Rip my outsiders

Went over a covered patch of rocks. It got epoxied in this spot before due to a bad edge crack, hence why it ruptured here. Is it worth getting epoxied again?

The edge will only get worse but if you keep it on the outside you can get some more life outta them. Maybe a day, maybe 15 who knows.

I mean they can't become more broke so you may as well give it a shot right?

It's been on the outside. Idec about holding an edge I just don't want this shit to rupture again. Probably unusable for park at this point?

As long as that edge isn’t the leading edge you could probably epoxy the fuck out of it and get a little more life out of it

If you think you'll like them you probably will. They're rad af especially if you're a good skier. Full review pt. 2 coming soon especially since I just finished my last day at Big Sky

Not sure if paying for repair or learning to DIY it is worth it, especially since i'm probably gonna be using it on boxes/tubes/rails this spring

Still usable the edge will just continue to pull out. Ski em till you can't anymore, just don't expect them to last much longer if you like edges.
