Double Whip Snaps?

[Randall Dalal]

Anybody else snap decks on double whips? I had this pressure crack on my dropouts for a while and as soon as i did a double flat, INSTANT SNAP. Pics Below

I know it doesn't look that bad but if you saw it in person, you would see, ill try to get more pics tomorrow. When i was riding home my wheel was like sideways. No joke.

is that an ultra pro?

 

[Randall Dalal]

Nope, just a Pro Model. 09

its the way you land. i do it with my bris flat. you land too hard. i snap decks on bris flat all the time, but if you try and like let it come down smoothly it will last a lot longer.

 

[Randall Dalal]

I try to do the more smooth but idk, i can never snap square bases though, never have.

my brother snapped his B model on a double whip flat, too!

 

[Randall Dalal]

Really, B's are nice. I would rather ride that then a square base. I can't 50-50 for my life. Haha

reinforcements

 

[proscooter46]

reinforcements. I made a how to a while ago. They help with 50-50's but i can also do them with just the deck.

 

[Randall Dalal]

Yeah but how do you make them? Could you send me the link to the how to?

 

[proscooter46]

i deleted the pics for it but if you look at peoples scooters that have them you can pretty much just guess on how to cut and drill the holes for it. If you dont know what size tube to get take ur scooter to like home depot or ace hardware and match one up to the side of your scooter and see if it fits.

edit: or you can just use aluminum stripes for the reinforcements, these are probably easier to make.

ive broken 2 pro decks in the same spot haha

 

[Randall Dalal]

I used to brake the foldies but after my stuff got cleaner it only happens in the dropouts.

i broke stock bars at the weld on a double flat and the front of the deck trying to double a ten stair. Addison must have used a fresh pro when he did his.
