- Hey guys!
I hope you enjoyed my video on how I cut down my scooter decks. I’ve cut down a lot of scooter decks and I thought it would be a good idea to make a video about it so people could see how I cut down my decks.
In this video I have skipped over a lot of the little details, like filing and sanding down any sharp edges. I did this to help keep the video shorter. If I skipped over any details that you may have had questions about, make sure to comment and I’ll try my best to answer any of your questions.
If you thought that this video was helpful please leave a like and please share this video with others.

Nice to see someone doing a decent job of it!
hillmanimp89 thanks so much! Really appreciate that.
I know I’m a little late but is that the trans black pandemonium or matte black:)
This is the trans black pandemonium deck
When is the next time your going to centerville it’s like my local like it’s 20 mins away from my house
I usually try to make it up there every couple of days or so. Ill probably be up there this Wednesday. Hope to see you there man!
What size Drill did you use for the spacer holes ?
I use a 3/8 drill bit. Then I file/sand the inside of the holes to make sure they are a perfect fit for the spacers. If this was a normal deck, where the spacers did not actually go into the deck, then you wouldn’t have to use such a large drillbit.
Thanks im cutting my 19.2 down to 18.5
Heck yeah dude! Hope it goes well. Definitely let me know how it turns out. Or if you post a pic on insta definitely tag me, I’d love to see it and repost you
hello can i ask what size off the drill u use for the final hole
For the axel size, since ethic uses a unique spacer system, i finished with the size (3/8)
but normal scooter axels size is (5/16) so if your drilling the axel in basically any other deck, you'll use size 5/16
and for the break hole I use the size 3/8
What size drill bit did u use for the final hole's
For the Ethic deck i used the size 3/8. (i also used a round file to make the spacers fit easily in.) but for a normal scooter deck without spacers that go into the deck, the size would be 5/16.
@@ChaseRost nice one bro
What is the foot space when its cut and do you find it to small
cam simpson when cut down to 19.5 inches long, the foot space is reduced to 13.5 inches. Lil tight but was good for me
What size drill bit for the brake ??
I believe it is slightly larger than the axel size which would be a 5/16. So if i am remembering correctly, it should be a 3/8 drill bit for the ethic brakes.
What size drill bit did you have to use for the axle since Ethic has that special spacer design ?? Because I am cutting my ethic down also
I use a 3/8 drill bit. Then I file/sand the inside of the holes to make sure they are a perfect fit for the spacers.
Chase Rost thanks 🤙
How did you mesure where the axle hole has to be?
There are two main ways, the basic and less accurate way is to just hold up the old drop outs and then start drilling based on how it lines up.
but The best way is to use a caliper and measure the existing axel holes.
The steps i take are:
Step one: measure your axel hole size. This should be 8mm or 5/16 inch. you then want to divide this in half. so it would = 4mm
Step two: Measure from end of deck to front edge of axel hole
Step three: add first measurement (4mm) plus second. this with get you the center point of how far the axel should be drilled into the deck.
Next we need to find the vertical measurement:
Step one: we already know this step so 4mm
Step two: Measure from top of deck to top edge of axel hole
Step three: add first measurement (4mm) plus second. this with get you the center point of how far vertically the axel should be drilled into the deck.
Now for an example. on Rapture Pro scooter decks:
The first measurement (this is how far we are going to drill the hole)= .4 inches
the second vertical measurement = .512 inches
Hope this helps, definitely lmk if any of that is confusing
@@ChaseRost Thank you that defenetly helps a lot! I apprechiate the answer. Unfortunatley I still have some problems figuring out how high the axlehole has to be.
Does iT snap faster when its cut
As long as the cuts are made smooth and not jagged it should last just as long as the original deck. (If not maybe even a pinch longer since your taking down the length, which actually takes leverage off the headtube)
how do you really make sure where to drill the axel hole? and if you dont put it in the right place wont you not be able to put your axel through the spacer?
You gotta make sure that the back end is squared off perfectly at 90degrees. if you don't have a drill press to drill your axel holes perfectly straight, then you will need to measure the back end with a caliper (or ruler). reference your decks original axel holes before to find the center point and then remark it on your new fresh cut deck.
Nice video! 👍👍🤙🤘
JL STUNTS Thanks man!
What are the drill bit sizes ?
for a normal scooter deck with a standard axel it would be 5/16ths or 8mm. but for the ethic pando decks, they use special spacers so it needs a 3/8s and a small circle file to fine tune them in.
What was the original size of the deck
Joseph Martinez if I’m remembering correctly, it was like 21.5” long.
Sick vid
Thanks man!!! 💯
I KNOW THIS WAS LONG TIME AGO BUT HOW YOU CUT DOWN A BOXED DECK A LITTLE IF YOU WANTED

The*

Can I just give you my deck and money cuz I can’t do this 😂
You sure can. I usually charge $45 to cut down decks, Depending on the deck. feel free to Dm or private message me. My insta is @Chase.Rost
Can I send my deck to you so u can cut it
you sure can! if you'd like to Dm me on instagram @chase.Rost we can talk about the details.
I don’t get what I’m supposed to measure can anyone tell me
which part are you meaning to measure? the deck length or the axel holes?
Chase Rost you sped up the process of making the measurements for cutting down the deck and now idk what to measure to cut it down
TRITON_ThndrNxck When measuring the length of the deck, you want to start at the nose blunt plate. Measure down to the length that you want to ride. For me personally I ride 19.5 inches long. Once you put the Mark at the distance you need. Then you use your right angle ruler to make a straight line on the back of the deck. This is how you will cut your straight line to make sure the back end of your deck is perfectly square
Chase Rost ok so let’s say I take off like 3 inches on the back of the Deck do I have to cut off 3 inches of the brake part too?
TRITON_ThndrNxck yes, you called it. It’s best to pre measure and make your marks or better yet take measurements beforehand of your deck so you can move your brake cut out accordingly to your new back deck cut. You can use a piece of paper to lay over your uncut deck and then sketch/scribble Over the paper to reveal the lines of the deck. You can then use this as a blueprint for once your deck is cut
can you cut down my frame for me please
I'll give it a go! 😂
Can I have your old deck?
Evan Holm the reason I was cutting down a new deck was because my old deck was cracked.
Can I have your old deck
It's cracked all other the place. Thats why I had to cut down another.
Chase Rost ok
What size drill bit did u use for the final axel bolts
for a normal scooter axel it would be 5/16ths or 8mm. but for ethic pando decks, they use special spacers so it needs a 3/8s and a small circle file to fine tune them in.
@@ChaseRost and the bigger in centimeter?
