I have a few Kebbeks in stock at the moment. They are cosmetic blems and $220 each gripped and shipped.

most speedboards these days are strong enough to take heavy fellas like you, kebbeks included.

I'm 6'4" and somewhere between 100 and 110kg (i'm guessing, haven't stepped on a scale in a while) and Im riding a Kebbek Kootenay at the moment and it handles my size and weight easily. These are very solid boards.

How do you find Drop Throughs handle at your weight?

Im about 85kgs and keep poping the tops off the bolts on by drop through. (It gets about an hour of riding a day - mainly to and from work, so heaps of bumps in the pavement, etc, etc and I seem to pop them in pairs (about 10 mins apart) once a month or less).

I know the chances are slim to none, but you wouldn't happen to have an Erwin would you?

Ride them all the time and I never snapped one. I always use panhead bolts preferably Khiro.

Thanks for that, I use Khiro panhead bolts also.  I dont think too hard about it and just keep replacing them.  And yes, ive tried all different kinds of tightening pressure, and it doesnt seem to make much difference.

 

Im guessing it may have something to do with how I ride.  I grind the trucks and board on gutters hopping of them in the city, I also hit large bumps in the pavement and gutters at speed to ensure I get over them.

I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem.

Thanks.

Sweet, not sure where you could get a look at one unless you went to Townsville and saw Ado. I bought mine off Daddow recently. I'd never seen a kebbek in person but had heard good things about them. Was pretty impressed when I got it. Things built like a brick shitter. Awesome build quality. It has a bit of flex under my fat carcass but plenty stiff to bomb hills on. I'm running Sayshun Plasma trucks on it, they have a 42* baseplate There is 7* of wedging on the front of the board so the front truck angle is 49*. I reckon Bear Grizzlys or 42* Randals would also go pretty well and would be way cheaper. Oh yeah Freeball FTW.

No worries Big Beeter. Creative Skate has a Kootenay in stock, you should snap it up! Keep those jocks up off the pavement... or put some pucks on em.
