i jumped a nice size 25 footer (cliff) and snapped a ski, i have triplets so i was like, that doesnt matter i guess thats why they give you 3, but the next weekend i hopped off a lil 15 foot rock (done it before so no biggy) and it effin snapps in half, i hadnt realized the inside of my skis are foam, is this right?? and has anyone else had trouble with atomic triplets?

How do you break a ski? I have jumped off a ton of rocks and a few decent sized cliffs and never done anything to my skis. I think last year the biggest cliff I dropped was like around 40 feet and I jumped onto shitty icy landings before. Atomic must really suck.

Are you landing really backseat onto not super soft landings? Thats just a force that skis tend not to do so good at handling. I had a pair of atomics a few years ago and they didn't hold up super well, but I heard they were better these days... couldn't tell ya for sure though.

So are atomics just bad or have they gotten it together?

They are sick now. Punx are one of the best park skis, and urban pux are supposed to be sick, and the bent chetller looks ill
