so i got some used scotts for 50 bucks. theyve been mounted probly 3 times, mine being the 4th. the mounts started out at recommended and gradually moved forward till my mount (the 4th one) was at .25cm + center. not a good idea, but i liked the way they rode. so basically i was fs 270 out, landed switch, and they blew out. axial 2s broke on the little plastic track. wondering what i should do since i cant really remount the skis at +1.25 or +2. should i just get a new track for the axials, put epoxy in the holes and just screw them back in? the front two holes of the heel are done i think, and the back two holes are fine, see pics attached. i need a rock ski as the snow melts away and im on the west coast lol.

get new skis. You'd be really pissed if you tried to land while boosting, and the skis/bindings fail, and you get hurt.

They're done, too much material ripped out of the holes. I doubt a helicoil would even hold on to that very well.

p.s. never, ever, ever put epoxy in a screwhole you ever intend to perhaps one day remove that screw from. It's not there to hold the screw in, it's just there for waterproofing - a decent quality wood glue does a much better job.

yea man, i understand about the wood glue, but since the holes were destroyed i thought maybe epoxy would work but i guess not lol

Since they're just rock skis... I'd find a spot where you can mount them and get them on there. Fill the old holes and ski them until they snap in half.
