Well i bought a pair of the first STl's a couple years ago after about a half of a seasons use they delamed like a bitch... alright ill send them back.  MSP took em back like a bro sent me a new pair of the 07's right on taking care of their customers.  Breck spring of 07, like a 30mph fakie landing, rear pull-out.   4FRNTS cool they will hook me up, right MSP?  "Sorry man we only cover the first skis"... fuck, "well can i have my old ones back, because they were in better shape than these piles?"  Whatever fixed the pull out.  Second time out this year fakie landing (270 off about a 2' rail)   Boom ski goes flying past me, look back up the hill in sheer fright, yup!, binding sitting right behind the rail.  To my amazement the other one pulled out as well, not the fixed one but the other, in virgin holes..... OH GOOD!

Oh and for those of you reading this fast to get to the bottom to tell me they were mounted wrong...just wait.  They were mounted by a man who has been doing so for FOUR  times as long as 4FRNT has been a company.

Thanks guys (4FRNT Mfg.)

Thinking 4FRNT?  Think again...

I  had almost the same thing hapen, first day on my new arvs and bouble binding pull out landing switch.  Then my new moment reno jibs, first run on them i was nose pressin and they just ripped out.  I went back to Christys where they were mounted and they didnt do jack shit for me even though i buy shit from there all the time.  Its probly not the skis man its how they were mounted.

They were drilled with the wrong drill bit for sure. Ive had all sorts of 4frnt skis and most of them mounted with fks binders which are know for pulling out cause of thei tight rear hole patterns, im a big guy and eat shit regularly in the park and ive never pulled a binding off a 4frnt ski. Maybe its just bad luck!

Ive warrantied quite a few 4frnt skis though due to various delams, some of those were warrantied skis, and never had a problem. The trick here is not to call up 4frnt but to go trough a shop even if you didnt buy the skis there. Sure youll pay a few $ for shipping but its worth it. Ive never had a warranty denied when going trough a shop, they usually say I bought the skis there (even if I didnt) and voila. Its takes forever for 4frnt to get you new skis that way though. I waited 5 months for my new MSPs 187 last time.....and they got broken in the mail but thats another story. Fuck Comor sports in Burnaby, they are useless fucks.

i bet 4frnt is the only ski that a binding will rip out of. 

or maybe you happened to rip out your bindings and are making a generalization about the skis you own.  my friend ripped toe and heel out of a k2 ski in 1 week, that doesnt mean all k2 skis suck.  i'm sure there are a lot of factors that would cause a binding to rip out, and most of them aren't the actual ski

liberty skis look real good this year...considering stealing a pair from him, if i had a knee to ski on.

I had about 3-4 edge cracks in 3 runs at breck on my new TNKs.
