Scratching you Scratches

Has anyone with Scratches, or previous owners of Scratches, noticd that little chunks of te paint from the ski will fall of? It's as if an entire chunk (always beside the edge) will just start to peel away. I have Scrathes FS from last season (red and yellow top, black/yellow base). Any information about this or an explanation as to why this is happening would be appreciated. As well, if you know how to fix these scratches that are already there, please post....

that's cause you have the rubber top sheet and unfortunatly that's the nature of rubber. i have the new bc's 2nd production and they got rid of the rubber top sheet on them, the first print of the bc's this year had them but then they scraped them because of that, not much you can do about it unfortuantly

at my shop we have this stuff called ski saver and it's just a roll of long clear, strong sticker that you put on the topsheet. we mainly use it over stickers or to put on the rental skis but im sure it'd work great for the scratches

hmm, never heard of 1080's doing that, that's just strange. Even with the Scratches chipping like they do, the do not however, scrath, which is awesome (awsome?) Anyway, Scratches rule, and thanks for all the input guys...

Yeah the rubber top sheets on mine are all chipped from crossing the skis, but i still prefer the rubber to the non-rubber versions. Plus when it chips off, its bright yellow underneath.

I put stickers all over them... like all my skis... I don't know if it actually helps that much, but my top sheets are in pretty good shape.
