180 explosion

me and my boy were skiing the other day, just lapping the park. we said we were going to both do 180 japans over the last table. so i go up, do my thing, am about to stomp it, and as soon as i hit the snow my binding explodes. so i am going pretty fast and landing off a pretty big table backwards and then all of a sudden i am doing backflips down the mountain. i probably flipped a good five or six times before i finally came to a stop. i was like 'damn, that was fucking tight', then i look down at my ski and my shitty ass salomon binding has broken into three different pieces at the heel, ending my day on the mountain and causing me to have to pay for a new pair of bindings before i can go up again. i know this is a pointless story, i just felt like sharing my experience

it would have been funnier if your binding would have caught on fire too.
