These badboys are pretty beat. They were new at the beginning of this season and due to injuries I got half as many days as I would have liked to. The bases are pretty thrased and despite my best efforts to alternate sides one ski has way more damage than the other. That being said they were the first park skis I've ever owned to last an entire season of everyday use.

No actually, although the one picture makes it look like it. They're actually 181cm Scratch FS's. They're mounted about 2cm ahead of center so they have more tail than tip, and that picture looks a little bit warped.
 
damn if i was at home i could post a pick of my MIPs. they are so trashed its redic. they've both been snapped in half at the nose area and are missing a shitload of edge and topsheet and base
 
Why? Replacing those skis is like buying a new car because your old one has 100,000 miles on it. The damage is mostly surface, which doesn't affect performance or the life of the ski whatsoever. The cracked edge is up near the nose where it probably isn't going to get hit again. My Public Enemies have surface damage almost as bad as that except way more of it and the edges are cracked in like four places on each ski and all of them are right in the middle of the ski where they're likely to get hit again.. those are my backcountry skis this year.. I don't have money for new gear, if it doesn't look spiffy enough to sell run that shit into the ground, that's the way.
 
I thought this was a thread about showing pics of your demolished skis, not arguing over a certain posted pair. weak!
 
well twenty centmetres of edge fell out on one of my skis and on the other about ten centimetres
 
I absolutely hate scratching my skis, I go around things just so they don't get ruined, I even use my friends skis when I do urban just so I don't mess the bases.. Basically I could put them up on NS and say they're new and everyone would believe me, really they have 30+ days and I have the Scratch 120 bindings (white, impossible to not scratch, but i did it!)

/end claim
 
A couple years a ago i snapped a pair of junkers in half on a 80 footer. And this year i got a pair of new blends and on the second day up i dropped like 15ft onto a rock and like dented the shit out of the base.
 
i might post a picture i might not but here is a list for now...

05/06 invaders

1 season

multiple edge cracks

edge ripping out of 1 nose and 1 tail

top sheet chipping down into the core all over the ski

delam on every tip

bases are the only bit of this ski that have held together, after dropped cliffs onto rocks, riding over dirt and rock patches late season for fun, rock rides, and rails all the time and all i have is a few deep scratches
 
my rail pair of JOs- delamed underfoot, core cracked where it delamed, then i took em rampin and broke em 2nd hit

my pipe/jump Jos- some rail damage, my bro was carryin them and dropped em in a parking lot so minor base damage
 
on my trouble makers theres about 5 inhes of edge torn out on 1 side, at the top of that ski the edge is sticking out. couple core shots dented edges.

on my phil larose pro's - only chipping
 
well, i dont do rails, or hit rocks.

so my karmas only have some top sheet scratches, well i delammed then , but then that was fixed
 
i had 05 dynastar troubled youths. i used them only for jibbing

delammed topsheet(almost completely)

Broken edges(none on tip or tail)

cracked tip and tail

and i sold these to my friend fro 50$

haha
 
i got em like 3 years ago man, they were plenty stiff then, and really, theyre still stiff enough to do anything on
 
My scratches after one year have 2 near coreshots, one from a day in the park (no idea what i did) and another from backyard jib
