I think your fat ass is splendid! Don’t let these esk8 bullies get you down…

Hopefully op knows how to fall better.

Voided the warranty. Made enough fuss to get refund. Continues to bash on multiple forums. Karma Gonn Get Chu

I did not drill into the deck. Whoever changed the title is dumb

xsynatic · April 9, 2021, 1:34pm

Where does the extra set of holes come from?

@jamie You’re dumb.

The plot thickens

AgentC27 · April 9, 2021, 1:38pm

It came like that. Idk why there are 6 per side.

worldismine772 · April 9, 2021, 1:40pm

you were just asking last month if it was safe to drill into the deck?

also:

Mr.Electronicist · April 9, 2021, 1:50pm

This Instagram picture from 121c’s page shows some with 6 holes. But many others only have 4.

xsynatic · April 9, 2021, 1:57pm

Fair enough.

So the tldr of this thread is:

user bought deck
Deck broke
user got refund
user tried to repair said deck but it broke more
user creates thread and bitches about deck

I mean, this is already well-established right?

Updated title again. @AgentC27 sorry for the error!

ShutterShock · April 9, 2021, 3:52pm

Seems like it lol

Sidenote, that space graphic on that one middle board looks epic ^^

Looks like New & Old school truck mount patterns to me, interesting

And basically @AgentC27 you don’t repair carbon fiber by just filling in the Crack or patching it, you first need to remove all the damaged carbon fiber strands which run from the crash to wherever it can, you don’t know before your sand the coating down.

Check carbon bike forums, when they Crack and need repair, the hole left after damage removal is huge! And that’s where you start patching for repair.

AgentC27 · April 10, 2021, 3:13am

I actually did sand it down, but probably not enough. I’m not rly that mad about it cracking after my “repair,” but it shouldn’t have cracked in the first place.

AgentC27 · April 10, 2021, 3:13am

Also, I was asking how to drill into it but it cracked while testing, I didn’t get the chance to drill.

worldismine772 · April 10, 2021, 3:52pm

Yea it shouldn’t have, that’s why they refunded you

Is where it cracked the same place you started sanding? Maybe you hurt the integrity

rusins · April 10, 2021, 4:30pm

If a bit of sanding caused a deck to crack then it would have cracked without the sanding too lol

I know we love to circlejerk and defend companies near and dear to our hearts, but honestly I just appreciate the PSA that 121c decks are not actually invincible.

Edratuom · April 10, 2021, 5:12pm

Yea, definitely.

What’s uncool about this thread is how it’s implied at first that the deck had a catastrophic failure without warnings. Now, we are still missing some facts I would like to ask @AgentC27 :

What were you doing precisly when the first crack appeared ? I would be tempted to push the deck to its limits personnally, especially when you look at their ad where they drive over it with a truck.
Have 121C mentionned a possible defect on your deck ? What was their explaination ?
Can you share a photo of the whole deck ?

worldismine772 · April 10, 2021, 7:38pm

Idk, it seems like his whole family has an issue with cracking decks
