just got some up's a few days ago, love them so far but anyways earlier today before i went out i was scraping them down to wax them noticing a nice chunk of the base missing between the underfooting, the hit goes down through the base to a metallic like material. My local shop said that i should proally warrenty them but it doesnt seem that serious outside of a simple fix. The local shop is the only one i trust with my skis around here but they wont fix them

ill post a pic once my phone syncs with my computer donno why it isnt :( stupid iphones

The base on Urban Punx, as the durability of the rest of the ski is complete shit.

They're the new park version. You can have your new prototype if you buy some punx or urban punx then case a gap jump.

lol

well my phone isnt uploading the pics

but why is there a metal base on the punx? ive done similar damage to a pair of last years pe's i picked up cheap for some urban and after the base it was straight core but on these theres like a metal layer, should the ski be fine because i teach at my local hill and refuse to wear bacons teaching kids how to do groomers waiting for my punx to come back ><
