Hi, i was out skating the other day and i tried to hit this 6 stair in town, i landed it a few times:D big deal for me cause i havent been skatin for long, only a few months, anyway, i tried it once more and the board credit-carded me in the ass, it hurt like hell but the worst part is the board got a big chip at the top of it, i tried to fix it with some weatherproof wood adhesive, but its not working, does anybody have any ideas? its really annoying as i only got the board at xmas and its my first proper pro board, somebody plz help:(

Afraid when that happens all you can do it either rip the piece off and keep skating it or buy a new deck. Personally, i'd buy a new deck. Nothing better than a new deck!!

yeah i'll pron do that when i get money, the one i have now is an alien workshop board, but i dont really like it cause the graphic comes off so easily, seriously it was almost completely gone within a week of getting it. Im thinking of getting a Plan B, anybody have any ideas to what i should get??

You can repair it (using wood stopping, mixed wood glue and sawdust or even isopon) but if you have the cash just get a new deck. Buy a boarderco great quality and Irish much better to give your money to a company that supports the Irish skate scene.

I've tried that way of fixing decks, its never really worked very well for me, worth a shot though, idk like, i could have been doing it wrong.

About graphics wearing off, that really shouldn't matter man. Mine are ussually compleatly screwed with in a day or two.
But i get what you mean, when i got my first deck i was really into keeping the graphic looking nice, you get over it pretty quike. haha
These days a deck will last me about two to three months.

yeah i heard its something about AW boards not being laminated or something

CianRyan · 09-03-2009 05:30PM

Well i'm skating one right now and its holding up pretty well, albiet, i haven't been able to get out on it much lately because of the weather.

Still though, pics will fallow in a while, my computer's acting up right now.

yeah plz do. On mine u can scrape it off using ur finger lik, its pretty bad:( Does anybody no how much boarderco boards are? it doesnt say on the site..

CianRyan · 09-03-2009 09:38PM

About the same price as other pro decks last time i checked.

roguey · 10-03-2009 05:31PM

so wat lik 70 euro?? is the wreckless own board ne good does anybody no?? wouldnt mind gettin that either if its supporting the irish scene

CianRyan · 10-03-2009 09:23PM

I've never tried them so i wouldn't know. But yeah, around that price alright.

I tend to get my decks in G1, as far as i know the two for €100 deal is an on going thing. Worth checking out either way.
The G1 own decks are €50 i think. they're pretty nice too. Know loads of people who use them.

roguey · 11-03-2009 12:28AM

oh good, i'll prob get that so, i was just thinkin it would be better to have a board spare in case 1 breaks lik. there website isnt up yet though

roguey · 11-03-2009 08:22PM

I sent an email to G1, they said they dont sell Boarderco boards, or boards made in europe for that matter, but they do have all boards for 100euro, and also 3 rukos boars for 100euro, so im gettin one of those deals:D

CianRyan · 12-03-2009 01:26PM

3 for €100? haha holy crap that's cheap!
I might have to look into that deal.

CianRyan · 12-03-2009 08:11PM

Yeah my second deck was a rukos, it lasted me about 5 months and was square by the time i got rid of it, and at that stage, its still had pop! :eek:

CianRyan · 13-03-2009 01:18PM

My mate just texted me, he was in G1 to buy a board today and the half price sale is on again, worth a look if any one can get in today.
