i went through a whole ordeal to send my 1080's back last season it took them 5 months to get them back.(the ends split open)

my third time on them they re-opened so i ahve no skis and the season just started. and my friends new thruster's ends split as well on the first time he used them.

point of the story, dont buy salomon freestyle skis.

I've had no problems with my pocket rockets, maybe I'm just lucky. They make OK skis, but their bindings are just plain dangerous, that's my only complaint about the company.

I have the 1080 boot, it rocks your mothers vag, and I used salomon bindings for a long time. Look/Rossi is better, but Salomon isnt bad as long as you get a decent binding.

^^ i agree with you on that saolomon has crazy boots im just so frustrated with their lack of awarness on their skis.

its a very very common problem for them i eman i know tons of people who had the same problem. and their new models still have the same flaw.

Well make up your mind, you say you disagree with me, then in the same sentence you say the boots are good, and the skis are decent.

I said they make good quality shit, which they do, but like every other ski company, not everything is amazing. To many people hop on the salomon-hate bandwagon

my experience is that if you land switch and eject with salomon bindings, they implode. maybe it was just mine though.

If your tails split just epoxy them back together, seen it done on a pair of 99-00 1080's! Top sheet on the tip split from the base, then just glued it back together until retirement.

I have always found a mix of epoxy and ductape to work the best with delamination

for everyone who ses salamon bindings suck its cause you have like the 810 or the ti those bindings are plasic. just get the 914s and your set they dont break and you stay in.

saloman boots are sick.. bindings are okay i guess.. and the skis are good for lighter skiers they have a lot of flex in them..

I broke my Salomon bindings first time out this season, it took them about 3 1/2 weeks even though they said it would be done in a week and a half. But they fixed them, I can't complain.

Salomon sucks!!!!!!
I have broken every pair that I have owned in one way or another!! My last pair were a pair of PR's with 8 days on them. I sent them back 2 me and told me that there was nothing they could do 4 me.
Get a real ski, somthing not made of foam!!

Oh ya and the bindings suck 2!!

Salomon are emo skis!!!!
