I have just finshed making a custom snapdeck for my Xtracycle.
Its made from recycled marine plywood which I got by cutting up an old
tobbogan that has been under the house for decades. The colour of the
wood is natural. I have just added about 10 coats of marine grade
polyurethane, and topped it off with some grip-tape from the skateboard
shop. It's much longer than the original snapdeck which makes the bike
seem even longer. I have attached it with six cable-ties. I did it that
way because I want it to double as a sandboard for sliding down big
sand dunes, and this means the bottom must be smooth with no
protrusions. The clips on the bottom of the original snapdeck would
prevent that use. This way is just have a stash of cable-ties in my
saddlebag and whenever I want to use it as a sandboard I can just snip
the cable-ties and go for it. When I'm done it only takes a minute to
re-attach.
