SteezMcGeeJust set a new personal record, 6 days🤘🏻. Bases cracked in multiple spots, core cracked, topsheet delam, sidewall blown out underfoot, and more edge cracks than you can shake a stick at. :)
cydwhitI broke the tip on my first pair of touring skis my first day using them, on like the third turn of my first run. Went over the bars, caught a tip in mud under the snow and broke the ski. Still used them for the rest of the year with one floppy tip. Wasn't great.
Also managed to put a 9 inch core shot in my brand new Deathwish before I'd ever even made a turn. Went to straight line a chute from the parking lot, found a rock before I even did my shutdown turn. Filled it and they are fine a year later.

CatdickBojanglesI second this
SofaKingSickSnapped a pair i was demo-ing like 5 runs in. hit a surprise cat track going fast as fuck and exploded but didn't notice the ski was snapped until i returned them an hour later... i was too busy making sure a body part hadn't snapped
it was super awkward in the room and kind of only got worse when i pointed out that i had paid for the insurance for like $5. so i was off the hook but i felt bad because what the hell does a $5 insurance charge do to help them? brutal lol
BLandzA few seasons back I was riding some ON3P Kartel 96’s brand new that I bought on NS and I rode them for a couple days (hardpack only, no park) and outta nowhere the whole ski delammed and I ate shit. After further inspection I realized I was actually riding 2015 Faction Candide 1.0’s (the white ones) with very poorly painted on Kartel graphics. This made me super pissed so I msged the guy who scammed me and found out through IP tracking that it was actually Will Berman. When I asked him why he did it, he told me Faction sent him the wrong skis he actually wanted 2.0’s because “anyone who rides 90 waist width is a fucking pussy.”

SteezMcGeePunx 7
friesGot a new pair of skis this season, only been skiing them since december. Maybe 10 days total. Snapped them at bbowl yesterday when i fucked up a 360. not sure how because i literally only went 12 inches in the air, but i'm hoping they get warrantied.
i dont even have a cool story to tell boys, i ate shit under the lift and everyone laughed at me. that's the truth right there

TRVP_ANGELand you bought the candides for tree fitty and will berman turned into the lochness monste
Nicholas.SuchyI consistently broke punx in 8 days. Side walls would collapse and then base would crack length wise. went through 5-6 rounds of warranty before I decided to switch skis. Also snapped a pair of Rossi soul 7’s in 4 hours hitting a cliff, but they weren’t brand new, just skis I was borrowing from a friend.
