Storing mountainboards in the cold?


Once thanksgiving (Canadian) hits next month, I will pull the winter gear out and put away the summer boards. I was thinking if sticking them in my shed to make things less cluttered. Wondering if anyone could say whether or not the extreme winter temps would damage them? It can easily hit -30c here, so I really don't want to open the shed in spring and find my boards (wood or carbon fiber) to be cracked or swelled.

I don't know about the cold effecting the deck but abit of advice is to loosen all wheel and truck bolts or dismantle it. just in case they seize up or rust

hey shaggs. I have been storing my mountainboard and coyotes in my unheated garage all winter without doing anything to them and have not had any problems. If you ride it on a wet field and it snows the next day I would take it into a heated area to make sure it completely dries out before freezing it in the garage.

Thanks fellas. I will loosen everything off and give them a try in the shed. Hopefully they hold up well.
