: Hey, remember 720 Degrees? You know the skateboard game? I wanna make a good control for it but I'm not quite sure I remember how it was.

: What I'm thinking is a spinner with a stick on it. The stick would be almost like a small joystick pointing at about a 45 degree angle up and away from the spinner knob. Spin the stick pointing it in some direction and the skateboard points that direction too.

: So here's my plan... Make a twisty grip spinner with a knob I can drill a hole in for the stick.
: Something (very) roughly like this...
