Want to stiffen your soggy MBS deck?

Karl (may or may not be his real name)*, is local Derby rider who we met up with for the first time recently.  He likes to freestyle and likes to go big and so really pushes the flex of his board to the limit.  In doing so, over time the MBS deck naturally became a bit soggy and so used the following modification to stiffen things up.


The Trampa handle is apparently a bit of a bugger to fit to the MBS grab handle holes, but when fitted, stays in place nice and tight.  The effect of doing this is that on landing, the deck is restrained from flexing upwards by the stiffness of the handle.  Result: one stiffer deck that is also portable!

Disclaimer.  Karl snapped his deck a couple of weeks a go.  Not necessarily as a result of any modifications but we here at Dirt Box HQ accept no responsibility whatsoever.  Thank you!

* - it is his real name.

Good advice...

You think a grab handle would make my NoSno 2mm thicker and 20mm longer?

No, but it may make it easier to carry ;-D
