@groovyruvy It takes less time than sending it back to OW.

Thanks so much for your guidance!

I finally did my first tire at home with metal framed wood clamp to break bead, spoons and soapy water for removal, lube(i used wd40) to install new tire via pinning rim with carpet in vice while using WuTang tiger hand technique, then compressor pump until pops (Make Sure Bead past Valve). Deflate below 20 then inflate to your preference. Remount and Ride.
Thanks again for tutorial!

Time to move to NC! Great trail riding here. Not many thorns, but you better make sure that you use the correct bathroom. They will be screening bathrooms here soon.

Delta says no.

@mekon I bought 2 boards 13 months ago. I kinda like riding them.

@willardsen801 It seemed like the tech manager and techs were not communicating well when passing work from one person to next. I had asked for mine to shipped back without new decks bc it was going to another 2 weeks. It was almost 10 days after that it finally shipped. Then, I get an email from another marketing manager trying to convince me to buy V2 and that I should "take it easy" on the service team. I was never rude or even angry when communicating and I never gave any negative feeback. Maybe marketing needs to go help service. That was my first negative experinece with FM.

@LidPhones Good Luck! Lots of options out there.

I posted one pair of Astral shoes, but the ones below are preferred shoe. Great shoes made here in Asheville, NC. mainly made for white water but they work great for riding.
