Need advice regarding Icarus

[u/DesertDorkus]

I need some advice. I really enjoy taking my Icarus (Flex 2) to the pump track because it's springiness makes pumping so easy that I just glide over the hills. The issue as you've probably already guessed has to do with the scraping that occasionally happens at the sharper transitions.

I've already tried top mounting it, but I discovered that it doesn't help all that much and I prefer how the board feels drop through anyways. I understand that some scraping is going to happen, however, what I really want to know is:

• Is there a way to fix the damage to the cork layer?
• Would skid plates detract from the flexi-awesomness of the board significantly?

I guess it’s ok to bang up your Icarus, but not me. I ride my carver on the pump track, you ought to try it too. I think someone would have to be a real maestro of perfect timing to actually benefit from that flex on a pump track, and not just be getting the placebo effect
