Hey this week I was skiing aand I hit a rock and it took a chunck out of my bottom. I was wondering if I could fix it myself or do i have to take it to the shop to be fixed.

Take it to a good local shop. Have them fill it with the same color as your base. If you have any old color fill you will have a hard time reselling it if you ever want too.

I always use balck ptex. You can heat it better so it holds better. And if it's the wrong colour base, then you wear your black marks like battle wouds.

black p-tex make sure u drip it on holding the flaming p-tex very close to the base to prevent ash and bubbles to fors not allowing it to stick

I always use contrasting colours, having battle scars are sweet. and yah it'll probably be cheaper to buy some ptex and do it yourself, unless its a gnalry one.
