Thank you for screwing up my skis.
I took my MSP's to be mounted at -2 from freeride and the shop screwed it up so bad they had to go back (3 of the 4 pieces were not even touching the ski, anywhere from 2mm to 6mm off the ski, the toe pieces werent even centered 2mm to the one side...)
anyways i take them back to get fixed and now because they screwed up, they cant be mounted at the same spot (meaning a THIRD remount now) all because they lied to me saying they had the wide tyrolia jig... Turns out they don't, and my skis got fucked up because of it.
Now im pissed because my MSP's have been mounted 3 times (now they are weak as hell because there is now another set if drill holes) and now they gotta be mounted closer to center. The -2 position from freeride (which is where i wanted them, they tipdive at center) is fucked and now i got ride basically freeride (more centered then i want)...
great...

If Sean, or any one else who's standing up for ryan, because the shop fucked him, ran a shop, we wouldn't have to have the budget. If we didn't have a wide jig, we wouldn't try to mount that shit. On top of that, you have to be an idiot to look at a pair of skis, fuck them up, and expect it to be ok when they're mounted a third time. That's not how it works. The whole structural integrity of the ski is compromised. I had a pair of PE's remounted once, and in half a day, I snapped them at the old mounting points. A third time is fucked up. Noodles. That shop needs to buy him some fucking skis.

thats total bullshit though. you cant say what you're doing is right just because other shops dont do it. lets break it down, your sshop promised ryan that they could safely mount his bindings.he was skeptical of this because msp's are on the wider side of the ski spectrum. your shop assured him that it could be done. he gets his skis back, and sure enough, the skis are fucked.
and that shit you said before about telling him to ride the skis, and if they broke, bring them in. fuck that! with his bindings not properly attached to the ski, his skis are dangerous, and ryan could get seriously injured, or even die. would you like to have a lawsuit because someone got hurt as a result of the false promises of your shop? think this one through man. you're just making it worse for yourself, and your shop

They are a hell of a lot softer then i thought (heard MSP's were stiff, me coming off madtrix). Kinda skied like crap compared to my Madtrix in the slushy conditions today but thats the ski, not the numberous times they have been mounted.
seem alright though, lucky for me none of the holes are showing so I'll see how it goes.
If they do snap or i have problems with them, i will expect Mt Kirby to do everything they can for a warrenty.

i was pretty sure msp's were really really stiff. sterbenz is a big guy and he doesnt even flex them that much

funny story, ryan likes to do huge nose butters, he pops without taking his tips off the ground and does a 180, with the trix the skis dont flex that much but with the msp's they do, anyways half way through one of his 180's he ejected and ate shit
