alright, here's the deal....

1) i'm too lazy to figure out how to post these pics (help appreciated if you feel like it)

2) this is my ski after opening day at whistler (nov 18th). I'm not sure how much of it you'll be able to see, but there are sidewall stresses, a dent in the base, and topsheet separation from the back of the heelpiece on my binding to mid-sole.

one.

two.

three.

four.

3) they're less than a year old, so i'm taking them into the shop tomorrow to see what they can do for me. this really sucks, but hopefully armada's nice to me. good news is that they've never touched a rail.

not seeing anything. but i beleive you

 

[titsLOL]

I dont get it...

 

[mad_540_trix]

look for the discolourations under the heelpiece on the sidewall

 

[titsLOL]

oh... what's the big deal? are they dents or just discoloration??

 

[mad_540_trix]

discolouration = stresses = sidewall isn't supposed to look like that, so now it'll be weaker.

that's not the really big deal though, the big deal is the base, which i can't get a picture of because i can't get an angle that'll let the dent show up in the picture.

 

[mad_540_trix]

oh, and the whole topsheet separating from the edge for 10-15cms thing, that's a big deal too.

 

[ESfreeridepa]

yeah but a dent could have easily been your fault. just sayin

 

[DeucesStreetwear]

im kinda confused on this one and dont see much of a deal...maybe just me

 

[mad_540_trix]

it's not just you, it's just that it's really hard to get a decent pic of the dent or the topsheet separation..... i'll try again to see if i can get a better pic.
