    I would really try again to warrenty them. That seems ridiculous that they would break that quickly. However, with the price, they have sacraficed things that will make it stronger and more expensive, and it was also made in china, so I dont know. Try to warrenty them again anyway.

    Ryan Riley (Sugarloafa),
    I noticed that you were selling these skis back in October on here.
    https://www.newschoolers.com/ns3/web/forums/readthread.php?thread_id=162353&
    We hadn't shipped any production quality skis out of our factory until November. For this reason, you must have bought one of our early prototyes from one of our product testers. I hope you realize that great skis aren't created on the first try just like you don't stomp a trick on your first try, thats the pupose of prototypes. We built over 20 different versions of the Invader dialing in flex, thickness, etc. until we got it right (with durability as one of the most important ingedients).
    Customer service works like all companies. Warranties must be handled by the shop that you purchased it from (not directly with us) and shops will not accept a warranty without proof of purchase from an authorized dealer. Since you didn't follow through with either of these, they had to refuse to warranty it. This is one of the reasons its important to buy product from a real authorized shop and if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is (as you've found out the hard way and good for everyone reading this to know).
    After spending time digging up the history on this ski and realizing you're now in a tough situation that you didn't forsee, we'll make a special arrangement with a shop near you to warranty the skis. Email me your contact info: jasonl@lineskis.com
    Thanks for riding Line,
    Jason
    PS: If we see car tire marks on the topsheet we may change our mind. ha ha

    what if they werent proto types and this problem happens to the rest of the us, it makes sense that it could because of the change in flex really quickly in the ski...the amount of pressure on this point really could make this seem like a possibility, although im probably wrong
