Claims on decks?

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

In general, the lighter the deck, the shorter its lifespan. Additionally, the frequency and intensity of usage greatly impact the deck's durability. All proficient riders who perform tricks on scooters understand that the deck will eventually break 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 might be accepted
Here you see 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 shows normal signs of usage on its 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 in this case), 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, then the strength of the deck has decreased due to wear. The claim will be rejected regardless of the deck's age. 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 fly outs you take
• Never throw your scooter!
