to try to make a wooden attachment that goes in the truck mounts and get longer hardware. That way it should be steady.
