treetops Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 Has anyone else had problems with their non-slip footpad peeling off their Airdeck? Used mine once and it's coming off already.. Also, when you are pushing it back upwind with your foot, it steers to the left the whole time, the back wheels are not in line with the front wheels when not riding. Is this normal??! Quote
treetops Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Posted August 7, 2003 should have added that I am very much a learner and haven't quite got the hang of tacking upwind yet, so have to kick it back with my feet...! bloody annoying when you push it with your foot and it won't go straight! Quote
wakeupandfly Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 take the grip problem up with flexifoil if you really care that much about it, or just stick it back down! turning left, is that to the heelside or toeside? if its heelside then yes it is normal - you will always be leaning on that side of the board when riding and the rubbers in the trucks deform as such this can be solved by taking the bottom of the truck off (unscrew just the one bolt per truck!) and turning the rubbers 180 degrees then putting them back, or just buy some good ones from a skate shop. Tynemouth Extreme do excellent rubbers for skate trucks, cant remember their make. Tom Quote
treetops Posted August 7, 2003 Author Report Posted August 7, 2003 yeah, I don't really have a problem with just sticking the plate back down, just a little disappointed that a supposedly good brand is starting to fall apart after only one ride! just wondered if it was common. Quote
Tone Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 yea it has happend to mine too... i wont be buying an airdeck again. Quote
Butch1599968578 Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 Mine peeled too after bout a week, but compared to the other faults mine has, i wouldnt worry too much....... fipped footstrap - after 2 weeks wheels rubbing on board - whenever you turn hard toeside bent trucks - after 2 weeks never mind, ive got a Trampa now. Its The Nuts!! Kia kaha BUTCH Quote
rasga Posted August 7, 2003 Report Posted August 7, 2003 Mine is fine had it for a few months, (flexdeck) not had any issues with it, looks like some had issues unfortunately Quote
fly_boy Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I have the same problem with the grip pads on the Air-S but I stuck them back down with a bit of glue.... Its a bit dissapointing regarding build quality but its the only problem that I have had... Quote
