Comet FSM

**Gaz** · 11-19-2009 05:03 AM

I have a few questions about the FSM. I've read some things that lead me to believe that the deck is prone to snapping. Is this founded?

Would the deck be more prone to snapping under 210 pounds, which is what i currently weigh?

Basically any other pro's/cons that can be listed let me know, because i don't want to buy a board that's gonna snap on me. Cheers.

if your worried about it order one thats flushmounted or topmounted with a couple extra plies

or try to get your hands on a fullbag speedstyler which will definately last longer

I've been kicking the ass out of mine and generally abusing it
and it takes all the #### I can throw at it with no complaints.
The only thing I would say is keep it in the dry don't leave it
out in the rain and wipe it down if you've been riding in the wet
but that applies to all boards.
It usually take quite a bit to snap a deck and within the limits
of normal riding a deck failing is pretty rare,unless it has some
flaw.Don't worry about it,get the board its absolutely my favorite
for eveything other than balls out d/h.You won't regret it.

Keith is 200 and has had no problems with his FSM. Flushmounts with Indy 215s are the way to go. I've broken two drop through but that was from skating this pool and getting my wheel stuck in a crack that was the size of the wheel on two different occasions. They also changed the cutouts on the drop through so that they'd be stronger than the original shape. Before there was too little material at the highest stress point of the board but that's been changed. Get one and rip it!

Sweet, fairly awesome price as well. All ordered, i have it on some Randall 180's, with 70mm, 4 pres, 80a.

Stoked, can't wait till it comes. Gonna break the wheels in and use it as my free ride board
