yes you should warranty that shit. why is this even a question? you broke your skis, send them back. go to the store you bought them at and see if they will do it, that is the best bet, and if they dont send them back yourself. there is really no reason to worry about it, it will be in a pretty reasonable time frame and you will probably get brand new skis, dont be stupid. i warranty every pair of skis that i fuck up because they always get replaced and if they break you deserve a new pair.

Thanks for the help everyone. i sent pictures to armada HQ. they will examine it and see if they will replace them. But waiting 3 weeks is still a bitch and my winter break is in 2 weeks.

No sarcasm what so ever. It sucks especially when its season. And i tried putting up pics earlier but didnt come out. So w.e. just imagine having one tail slightly rockered.

That picture is way too big, and I can't see anything because of where you focused.

there's been a couple of threads on this happening..... whats going on??

Should you expect x number of ski's in say 100 to rocker (i.e. fail structurally)

What do the ski co's say on this? Where's the QC on materials? Especially cores.... ? Has me wondering anyway... if you pay $400+ for a pair of ski's, they should be designed and capable of being used exactly like they are in all the ski companies marketing (edits etc).... and do so for seasons.. not weeks.
