Why am I so paranoid to flex test my board?! - Snowboarding Forum

I have an Omatic Wigglestick 2010 park board. Its on the stiffer side and it creaks when I flex it. Anyone else feel like their board's gonna crack?

I just built 5 boards, the first time you give them a real good flex they creak. After that they shut up.

Bend that bitch as much as you can, it won't snap.

Last time I tried to flex it hard and it made a loud crack noise? Is it just breaking in?

I figure its just the epoxy making noise the first time it gets flexed as it really doesnt like to flex.

I just wanted to make sure cuz they don't make em anymore and its such a sick board!

It's your fiber glass and epoxy breaking in. Straddle that fucker and bounce up and down on it like you're a chick riding the bologna pony it won't be a problem after that.
