Heres the deal. I got a new ride timeless this season, (one of their powder boards) and after about 15 days up at the Mt this shit suddenly happens.

it goes from one little open to THAT in one day. The top coat is coming off.

So I'm going to go try to get a refund/replacement.
Rediculous too because i didn't even beat that part of the board. The tips got the most Rapege from cliff hucking.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't say boycott the company because you had a bad experience with one board. I would definitely get it warrantied. I have had no issues with Ride, and my brothers Timeless hasn't given him any problems. More than likely it was a defect. Give them another chance homie, I've heard great things about the Timeless.

"Skiing is for fat kids." That shit was/is so funny. I had that sticker on my skis for two years. As for the board, that is legit warranty, send it in, or call 800-426-1617 and talk with a RIDE customer service rep. They will help you and instruct you on were to send it back.

Ride boards are legit! Must be a one off problem - the TMS is a crazy board.

I agree with you, you should definately boycott Ride boards. And probably all boards. unless you have two boards, one on each foot. yeahhhh
