Should I ride with cracked cores?

I landed a little backseat on a major overshoot the other day, and now ive noticed both tails of my Chronics are now rockered, meaning the cores have either cracked/snapped by my guess. I have ridden them since and the only difference i can notice is edge grip is effected.

Is this a safe idea or should I look for some new skis?

It isn't overly dangerous, but it is just a matter of time until they totally snap on you.  If the base/edge/sidewall is cracked open at all then water will start getting in and the core will be rotted in no time.  However, if you don't mind you can keep riding them.  Bummer though.

theres nothing exposed from the broken cores, altho i do have a few core shots from rocks and sketch rails etc.

only one broke, so the others camber makes it look like less.  The tail was pretty floppy but still worked alright, riding switch it got a bit catchy when turning.  I got it warrantied and got my money back, but forgot to take off my S914s which Line somehow lost, =( so got the 220 I paid for the chronics + 125 for the 914s in store credit, which that and about 30 more got me new PCs.  Check with line, when did you get the skis?

I did the same thing on one of my Fujatives 2 seasons ago and I'm still riding them.  The edges aren't cracked and the core is not exposed at all.  You should still be good.
