Bending Promod Decks?

[brian amato]

So yeah, I've had a ton of Promods, just like most everyone else on here. I usually break them at the foldy or the dropouts, but my last two Promod decks have started bending A TON. My newest one, the Promod without the ridge on the bottom, is severely bent and i've only had it for... not even two weeks? I know Razor makes good products, but I can't help to think they've cut down on SOMETHING in the last two and a half years. And i've hardly been riding any flyout lately.

Yes I searched about this. EDIT: But I forgot about Conor's thread. Oh well, I think this is different enough, but if not, delete my thread.

Anyone else have this problem? I'm about to switch back to having deck reinforcements.

Anyone else have this problem? I need to switch back to having deck reinforcements quickly, or I'll keep bending decks.

true.

...The decks now are dodgy as hell
Why didn't you reinforce it as soon as you got it haha

 

[brian amato]

i hated the extra weight and i thought it wouldn't bend as fast if i stopped doing flyout. i thought that's where it must have happened because i was going so high and landing flat. but i guess not.

I'm scared reading this, because I'm just starting to ride without reinforcements.
If and when I get the new promodel deck, I'll probably use some inside angle aluminum deck reinforcements (since I like the wall ride clearence).
I'd rip out the folding mech and deck plates and replace them with the angle aluminum (while still screwing the screws through the side and into the folding mech), that way the folding mech and sides of the decks are strongly secured into the reinforcements, stiffening the whole deck.
haha, hope that made sense!

Hopefully 4 of them will last a couple months.
