ive bent the hell out of my breaks. even ripped some right off. if you are havin trouble bending them back, put it in a peice of pipe and then try. im having more trouble now with breaks that dont release. riding down with only one, hunting for a ski that kept goin when you stopped sucks.

yeah the brake on my S912's is real messed up, I have to tuck it on top of my ski so it doesn't drag along the ground.

yeah my salomon bindings suck major cock, the brakes go up but they dont come down unless you throw them against the ground.

my tyrolias dont break but every time my bindings clip from a bail, my breaks go down and then they get all stuck and it takes like 10 minutes to get them ok again.

my brakes are bent. Not too bad though. My friend ripped em out doing 180's.

My girlfriend told me to shove my skis up my ass

My 1080 bindings broke after the second day of using them, just unclicked after one softish landing and the whole brake just fell off. French fuckers charged me 20 euros for a new one. Wankers

popping out of your skiis 180 is what kills your breaks, just stockpile like 5 pairs so you don't care if they break

never buy atomic bindings, there shit. best are tyrolia, cause thats all they do, make bindings. there super solid and last. i like to cut as much of the plastic at the bottom of the brake as i can, they wont get caught

Solution-buy better bindings, ie not salomon, those things break like no other. My looks have been sweet, the breaks do what theyre supposed to do and the binding doesnt fly off when I spin or land just a little off.
