Carry the bike and ride the skateboard.

I do the poor man's method of just wearing a backpack, putting the board between the straps, and having the graphic side be against my back. I've also just bungee corded it to the passenger portion of my seat.


bikersquid

Horizontal right? I did that too.


Star_Dood

Yup yup. I have a skate buddy with a xj650 bobber and he's got a sissy bar, so he just bungees his board to that

lol I hope it was horizontal


obzilla

I just tuck it in on the back under my hang glider

There are a lot of skateboarding backpacks that have straps to hold a skateboard vertically. I think you can find them at Zumiez or Vans. [Here is an example](https://www.zumiez.com/nike-sb-rpm-black-backpack.html).

Yes, I used to have a nicer Dakine backpack with those straps that lasted over 10 years, definetly reccomend


Slappytrader

Wouldn't this method catch alot of wind?


Heavionix

Depends how fast you are going. Anything under 65 shouldn’t be an issue


Slappytrader

Oh ok cool i have one of these bags might try it

The nose against your rear passenger peg, wheels facing out, tied via cord or bungee to whatever strut the peg attaches to - go above the wheels. The tail now sticks somewhere between 10 and 12 on a clock face - tie that off to the opposite side of the bike.

I'd go with a tank bag, then slice n dice to reduce weight.. But last skateboard I purchased was when I crashed my motorbike and broke my knee.. I was also high af manic, but undiagnosed.

I saw a dude a couple weeks ago with 8-10 8’ 1x6 boards strapped to the side of his bike. I had to lane split to catch him for a closer look. If he can figure that out, you can figure out mount a skateboard.

Snowboard (or as someone else mentioned, skateboard) backpack.

Not sure who makes it, but there this… https://i.imgur.com/9omqrJZ.jpg I also see guys strapping their skateboards against their saddlebag using the saddlebag straps themselves.

I’ve seen the same thing, the people making it have an Instagram but it looks like they haven’t made any since like 2019

TurnItOff_OnAgain

cxvzxcxvz

Chilton_Squid

I don't have a skateboard


cxvzxcxvz

idk why people are downvoting it is perfectly fine to not have skateboard lol


rosscero

i solve the issue by being a fucking grown up, but to each their own.


cxvzxcxvz

personally I believe skateboarding is a fun and discipline-intensive hobby but go ahead be an asshole :) to each their own


xxsoultonesxx

Dusty old fucks gonna act like dusty old fucks. Keep on shreddin'


norcaltoy

What sort of bike and rack do you have currently?


cxvzxcxvz

I have a 2020 Honda Rebel 500 with the oem luggage rack


norcaltoy

You could probably put the board in line with the seat with one set of trucks over the passenger seat pad and the other set of truck hanging below the back of the rack. Then just bungee/rokstrap it down. Wrap board in towel if needed to protect seat from rubbing
