Where do the scratch fs's usually break, and how (jumping, landing on rails, etc.)? Thanks

yeah that right. I am still waiting for mine. They took them back to the drawing board for a while and now they should be bomb proof.

Word Powaircrew4life. I am waiting for mine too, should be another week. The scratches will not break anymore, trust me. Don't hesitate to buy them because of this.

Ok, I had a speakin to with my rep. He told me that they rearranged the layers of the construction of the ski, and doubled the thickness of the layer that holds on to the binding screws. Also, it is a new type of topsheet that is on the ski now so that it will not crack or chip. the edges of the topsheet are champhered now too, so this eliminates all problems with the ski.
