Replying to Has this ever happened to you...
I was skiing stratton a few weeks back and overshot a jump a little bit to switch. I didn't land on flats or anything, I just landed switch a little harder than usual. Immediately, both skis eject, even though I landed completely straight and balanced.
So I keep skiing, and when the end of the day comes around I check out my bindings and one of the heel pieces has ripped the topsheet and part of the core up, so there's a crack through the ski.
I took it to a shop to see if there's anything I could do about it and told the guy about what happened. He said that what's been happening to a lot of kids lately is they're landing switch, and pressure comes off the pedal that controls the breaks. So the breaks stick into the snow, and since you're going switch, they dig in really hard and eject you immediately, sometimes fucking up your ski or binding. Long story short, I have to buy new skis because the warranty was up, so that was about 500 in unforseen expenses.
So, I was just wondering if this happened to anyone else, and if there are certain bindings that never do this (I was riding rossi scratch bindings from a couple years ago on my ar6s).
