Tomzic Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Because my board is considerably flexible i cant find a decent grab handle. The MBS one is too stiff ive heared and could possibly snap. Any suggestions? Tom. Quote
Afro1599968737 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 just grab the edge of the deck besides, are you doing board offs? Quote
wenglish Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 get a regular grab handle a nice cheep one. fix it to the deck and cut an inch out of the middle. then apply some grip over it so you dont see the cut, job done, it wont effect the flex and wont ever snap. Quote
Tomzic Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 Not yet. Its next in line to learn just grab the edge of the deck besides, are you doing board offs? Quote
FiendishMcButt Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Why not get a 'T' shaped handle that only uses one fixing point. Quote
Zippy Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Scrub do a flexible handle. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.scrubboards.co.uk/images/products/large/17.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.scrubboards.co.uk/product_detail/Spares___Bits_N__Bobs/Scrub_Landboard_Grab_Handles/17/&usg=__IcPeWpwiBwZNdQ0fhtFl98UkBLo=&h=533&w=600&sz=18&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=58FWPrEZDagMTM:&tbnh=120&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dscrub%2Bgrab%2Bhandle%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7TSEA%253B%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 http://www.scrubboards.co.uk/images/products/large/17.jpg Quote

Tomzic Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 http://www.trampaboards.com/product_info.php?products_id=303 What about this one? Think Kite Geek used one of these on his deck? Quote
Psycho2 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Naish Make a carbon fibre Handle! Quote
-flyzone- Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 how about you cut an inch out of 1 and attache a hinge? that way it will flex with the boar but wont collapse when holding buy the handle:rolleyes: Quote

Tomzic Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 http://powerkiteshop.com/accessories/mauimagicmystichandle.htm Been told to get a Landboard grab handle because its higher which makes it easier to grab. Quote

airjunkie1599968718 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 £14 lol.... hmmm ? hi marman > could get one like yours i use the scrub ones myself on my carbon decks Quote
djtomo74 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 I have used the scrub one Zippy sugested for two years and I have snapped four trucks since then but the handle is still intact so seems to solve that problem Quote
Tomzic Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Posted November 1, 2009 hmmm ? hi marman > could get one like yours I thought that but then realised he gets it free with the deck i think.... Quote
BoooSt Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 Because my board is considerably flexible i cant find a decent grab handle. The MBS one is too stiff ive heared and could possibly snap. Any suggestions? Tom. ive got the mbs one on my trampa and its hasnt snapped. why not super glue a glove to your board and then when you go for a grab just slip your hand inside the glove...easy!

joshman35 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 look on the atb shop europe there's a nice mbs one for £30 Quote
kites_are_4_me Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 I've used a scrub and a MBS The scrub's is far flexible (probs about twice) and 1/3 of the price of a MBS and bigger! currently using the MBS, smaller but more rigid and stronger! you'd do a gd job to snap it. if ur a begginer and practising board offs go for the scrub; it shouldn't snap but only a £10ner if it does. ;P Quote
Tomzic Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Anyone know where i can find a Gummy handle? Their is nothing around anywhere! And if i cant find one, ill just get a scrub Edited November 1, 2009 by Tomzic Quote
Morgan Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 I used a kitedeck handle with choice of colours and wasn't too expensive and still meant the deck could move so all round was fine . Quote
