So guys here is my problem. bought brand new afterbangs after last season. Used them really for the first time yesterday on my backyard setup. was looking at them today and found they are chipping :( i have heard this happens quite often with afterbangs? I am disappointed because the were advertised as being really "tough". thanks +k for helpful answers.

1. gear talk forum
2. afterbangs dont have a legit top sheet.
3. they graphics are gonna chip like crazy
4. graphics dont matter
5. afterbangs are advertised as tough. they mean durability.

any ski ever made at some is going to run into top sheet chipping. it happens. its just cosmetic damage and wont affect the way the ski skis.

Chipped afterbang topsheets looks really sick imo! Especially about the edges. looks like the base of a well used skateboard. Looks a lot better than chipped fibre glass... It is a ski to be used and abused after all...
