holy shit me and 2 of my friends all have the same binding and everysingle one of us broke them within a week doing 5's and landing on the tips of our skis! safe to say that rossi makes cheap bindings!! one of us was on on our first time hitting a jump with them!

No rossi does not make cheap bindings..their bindings arent made to stop a ski going backwards..to fix your brake problems stop your landings and ride away like a g

this happens with all breaks on all skis. so you should just stomp your tricks and afterbang correctly to avoid it.

yeah your brakes are probably too wide for your skis, they are made to fit almost ontop of the ski when the brakes are up.
