Claims on decks?

Unfortunately, no deck can withstand everything. Decks designed for tricks are often subjected to extreme pressure, especially during landings, and therefore have limited durability.

In general, the lighter the deck, the shorter its lifetime. Additionally, the frequency and roughness of usage significantly impact the lifespan. All skilled riders who perform tricks on scooters will find that the deck eventually breaks due to wear and tear.

So how do you determine whether a claim on a deck will be accepted or if it's due to usage?


Example where a claim sometimes will be accepted
Here is a picture of a deck that is broken within the claim period of 2 years. The welding on the deck is broken.

As you can see in the 2 pictures, the deck has been used for tricks and has normal marks of usage on the bottom. Also, the deck has not been modified. If there is an error or missing part on the deck (typically an error in the welding), the claim will be accepted and you will receive a new deck.

Example where a claim will be rejected
If the deck is worn as shown in this picture, the strength of the deck has decreased due to wear. The claim will be rejected no matter how old the deck is. A claim on a modified scooter (with holes, mounted non-standard equipment, etc.) will always be rejected.

Finally, some tips on how to make your deck last longer:

• Always land with your knees bent to absorb the shock of the landing
• Keep everything on the scooter tight, including your axles and headset
• Avoid grinding on rough surfaces
• Limit the number of flyouts you take
• Never throw your scooter!
