Sooooo my suitcase is barely too small (it’s massive) to fit my mtb deck. Anyone have suggestions on getting it shipped?

  1. who might have boxes or containers that big?
  2. what’s best for checking it on a plane (battery is already shipped)?
  3. is there any easy solution I’m not thinking of? I could wood work a box together but that’s gonna be over 50 lbs and can’t fly

I found one box supplier near me open til 5.The box is going to be 36 x 12 x 12". That’s too big for carry on but BARELY works as checked. Checked rules are under 50lbs and sum of dimensions under 62 (mine is 60!). I don’t think they’ll have a problem with a cardboard box being checked…

3 days away!!!

I know about the bdsm festival, don’t have to remind me :sweat_smile: we’re The Electric Boarder: Thunder in the Mountains, each yearly event will have a different theme name so I’ll make sure to steal the name from the Tampa bdsm event for our next years festival :yum::wink:

I was really hoping to come out for this one. Just got to many things going on, including the fact my board is, let’s just say, being replaced. Mean time I have another in the works but just found out my little baby girl has a hole in her heart. so we are going to a cardiologist Friday. Hopefully next time I can bring the whole family and hopefully I’ll have a leg to race on lol. I hope everyone has a good time and the crashes aren’t too serious. Hopefully there will be good footage

That sucks brother, if there is anything we can do just say it. Know that this condition is medically not nearly as serious as it was just a few years ago, lots of options. Keep positive.

Thanks bro. I actually had something similar when I was her age and I grew out of it so hopefully she will too. Maybe we could get a YouTube live broadcast of the races tomorrow and Friday.
