I need a diagnosis for my ON3Ps...

"On3p: Even Broken, They're Better Than Your Skis!"

Haha... this is actually the first issue I've heard of.
 
some of you idiots are, idiots. esp the kid who said hes seen this happen to alot of skis, and the kid that didnt read a single reply.

anyway. have fun!
 
Clearly you didn't read my post completely. I said that these aren't UNEXPECTED, the company has to assume that out of all of the pairs they make, some skis will be warrantied. I understand that they are busting ass, and that every pair warrantied is a pair not sold. But what I'm saying, in the grand scheme of things, these costs were expected and anticipated.
 
If a company replaces a customers broken ski they are more likely to get repeat business. So the loss sucks for the young company who has to eat a pair of skis, but they may have a lifetime customer. Clearly ON3P has stated that they will help this guy out. Respect.
 
Yeah, I'm definitely buying ON3P for next year. Are next years skis going to go on a presale again? If so, when? I'm debating whether or not I should buy Jeronimos this year or wait until next year to see if I want one of the new pairs.
 
k2 has china

on3p has scott and rowen

its quite the more hassle for them to make a brand new pair of skis that will cost a few hundred bucks and ship them off to some kid who broke his cuz he cant do a 5

but its legit as fuck that they will do that and i want some on3p's
 
could this have happened because onep planes their cores?

seems like it to me. could have easily been just a weak spot in the core, which is bound to be present in a few of your skis.
 
oh i understood that the core snapped. but whatever. using a cnc router seems better in everyway.

i would reccomend on3p look into that.
 
The core is 100% intact.
The break was entirely in the composite layer and topsheet.

As for the CNC router vs planer/sander for profiling, tons of companies use planers or sanders vs cnc routers because profiling on most cnc routers is incredibly slow. Unless you have a huge cnc router that can do 3-4 different cores at a time, meaning multiple heads and costing $100,000+, the planer or wide belt sanding method is way more efficient. We can plane 4 pairs of cores in the time it would take a CNC router to do 1 pair.
Works great for prototyping, but terrible for production.
