ya whats the fun of that then, they are made for jibbing, so keep jibbing on them, if they break or the edges get fucked up, try and warranty them, if not then ur shit out of line and get a job and get a new pair of sticks... I have em, and have no complaints

very true.... i guess if you are that worried about delaming them, get a shitty pair of skis for rails.. and keep the Tm's for riding everything.... cause I guess they are an expensive pair of skis if you are going to worry about them.. either way its all good

ya true, you can get the tm's real cheap though if you work in a shop. 250 for skis and the tm binding mmmmmmm what a deal,especially when your dad pays for it

YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM JIBBING WITH TM'S UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY BAD AND CONSTANTLY FUCK UP ON RAILS

I plan on riding my TM's hard this winter and grinding a ton of rails to see if I can get a new pair from Dynastar at the end of the season. If not, it will be a good excuse to buy a new pair... which I might have to pay for.

I like em, but after a summer of skiing at this point the edges are cracking and beginning to fall out

i really cannot understand how someone can dislike them...in the last three days i've spent tons of time in the park stomping really big jumps, in powder, in crud, on groomed, and on ice, and they were absolutely amazing on all of them. i wouldn;t change a thing about them

i've heard nothign but good things about their warranty
and even if it is bad, the amazing skis known as TM's make up for it

yeah my friend tried to send back a pair of his TM's and the base was all fucked up near the edge. They said they couldnt replace them for free but he could buy a new pair for 250. I guess that it was probably his fault though not Dynastars that his base got fucked up.

they only thing i didn't like about the tm was that the tail wasn't as stiff as i like. i could over power it. i can ollie a lot higher with my pe's then with a pair of tm's.
