    Dont the new Salomon Suspects and Dumonts have threading going from edge to edge in the ski to hold them together?

    Edge repair?

    You could put two screws in to keep it in place. I wouldnt really suggest it, just keep it out and epoxy like the guy above me said.

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    It is just flat. When I was talking to the guys at the shop they said they thought it was an older edge that had been used, probably to cut costs. There is nothing used to anchor it in, just a 1cm flat piece.

    Well, if you ever need someone to do product testing on Mt. Shasta, let me know, I suppose I could sacrifice some of my time to help you out. ;-)

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    Dude, I know. You obviously have more experience with them than I, but I am not a noob when it comes to looking at broken skis. . . It was very weird! Now that I am in the market for new skis. . . What are your park skis going for? It would be sick to rock some ON3Ps at my local hill...

    I will try. I will go to the shop today after school and see if I can snag a few higher quality pictures of it. I feel like an idiot for not doing it sooner. It seemed extremely strange to me as well, especially for a 'freestyle' company. Even race skis I have had used the T anchor things.

    4Frnt Feedback / Info

    Yeah, I created a thread a few days ago about how shitty my 4frnts were. it is under gear talk. It was fun to ski, but shitty construction. They use subpar edge construction, which is awesome if you want to take your edge out easily. Fuck 4frnt.

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    1st - Ok, I bought the skis directly from 4frnt. There are no local shops that carry 4frnt around here, so taking them to a shop is very difficult. 2nd - I attempted to clarify what had happened, I see that several people were confused and seem to be misled but it was the SECOND run of the...

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    its from my phone, but the edge was pulled out to the tail. it happened on my second run slashing the side of a jump. I hammered it back in and rode for the rest of the day. it happened again on what was inevitably the last run. Between the first and second time I would hammer it back in...

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    Its not just that the ski broke, its that the edge they used is obviously inferior, and their customer service sucked. I felt jipped, and felt that fellow skiers should hear about my experience and feelings. I have broken skis before, and I know what a ski should be able to take. these skis...

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    Right in the middle, and it ripped out all the way to the tail. So its not just a peice missing in the middle, but the entire edge.

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    Yeah, I have always gone with k2, but I am poor and had to go with the cheapest option available. I would really just like to warn people about the problems I have been witness too, and try to help people avoid getting scammed. I would also like it if 4frnt would read what people are saying...

    4frnt: Worst ski construction ever?

    To clarify; it was my first day of the season. They had been used the season prior.
