seems like thats what mine looked like. i will take pics tomorrow though for you for sure.
on a side note, i have done a crazy amount of jumping yesterday and today and the skid has held up great.

Wes, I have a mountain addiction skid and just fixed the same thing that broke on yours. Mine is all aluminum and it snapped at the head. I dont know what caused it.

Skid info
Anyone have a contact number for these skids? Tuco do your limit straps go to the very front cross shaft like mine do? Or do they go around the second shaft where the rails get taller? Like SoCoRX1's? Wondering if that is our problem... As far as I can tell all the shaft/hym joint that broke does is hold the limits tight?

Larry Neilson is the owner of ekholm, his number is 1-250-494-4756.

Spoke with Larry
Larry said it was due to limit straps being to long. This allows the cam (the black piece with the broken joint) to rotate to far hitting the underside of the track and the support cross shaft causing the breakage. Simple fix, shorter limiters and a new joint. Thanks for the info!

Well that would explain mine breakage then. I loosened up my straps before my last ride. Thanks for the info.

so i just checked it out in the daylight, and that top bar that is horizontal is definitely bent. I am going to call ekholm as soon as possible and find out what is up with this.

Tuco and i go to the same yamaha dealer, and the mechanic there is very good. he knows exactly how to fix it and it is going to get fixed before my ride on sunday
Ekholm said just cut about 1/4" off each side since the threads take up about an inch, and put it back in and the problem is fixed. he said it is simply too long. By shortening it to the right length he also said you can get better weight transfer

So why didn't it come from Ekholm the correct way?

Most aftermarket skids are one size fits most. Since tunnels vary in width and design some modifications are required. No big deal really it would just help if they mentioned this sometime.

Oh, I see, thanks for the explanation.
