    Default vics are beasts

    I went skimming today and on the way back my friend wanted to pick up this couch so i set my skimboard on the top of his truck, and then after we loaded up the couch he decided he didnt want it anymore so we ditched it, so we go across the street into this cul-de-sac so he can turn around, and as he makes the turn i see this white thing dive bomb the ground. I was like oh frack, i get out and is only has minor dents on the rails i dont even think it went through the fiberglass or anything, but i havent ridden it again yet, so im kinda afraid next time i jump on it, itll snap but its a foamie anyway so it doesnt matter as much.

    Anyways im planning on getting a better board possibly exile(and wont leave it on top of cars) and was wondering what people would suggest to avoid doing to break there boards, and of course tell stories of how you've broken em.

    damn son. try and use some grammar. that whole post was 3 sentences. commas dont replace periods.

    to avoid breaking boards. well first off i dont set them on top of cars, thats beging for a fall. ive also learned even leaning then on the side of a car, they fall 3/4 times, luckily landin on the bottom everytime somehow tho. also, dont use your good board on rails if its your only one, because a lot of people snap them. If you do, make sure its not a metal skate rail, and a pvc one made for skimmin.

    I drove over mine when I sat it next to my tire. It was a carbon vic and there was a tire mark on it. I drove over the bottom and the board was still solid. So I agree vics are beasts.

    Thats weird because I sneezed on my Carbon Epoxy vic and it delaminated. No jk, but it did fall apart pretty damn easy considering it weighed a ton. Pretty sure that was before they were wrapping their rails or whatever though. I drove off with my one week old Exile on top of my car one time. Cracked up the clear coat pretty bad on both rails, but I was lucky there was no major damage. Must have landed just right. I was pretty pissed at myself for that though.

    My PolyVac is still going strong after almost a year and a half. Normal nose and tail wear, but hardly any dings at all. It's been dropped so much too.
