i ripped it out of my hellbents and have them one back from center but don't want to remount by moving my binding, will remounting in the same spot be a problem?

wierd that it didn't release....you should bring it back to the tech who mounted it for you and have him fix it.....FO FREE

same thing happened to my Moment Tahoes! I made a little booter and spinnin' some 3's off of it and i came up a little underotated and landed sideways, my bindings ejected and i slammed my shoulder on the ground (not much snow), but i noticed my back binding on one of the skis was unscrewed so ya take them to your shop and tell them coil them, or the remount the back binding then adjust it forward again and they should be as good as new!

while we're on the subject,

I was carving switch on my first pair of bents, and ripped out my heel-piece
I got a pair of 09/10 bents and ripped off a toepiece doing a nollie 180 off a wallride
my last pair of surface's pulled out when I under-rotated a frontflip to my back

being big and shredding hard just comes with pullouts I guess, it doesn't help that I like softish pow skis
