Cracked Evo

Hey all. Ive been learning to do some freeride style tricks on my evo lately. I was practicing 180 standups and I had some bad luck... I slide too hard and lost control. The board flew into a gutter on an angle and it has cracked. I was doing about 10 km/h, I wouldn't expect it to have happened because this board is or I thought was a tank.

 

Here are the pics...

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if I can fix this. Sorry I forgot to say.

I was thinking just some titebond 3 and clamping it is all I can do?

Just try and stop it from de-laminating and basicaly try and keep it as together as you can. I hear Araldite is good for this sort of stuff. Just need to keep that ply together and clean till you can get a strong glue in there.

Cool. I have araldite, titebond III and a few other wood working glues. Dad has a workshop so I should be set :)

I guess just gluing it and strong clamps would do the job?

Should do. Its effectively how a board like the evo is made (multiple layers of wood glued together) the board may have reduced strentgh now though (can't really tell from the pictures)

Boards fine, ride it like that it makes no difference and glueing it won't make it stronger because of the cracks in the wood it will just stop it getting waterlogged!

A good excuse to get a better board. Buy yourself an Avenger and put this one in the wood shed.

Doesn't look that bad. Just wedge it open, fill it with epoxy, then clamp it. Remove the trucks first of course.
