So my 4frnt's are pooping out on me after 8 days, and i'm getting the feeling that i won't be getting anything warranty-wise, and watch life's are affordable, and from what i hear, awesome.

but i have a few questions, and yes i did search. Are they a long 183, or a short 183? i am only 5 8 and i am not wanting a 173, because it is too short.

also, how about the durability? i have heard some good things about how durable they are, but they are capped, so, im just wondering. I can't have 2 pairs break on me in a season....

Anyone had issues with warrantying? Good and bad experiences, please speak up.

and lastly, do i have to wear tight pants?ahhahahah jk jk.

my tnk's edge are falling off the ski, there is a bubble in the base, and what looks like stress fractures below the p-tex.

you have to wear tight pants, and get bad at skiing. only do 180s, crapy nose bonks, and stick to only safety grabs. i guess you could probably drop off a bilboard that is 6 feet off the ground if you want too. also you need to talk about how skiing needs a change reallyyy bad, even though you know that there arnt enough people who are good enough at skiing yet for it to need any sort of change

on a lighter note, they are not that big, im 5-8 and they seemed bearable to me holding them to my side. although they are cap. and that scares me
