I did.  6th day using them on groomers, trees, jumps and boxes. no rails.  Edges are coming out on both skis.  Brand new Salomon threats.  Bought on ebay so no manufacturer warranty. What a misforune!

you obviously don't know what poor is... Wait till you are renting an apartment, paying for food, and paying for college.

You ever paid for rent? Or food? didn't think so...

My buddy Phil broke 3 pairs of last years hellbents (all snapped, twice under toe, once under heel). This year he has "only" busted one pair of Kuros, But he has broken 5 pairs of Jester shitzos this year...

Phil is a beefcake...

no, 5 pairs of bindings. He snapped the toe pieces 3 times, a heel plate once, and the cable thing once as well.

He has "only" broken 1 pair of skis this year, and 3 last year.

Cork 5's and 9's have destroyed so many pairs of my skis. i hate it. Broken noses (skis) and concussions are all that come out of cork 5's. The worst trick ever.


But if you're in need of a new ski for next season we will be having a sale around august for next year's stuff for pennys on the doller

Unfortunately they are about 1.5 years old. Your warranty only last 1 year right?

Back in December I didn't close the ski rack and my practically brand new Surface Nine Lifes and FKS 155s fell off the car on the freeway and got run over by a lot of trucks and cars.

I've seen 2 pairs of A-bangs snap like a skateboard.

One time my buddy got his ski stuck in a box at glen eden (an afterbang 177) and it snapped right in half. He ranted to the Park Staff/Simon and they actually refunded him for any ski he wants from Corbetts. So sick!

Any ski would probably snap from that.

Maybe yes maybe no, he was barely moving. Regardless he got a free set of pow skis and i got bindings from the whole ordeal, so were stoked haha.

frictional forces are greater at slow speeds. His bindings probably would have popped off if he was going faster.
