nick malozzi Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) So i just got back from Blue Mountain a little bit ago, and it was a great day. I did a bunch of runs with Doug, Atomic Jeff, and Jeffs buddy. Normally i spend more time in the park, but i figured since i ran into them i would do some runs with em. So it was a rather warm day and a lot of snow was sitting on top of my board all day. By the time i got home the snow had melted off my board while it sat in the back of my truck, and i grabbed it to put in my parents thule box since we are heading north after xmas day. So i noticed that right in front of my front binding my top sheet craked at some point today. Probably failed to see this on the mtn due to all the snow on top of my board. I flexed it a bunch of times and it seems as though it isn't having an effect on the board itself, but i am sure with that cracked it leaves the core some what exposed to water damage. So i am going to ride it for one more day while i am up north (since i don't really have any other option, unless i want to ride my beat to shit 03' millenium three cap), but as soon as i get home it is going back to nestors and i am raising hell. Anybody have any experience with this? I thought i remember skitzo talking about some sort of damage to his dom, but maybe i am wrong? Let me know BTW: for those of you not totally familiar with the Burton Dominant, it is a board designed mainly for park. So in my mind that implies that it should be pretty damn durable to flexing and things of that nature. Also, today was only my 7th day on it. So i don't see how this could have happened while simply carving some trails up. Unless something is wrong with it. Edited December 24, 2005 by Jibophonic Quote
adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 i believe i was talking an edge crack on my x, but i also had some top sheet core shots in my white shaun too. try patch it with epoxy, and if its really delaminating and within a year, warranty that. cost me $17 for two day shipping with ups.

nick malozzi Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Posted December 24, 2005 im not really sure how the apoxy will help considering it is cracking under the leather portion. all i know is it is going to nestors ASAP and i will have them pay for it to go back to Burton. It is actually under a year i think at this point. Quote
adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 burton warranty is really money, and your pimp status will be restored very soon. isnt the 05 snake? Quote
nick malozzi Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) just called nestors to see when i actually baught the thing. computer is showing i bought it as of the 29th, i cant get in there til the 30th. fuck me. as of now i don't really care about my pimp status or snake skin. i just want a board to ride that isn't my beat to shit m3 which is falling apart... literally.

adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 you should really try to get it there as soon as possible, but i think big 13 will let you slide. Quote
LineSki Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) my friend just completely snapped his 04-05 dom landing, it was real early in the season too. ended up getting two new boards out of it from burton. Edited December 24, 2005 by LineSki Quote
Schif Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) How did he get 2 boards? Did they mess up bad or something? Edited December 24, 2005 by Schifdawg Quote
adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 both the store and burton gave him replacements. Quote
adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 i hope burton also sent the shop a replacement too so they werent ripped. Quote
LineSki Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 well he broke about this time last year. then they called him in like october of this year and seemed clueless and were like come pick your new board up. Quote
nick malozzi Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Posted December 24, 2005 i cant get in there any sooner due to xmas travels they told me to call buton directly on tuesday. if i can ill swindle 2 as well. Quote
adrian Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 i suggest shippinng it yourself. if you decide to go with the shop and miss the mark, theres no need to swindle. they wont be lame like that. Quote
Luke Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 That's what you get for buying a Burton board J/K Quote

nick malozzi Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Posted December 28, 2005 yea everything but the lame pink on the bottom. i hate pink. but if its free its for me. Quote
adrian Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 if you get it and it bothers you enough, you can ask your shop for a trade. Quote
nick malozzi Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Got home early from visiting the family up north tonight. So i dug out my receipts and headed to nestors. Two different people looked at it and told me there was no way that i could have caused that type of damage. they told me that odds are the top lam wasn't sealed properly and water got into the board and softened the core, causeing it to become weak and crack the top lam. they said they would ship it to burton in the AM and that burton has a 48hr policy, and that anything that they have come in with problems will be taken care of in 48hrs. So i should hear back from Nestors some time around wednesday-thursday. i spent about 2 min looking at gloves after filling out the proper paper work, and the chick behind the counter was already boxing my dominant up to be shipped. so nesotors scored a few points with me tonight, they were very speedy and helpful. i wasn't in there more then 15min. now its up to burton, but i have faith in them since i've dealt with them before.
