Accidentally bent my brakes

[Squid.]

Today I landed switch and popped out on a sketchy backyard setup and my brake got bent forward. Now it sticks out and drags when I ski. How can I fix it?
I don't want to break it, but I've tried bending it by hand and it hasn't helped.

Never mind, I fixed it

 

[pigglywiggly]

just curious, how did you fix it?

They don't look wide enough - try tweaking them out a bit so they don't get caught up on the sidewall, it can be a huge pain when that happens.

They were fine before I fell.
I fixed them by getting a ski pole without the grip, putting it over the brake, and using it as a lever to bend them back into place

What? I was just trying to show how the brake drags when the boot is clicked in.

jesters. but im not one to judge, i also use those same trendy products

 

[BWalmer]

I have the same...but with the new Pivots, I think that makes me worse...haha.

Jesters?! That kid looks like he weighs 6 pounds! Christ, i guess spending more money on higher din bindings is all the rage too huh? More money spent and more knees blown. My guess is he's 5'10, 155 lbs, and has a 310 bsl and rides at a 13 (purely speculation)

Woah close. I'm 160 and I ride at an 8 din though. I picked up the Jesters because I found a deal on them and they were a birthday present. I figure since they have more metal, they will last longer because I plan on riding this setup for a long time.
I got the Booters because they fit my foot very nicely and I don't have the money for Hot Doggers or other FT boots. The previous models were sold out in my size.
