Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just finished this board mod after a wicked spill on the last run of the day. Awesome rocker no?! So I'm obviously looking for a new board now. Sad day. Link to post Share on other sites

Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Done. Had a friend suggest I get a p-tex candle to repair it a few minutes ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Should get better float in the powder this way, right? I wonder if you could screw some bracers across the crack to stiffen it up enough to ride. Would look ugly, but. Link to post Share on other sites
Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm not tossing it out yet, but I would really question the longevity of something like that. Last thing I need is for a repair to fail on me and crash hard. I was lucky I didn't get hurt bad. The onlookers said it looked like a pretty spectacular crash. I rode in the sideline powder the whole way down, just in case I fell Link to post Share on other sites

Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Right where it says "Original ROSSI Quality" That part made me laugh too. After I cried and ate conbini food to cure my woes. I'm not tossing it out yet, but I would really question the longevity of something like that. Last thing I need is for a repair to fail on me and crash hard. Hmm, also rotate the bindings to switch the nose and tail? Also an idea, haha. But I ride switch too much =-( Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Go to niseko and find one in the racks and swap your broken half with a good half lolololo Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wild thought: any chance of a warranty claim? Link to post Share on other sites
Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've only had the board less than a month for sure, but it's definitely not covered under warranty. Not a manufacturers defect or similar. I guess that's what I get for going solid wood core I suppose. Go to niseko and find one in the racks and swap your broken half with a good half lolololo That's just mean. Gimmie your 180cm Birdman! The one I tried to buy last year fell through =-( Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Front seat landing. This is the problem (especially in the split world) of everyone wanting to be the lightest. Light =fragile. Link to post Share on other sites

Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just took my bindings off to put on the 1000￥ board and found another topsheet crack. Man I fell hard. Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You are welcome to borrow the birdman if you take a short drive down to nagano lol Link to post Share on other sites
Tachypsychia 13 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 "short drive" >.> Only a 20 hour round trip! I'd takkyubin it for a demo. But I'd be so scared to hurt it. Also what would the return address be? Gozaimaas White Wombat Space 12 Tourism Center Iiyama, Nagano, Japan Link to post Share on other sites

Take a pic and say that it has developed from a small scar to right across your board Actually scratch that.....just saw your 2nd pic!
