I broke my binding (rossignol freebinding like the look barrel ones) tonight when i ejected from one foot doing a 540, i got up and wasnt hurt at all but i went to put my binding back on and my brakes wouldnt go all the way back up and were dragging on the ground. after further inspection the part under the thing that pushes the brakes up was broken and i couldnt fix it without doing anything that the dealer wouldnt like me to do.

any suggestions that you have are appreciated (does a warranty cover it?)

Yea, same EXACT thing happened to me. But only i was doing a 180 and cleared the tables landing by a good 10ft. Just get a new break. Extremely easy to fix.

happens to me all the time, i just move stuff around, it usually works, i have done this primarily because i was unaware that you could purchase new brakes

They shouldn't even charge you for them. My shop replaced my brake without even asking when I bought them.

anyone know of a really solid binding that'll take alot of abuse? I've gone through 4 sets of bindings in the last year or so and I'm sick of getting them repaired.

OMG OMG THAT HAS NEVER HAPPEN TO ME!!!!

Let's face it, no one posts anything serious on NS, and even if I wanted to, it would be answered by some not-so-clever variation of the following:
'You're gay', 'you suck', 'I fucked your mom last night', 'Eat shit', 'fuck you', or my favourite, 'I'm a better skier than you'. Jib_This
