How much gear have you killed?

RudyGarmisch · 2011-02-20 23:55:02

Whats your kill list? Not talking like wear and tear or neglect, (softgoods are out) - we're talking like, "I tore a new FKS into 12 pieces when I fell and ejected". Stuff you caused to actually FAIL and break. Make your death list, and just for shit and giggles, put a * next to stuff you got warrantied. Mines pathetic. GINKO'S DEATH LIST: - Dakine Heli Pack * (and still using it, the fixes held) Gogogogogogo

broken look rental binding, shattered one of the toe wings

snapped a brake on some look px12

ripped out a serious amount of edge on some rossignol scratch blings

broken numerous poles (now my scott p4 poles are holding up excellent after 3y, its a record!)

cracked a helmet, also prior to cracking, snapped the chinstrap

gloves, after about a year they're worn out

cracked a pair of SPY blizzard lenses

broken zipper on a peak jacket (just from wear and tear)

broken zipper on my Deuter freerider backpack, so used the other end of the zipper, later that year one of the shoulderstraps tore out and i decided to retire that pack
