The team at BLOCK Riser Innovations has spent the last three years prototyping and 3D printing risers that think outside the box. In 2013 the StashBLOCK was born and not until 2014 did we realized we had something truly special with the BettyBOX riser system. We were able to create any insert we wanted with only the deck and trucks the limit.
As an Ocean Beach San Diego based company BLOCK Risers was fortunate enough to meet the guys over at Jelly Skateboards and we immediately knew it was the perfect match to release our new skateboard risers. A clear deck means BLOCK Risers are always in view, making it the best functional display.
BLOCK's patent pending riser system allows you to swap out different inserts like the StashBLOCK and GoBLOCK. Have a GoPro? Mount it to your top mount or drop thru to catch some killer views while you skate! Want to keep something a secret? Stash it with the all-new StashBLOCK! Hide valuables underneath your skateboard while you're on the move.
GoBLOCK GoPro® Mount
GoBLOCK provides a view like no other: less vibrations, killer angles and never in the way of your feet when you ride. Built with a dual finger release mechanism, locking tabs keep your GoPro® mounted securely with vibration restraints. The result is the lowest profile mount for a skateboard. The GoBLOCK locks simply and securely into the BettyBOX housing.
Just lock it in and capture your epic ride!
StashBLOCK Drawer
Need a place to stash your keys or some extra cash? StashBLOCK has a storage compartment to keep all your most desired possessions safe. StashBLOCK fits any board & stores your stuff with an optional top cover for a drama free ride. The StashBLOCK features a living hinge so the only way out is up.
How to Install
There are several things that can be done to increase the fit of your BLOCK inserts. Most every time the following steps will get your BLOCKs where they need to be as most every skateboard setup is in some way different.
When not ridding, check the fit of the insert. Does it have any movement side to side or up & down?
Side-to-side
-Verify the gap spacing in the opening of the BettyBOX.
1. Loosen the hardware on the open end of the riser.
2. Place your BLOCK insert into the locked position.
3. Squeeze the outside of the BettyBOX together to eliminate any additional gaping, while doing so tighten the hardware on the open end.
Up & Down
1. With the BettyBOX in place and skate hardware tightened check the amount of play/wiggle. If the BLOCK insert can move up and down while installed the gap needs to be filled.
Gauge the gap using a business card or sheet of paper. To fill the void space use the paper shim or another option is applying tape or flashy sticker as a more permanent solution.
