In this post, I am going to explain How To Build A Pitbull Hoverboard and exactly how I made one using the same techniques in 2012. This build cost less than £15 to make and looks brilliant when it is finished.

Why I Made A Pitbull Hoverboard

.Ever since I was a teenager watching the p To The Future movies – I had always wanted my very own Pitbull Hoverboard.

Even since I was a teen I wanted my very own back to the future pitbull hoverboard. I never really wanted Marty McFlys hoverboard for some reason I just had my heart set on having one like Biff Buchanan’s board.

The main reason was because of how futuristic it looked not to mention beefy compared to poor McFly’s Hoverboard in. Saying that he did have to take his from a child during the chase scene in Back To The Future 2.

So given this, I wanted to make a Pitbull Hoverboard on the cheap. No expensive equipment is required for this build.

When I made this Hoverboard I had hardly any money at all. So all the materials I managed to obtain were cheap but still gave me a quality finish.

So where did I begin?

Firstly, when I built the Pitbull Hoverboard I had no idea where to begin. So, I found some templates that were available online.

Once I had the templates, using my home printer I had to print the templates out on individual pieces of A4 paper. After that, I taped them together with clear tape.

I bought some MDF board which cost hardly anything and this was 8mm thick. I wanted the board to be sturdy. My son is having this in his bedroom wall mounted.

I place the template over the MDF and then used my jigsaw to cut the template out with precision.

After this, I gave the board two coatings of black primer spray, then I finished it off with a black matt gloss to ensure it would be durable.

Each part was made individually. The thrusters I made using foam and old water PVC piping I had laying around. I used the following pic for reference. I used silver spray to complete the thruster look.

I bought some LED lights again pretty cheap. I purchased blue one’s and mounted this inside of each thruster. I placed the battery pack underneath in the middle of the board.

I turned the build into a usable night light for my son.

All in all this cost around $15 to build and the results have given me something which my son will be able to keep and pass on to his kids.

I then got a hold of some sticky back paper. I printed the following Pitbull image from the top of Biffs board and stuck this in place.

What I loved about making this Pitbull hoverboard the most was that I got to spend time with my son whilst we built this together.
