KABOOOM!!!

no, but seriously, I have seen 09's pretty much explode, the entire base ripped out with the edges still attached, and no, they wouldn't warranty it. However, I have heard that this years (2010s) have been fixed, but I don't know that for certain.

Just what I heard from people who have ridden the 2010 ski, I haven't seen or ridden the 2010, so I don't know - I still wouldn't trust it until it proves itself.

If the first two sucked, why would you buy a third?

maybe he was on a ski team with some sort of discount sponsorship, or he only had access to salomon pro forms and no other brands

or maybe he just liked the way they skiied until they exploded and just kept hoping the next pair would last

I work at a shop and can get them pro formed. If they break i can get new ones. So how are their performance as a ski.
