Mile post 93 around Celilo my buddy's space case popped open and a 12m OR Razr and a 4.5m RPM, plus two wetsuits (one is a Billabong 5/4/3) blew out. Someone picked all of it up before we circled back. Pls ping Kenton Berg if you have info or picked it all up! (M) 425-922-3034
Thx! |

Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been there and done that. On a trip back from Bend skiing (Spring time when there are super strong and gusty west winds) I got hit by a cross-wind west gust that blew open my Space case top and ripped it off. Luckily I was in the right lane and no one was on the side of the road. It wasn't locked at both lock points I suspect (which happens from time-to-time).
That is why I usually strap a Thule strap-tie around the Spacecase and since it down tightly for some extra security. |
