So sorry about your deck!
Thanks bro! It’s a bummer, and to make matters worse a while ago I bought another TB40 V1 for a BN M1 build. Lol, I hope the same thing doesn’t happen again!

Maybe some reinforcing could help?
Also the drop through plates from riptide
Most of the cracks I’ve seen seem to occur around the truck mounting holes. I’m thinking of a layer or two of fiberglass/carbon fiber? I’ve never done that before so I’ll have to do some research here on the forum, or send the deck to someone who actually has experience and knows what they’re doing.
Wow that’s crazy.
In totally unrelated news, I now have a TB40 V1 deck for sale!

@jaykup, 
good luck with your sale! Maybe I’ll buy yours as a backup when my new one inevitably explodes. I’ll just keep slapping drivetrains on them and open a tab at my local hospital.
@xsynatic, thanks! It’s a great read and lots of relevant info for me to consider. I appreciate the link.

Ahhhh fuck. I wonder if some of the under side deck protectors would have made any difference.

Glad you’re not all banged up and good on you for fessing up for the benefit of others.

Thankfully, it was on the plata, which is probably why my skin is intact.
I’m never falling for this again, Michael.

Lol, your not my skate Dad, you can’t call me Michael!
It’s been a really weird one since I’ve been back. So strange.
Fun fact, I’m going for skate at sunset in khakis and a polo. Left the fancy dad loafers behind.

12s4p is the shittiest battery size.
It should either be smaller or larger. Essentially the most pleb tier of battery configurations
This is quite a broad brush strokes statement. But it is the truth^tm
10S5P has treated me well and it’s nearly the same size. No pneummies though, so it’s significantly bigger than 48/50 cells with rubbers
