So I was practicing flips and blew out the tail of my just fixed board again.

Anyone know of a board (brand?) that would not have this happen?

Mind you I flipped and landed DEAD on the tail edge, lots of pressure..



thx

My Lib Tech board has no steel edge around the nose and tail so they're not going to have these problems. But I'm sure they can damage at the nose and tail too, but don't think it's going to happen as fast because is just a solid piece of material...

Sucks btw. I'd try to use warranty or customer service!

You lib tech will have way more nose and tail issues then any other board on the market. Not having a fully wrapped stick is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.... Wait till you accidentally run into something and the board splits in half, or someone bumps your board from behind in the lift line and splits it in half also. It will happen.

There are no boards more vulnerable to tip and tail damage then non fully wrapped ones as far as I know.

Crud.. and no I won't try to pull it off as a warranty issue, I already contacted Capita and told them that it was my fault and landed on my tail.

They offered to fix it if I shipped it out to them.

No matter what they do, it'll still split on flips :(

Better start getting them right lol.

They do, I can't remember it's name either though.... I've got a few friends who tried to bust it in the shop and it just kept tossing them across the room onto their asses.

That's the one.

And it's just the core, I'm not sure how the edges will stand the test of time.. I'm pretty sure edges will forever be vulnerable, no matter what
