I am wondering if you ever oiled your board? The wood could split because bamboo is pretty brittle. But, it may also have split because it dried out. Bamboo and all wood products need to be oiled regularly to keep them from drying out. I use mineral oil (fit for human consumption) on my wooden boards.

Did you use a dishwasher to clean them? If so that's probably why they slit. If not, I'd contact Amazon to get them exchanged

It's not widely known, but you have to oil your bamboo boards when you get them, and whenever they dry out. I use coconut oil, but you could use any edible oil. I found this out the hard way, too.

I bought this set as a gift. She's had no complaints about them and has used them frequently. You may just need to contact Amazon for a replacement or refund.

Yes!! I did it like this, I held my boards up where I wanted to put them with the bottom bracket held on the wall with my hand ). Slightly off center in the waist of the board worked best( I did this solo but if someone was there to help it would have been easier) I marked around the outside of the bracket with a pencil, you cant just mark the holes because the board covers them, I installed it to the wall, put the board up on the now mounted bracket and just experimented where along the top the best pivot point was and did the same thing again. Theyve been up there for months and ive taken them down and put them back a few times this season and they work great.I wish I could attach a picture of them lol Yes!!

Thanks for the heads up. That was actually the first thing I saw before I started calling tech support. That didn't work for me. It may work for you, though. I'll post on here to let you know if I have any luck with the tech swapping out my mainboard next week.

I did not have that problem at all. Sounds like a defective product. I would ask amazon for an exchange....sorry for the late response...John

This is from the company. I did some research &#128077; Joan We do offer replacement boards for $20 including shipping if this interests you. If you would like one, please send me your shipping address, full name, phone # and a Visa or MC # and I will mail it out to you. [You can also mail us a cheque but we would need to wait until it was received to ship the board.] Note: Please keep your tray and brush, as only the board itself will be mailed to you from our beautiful Vancouver BC headquarters.

No. But either the board is good or it isn't. I have been purchasing and using separate boards for decades and I have had to return a few because they just didn't work - something was wrong. If a board is good you will not have any issues.

Bearings weren't the problem. The trucks don't turn as sharp as you'd like. I told myself it was the length of the board which made the turns wider since it's pretty long, but I enjoy turning on my friends 43 incher. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad board, I loved it. Just needs breaking into

The only help I can offer is to look on the inside of the label. You have to play detective and find the components on the board. We used to buy a lot if these to teach our engineers how to solder. Also...double check you're soldering as cold joints can cause thirds item not to function properly. There is am initial start up delay, and time requirement between cycles. They are cute, and work well if assembled correctly.

Same thing happened to mine. I replaced the main capacitor on the board and it's been fine ever since. Otherwise, if you aren't capable of doing that, you'll need to replace the whole board.

Not your board, this is fully buffered, try this instead http://www.amazon.com/Mushkin-996757-PC2-5300-5-5-5-15-STILETTO/dp/B004JRE1CI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386075242&sr=8-1&keywords=996757

Mine isn't square either, but fits one way. Try rotating 90 degrees, or sanding edges of the board so it's not so tight.

When one of these boards are ordered from me (e b surf and ski) I send an email out letting the customer know what color options are available to choose from. If I don't get an answer in one day, I ship a random color so the order won't be late.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

Try the suggestions in this link. I've never had that problem with my board. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6653868/list/how-to-clean-and-care-for-your-butcher-block

That's what happened to mine, bottom half wouldn't respond. (Below the crack). I bought a new bezel also, well worth the $15 for the hassle factor. Watched some you tube videos and I was back in business. I also bought a new video cable as I read they are so fragile, it was about $4.

It seems to be a problem of belt. It is easy to change if you have basic tools.. You can order it online or get ur skateboard to nearest Amazon shop. Pls check ur belt before u order. I hope that helps..
