Electric Dirtsurfer Crashes

Terry Hershey Park Houston, TX. The grass is getting a little deep, but at least it's finally dry enough to ride some. Caution, crashes like this can only be performed by an amateur. A professional would never do anything like this.

Yes. This is Brian. Who is this?

If your deck is cracked and lost its flex then you should definitely get a replacement. It's not safe to ride with one that has gone soft. You might consider a type 4 deck for a stiffer ride. It can handle the bigger riders and survives jumps better.

Cheers,

B

You don't know me, except I think you sold me that Dirtsurfer back in April. I'd like to ride with you sometime, though. I'm trying to get a 4, because I'm such a big fatty. I'm actually in NC getting ready to Dirtsurf Sugar Mountain in a few minutes.

What caused you to crash on the pavement?

[R4ndomCrap]

I'm not sure. I wasn't going very fast, and I had been over that spot before during the day. It was very fast, from riding to instant collapse. There was very soft dirt right up next to the pavement so I might have sunk into it and then hit the pavement edge.

Also, I didn't realize this until the next day, but my deck has started to collapse. When I get on it, it bends significantly right at the edge of the front frame which fits under the flexiboard to about 5 inches back from the front of the board and I can easily bottom out the board just by bouncing on it. Also, the brakes had become severely misaligned and may have caught.

But no way could it have been anything related to my riding skill, as you can see, I am highly skilled ;) Is this Brian from Virginia?
