Well the other day one ski kept popping off for no reason so i took it in to rentals and checked all the pressure and stuff. Then me and some mates were sitting down, and i had my foot in my binding, with the ski so that it was like standing up on the tail (while I was sitting down). Then one of my friends (snowboarder), pretty big kid flexed the ski as hard as he could, and for the first time I thought it was actually going to break. He put alllll of his weeight on it, and now the tail is like rockered!!! its the ski on the right. Pretty angry

Ohh the one where the tail ripped out and you got like new ar6s or something?? Or maybe that wasnt you.. But my only problem is I bought them in the states but I live in NZ, so probably wont do much down here
