Chubz Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 got the Pogo back Friday. no snow of course, but one big hoot and holler to the guys from POGO. I wil test it next season and see how it does. they were able to repair with only one black strip about 2" wide and 10" long of composites. Gonna send them a thank you email next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coloradoking Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 having a sentimental board break always sucks; a couple years ago, on my first alpine setup (it's pretty old) i managed to literally seperate the entire topsheet and top section of the core from the rest of the board; it's a nidecker 153 Fusion series. after about 3 hours of epoxy work it's in good enough condition to............wait for it.............hang on my wall :( try to call in warranty on that; that's one of the strangest breaks i've seen.

Chubz Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Yogi and the folks from Pogo were able to fix the OD and I havent had a chance to post, but have about 7 mornings on it so far this season and its holding up. Props out to the POGO folks. I will post pics if I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradoking Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 once you get a new board, i would recommend getting some sort of plates on there to distribute the force of your bindings, i hate to see someone lose their favorite toy. even home made 1/4" polyethylene plates help to get the force of the bindings distributed. the crack probably didnt come from downward force, but you probably weakened the stringers with contact points, same thing happened to one of my nideckers. good luck getting a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 ^he did better, he got his old one fixed like new (with some damage to the topsheet from the big old press). Interested to see the scars and pics of how it rides! Good to hear they really stand behind their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
