101 Alternate Uses for Grab Handle Holes - Part 1

The Grab Handle - mounts directly to all Pro, Comp and Core series decks or holes can be drilled so that a handle can be fitted enabling kiters and mountainboarders somewhere to hold on to whilst doing their one-foot and no-foot tricks.  "Is a 360 varial possible?", ask MBS?  I have absolutely no idea.

But what if you have the holes there and don't feel the need to take either foot out, but want to utilise these holes and maximise all that wasted deck space on your board?  Well, read on for Part 1 (of many) to be continued until we reach 101 or we run out of ideas....  Which will come first?  Only one way to find out!

Only one problem - I can't do technical drawing and haven't the time to make these a reality, so ignore the blatant use of gaffa tape but open your imagination to these useful* suggestions and enjoy a few fun facts** along the way.

Lets go!

* - may not be beneficial to actually riding
** - may not be absolute fact

No. 1 - Handle!

Mountainboards are so cumbersome these days.  Not a problem with a handle!
Handles - it's the future!
Where's a picture of a handle when you need one????.......

Quick Joke Time....
Teacher: What are you making?
Student: It's a portable.
Teacher: A portable what?
Student: I don't know, I've only made the handle.
Lolz.

No.2 - Spare Tyre

tire (in American English and Canadian English) or tyre (in British English, New Zealand English, Australian English and others)............Thanks wikipedia, always get these spellings mixed up!

Why bother with puncture repairs in the woods when you can just slip on a new wheel and away you go!  If it's good enough to keep a car tyre in the boot of the car then it's good enough for us, plus we don't require a jack or warning triangle - result!  Just don't forget the correct sized spanner.

No.3 - Drink Holder

Dehydration - the third biggest killer of mountainboarders in the UK after collisions and polar bears.

Keep dehydration at bay with a convenient drinks holder.

No.4 - First Aid Kit

If you are on your own and injured, then it's easier to reach between your legs and grab a plaster or paracetamol than into your backpack or deep pockets.  Patch yourself up and ride on soldier!

No.5 - Backpack attachment

It's like a portable, but hands free enabling you to point at things or carry a small dog.

No.6 - GPS / Phone attachment

Hmmm.  No photo for this one as my phone is my GPS is my camera.  But think about it - how many scratches do you have on the topside of your deck?  Not many on mine and so a perfectly*** safe place to keep your delicate electronic valuables.


No.7 - Tool holders

Tools - can never have too many!

Well, that's enough blue sky thinking for one day.  Feel free to post your own uses for the space normally used for a grab handle and we can do Part 2.  Only 94 more to come up with.....

*** - usual disclaimers and all that.
