Skateboarding..

jeff hammond

here's a few projects i've designed/built... i'm highly dependent on sketchup for certain builds while others don't really require any drawings at all (though i'll usually give them a quick sketch anyway)...

i found some links on youtube for these things so you'll be able to get an idea of these products in use... i get a lot more detailed with my drawings but i can't necessarily share them on the interweb.. these views will do..

Indoor bowl - southern california..

framing example:

Indoor vert ramp/bowl - new jersey
i HEART soap skin bubble and really hope it doesn't disappear.

anyway, i'm new around here so this is sort of an introduction... thanks for looking..

Very interesting use of sketchup, the models look really nice. So you use the sketchup models as a design tool and build the projects from them? That's pretty cool. I'd really like to see some of the more detailed drawings if there are any you can share, do you do them in sketchup or cad?

Anyway, great work, welcome to the forums, look forward to seeing more of your work.

number 3 looks quite "interesting"! really cool models though, must be really useful for visualising the end product.

Jeff, this is really great! I have a son is really loves skateboarding. Might be fun to see what happens in SketchyPhysics?
