my friends mounting problem

My friend has mad trixs (03/04) and he had them remounted at the ski shop at the hill. They already had demo bindings in but they didn't work well, so he put his old bindings on them. The shop mounted the new bindings on the ski backwards, with the black part in the front. Now the tail is higher than the tip and etc. so that means if they were to fix it, it would be the 3rd time mounting, which i'd say is bad. The ski shop is closed since the season is over. What to do?

yeah man, three times is sort of sketchy. There have been a couple of people who have snapped multi-drilled skis. Generally up to three is okay, but if you were to land hard on a rail I would think it might break. I could be wrong.

'can you read what that says?'
'donna simma?'
'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'
'simma, donna?'
'that's right now Simma down na!

They fucked up mounting the ski. They'll try to tell your buddy that a third drilling isn't an issue, and they might be right, but well placed comments, letters and emails will get your bro a new pair of skis. Or should, rather.

Perhaps a call to your friendly neighbourhood Head rep calmly and cooly explaining the situation would help. Go through another, much better shop if possible. And your friend should act as disappointed and as sad as humanly possible, and 'appreciate' everything the new ski shop does for him.

at all the shops around my place there is that little sticker in the middle of the ski that says bigmountain(arrow pointed towards blue) and big air(arrow points to white). i still agree that he mounted it wrong for you since you obviously wanted blue in the back, just go back and slap him in the face.

The skis can be mounted to way big moutain or big air, in big air position the ski is actually going backwards, if your freind told him he was doin jumps or like freestyle, they most likely got mouted this way

Who wants a narrower tip than tail? Does turn initiation and turn release not matter at all to you people?
