So while out having fun out at Rooster on sunday (and sailing past PK dragging what looked like a big red garbage bag and clear ballons) Laughing

I managed to fold my redline 132 in half right below my back foot Crying or Very sad Does Rooster just eat gear or what? Is it the VS curse?

At any rate, the bottom sheet on the caution board is fine. I talked to the caution rep in HR and he said that the board can be fixed (even though I have a new Jimmy Lewis waiting at the fed ex office as I write this) by cutting lengthwise channels through the top sheet and epoxying wood or carbon fiber stock in there.

Has anyone tried this before? How thick should the rods be? Should I use hardwoods or just splurge on CF.?

I was going to make a bench out of it but it would be nice to have a beater board to screw around on.
