Durability

if ur gonna buy a pair of skis just for duraliabiity a guess the public enemies would be a good choice, they're bombproof
but wait and get next years walls cause they won't break like this years.

i say skis are meant to be broken/trashed.
thats why i buy cheap skis.
but generally, more durable=more weight
sure PEs might last you longer...
but they are 2x4s.

Yup.
My PEs are 3 seasons old and still in perfect shape. They are, however, lifeless, heavy, skis.

what were you doing when they broke and how did they break

old head mad trix are bomb proof

I broke PEs. I hit the tip on the support at the end of a rail and it cracked all the way across, and the edges broke on both sides. They didn't look too bad, so i skied on them for a bit but they got a lot worse. I didn't think the warranty would be valid any more, because they are 05/06s and had a lot of edge damage from rails. I then tried to glue them back together with contact cement, but the next time I went skiing, they just got even worse, and now there is wood sticking up through the crack. I'll post pics later maybe when I'm on a computer that has the pictures on it. And my name is HAnsel and I think this as i pretty cool story.
CLIFFNOTES: My Public Enemies broke.

first with the walls i went off a 20ft jump and the bindings ripped out and the ski cracked where the bindings were the dynastars broke when i was on a rail i ripped the metal edge off and the ninthwards i got for 50 bucks and i hit the rail on my last run of the first day on them and shattered the tip

Do NOT buy moments then haha

so... any skis will break.
