K so i had the spur of the moment idea. Im goin to hood this summer and ive noticed that all the hood thugz are reppin the skinny rockered skis. So i thought to myself, im pretty hood, i need some rockered skiny skis cuz my chopstick are just way to wide! So i took my brand new volkl walls and drove my truck on them to give em sum rocker. So far its working pretty well. i just wanted some other opinions.

Pretty good idea hey.

I hope this is a joke, in which case it's pretty funny. If it's not, you sir need some serious help.

Lol. I don't know if that can be called rockering rather than folding them in half, but walls with a total riding surface of just a few inches would be teh ub3r pwnz0rz.

Don't worry, that should be covered under warranty, give Volkl a call and explain your situation.

See if you can get them warrantied. Most ski companies cover things like automobile rockering damage in their warranties.

haha that's awsome, i actually did it last year with a pair of armada ARV 165s cause i was to small for fat powder ski... they turned out pretty good though, that's is for skiing pow and pow only, once i started hitting cliffs and backcountry booters they feel apart. luckily enough now i;m big enough for a rockerd JJ, man i love that ski!

hahahaha I'm not really one to talk cause my post count isn't high, but your post count name (Newb) truly represents what you just did.

well......

this is newschoolers, and an experienced skier like myself knows that you dont base how well you know skiing based on how high your "post count" is. So what if i havent posted many replies to threads. I just wanted to show everybody my amazing idea that turned out not as i had hoped. But i guess i wont be expecting any replacement skis from you.

haha I never said you weren't good at skiing, I just saw the word newb beside a picture of your broken ski and it just seemed to go together. Probably wasn't one of the smarter things you've done, just saying. Sorry if I offended you.

Yeah because everyone can go skiing every evening or every day in the summer...

And haha holy shit this is hilarious. I'm actually on the line of thinking whether this is a hilarious joke or a dumb move... And the italics/bold/quotation marks/underline is funny too for some reason. Thanks for making my day better.
