Insane

so I just broke my old rossi scratch ghettos on my summer setup after taking a nice tip dip into the dirt after a 270, snapping it right above the toe piece.

such a bummer when skis break, even though everything was fucked up with those skis haha.

anyone have any good stories of breaking a ski?

I was sword fighting with a buddy and accidentally swung and hit a wall and they snapped right behind the heel piece.

Were said skis made of plaster by chance? Or are you just the hulk?

Well they were very old and extremely water damaged because of a puddle jump that day. Plus I do take pride in my extremely large body mass.

And here is a pic to prove. ( I am second to left in the surboard shorts but I am sure that you could have guessed that.)

i tried to gap from a little patch of snow, down maybe 5 feet of rock onto the trail and somehow caught my nose on a bush, my board slammed into the rocks and broke just in front of the front binding, then my whole body twisted around and jammed the tail into the snow, snapping the tail off right behind my back binding. it was a salomon sanchez and the board was 11 days old. three seperate pieces...
