snorovr Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) BEST THREAD EVER!!!!! Â Â Is that picture a Picasso??? Â Â Seriously though, coverage was a little thin at Boulder on Sunday when you were up. Did you feel your ski snag on anything? I can't tell what the hell that picture is of, but it sounds like you got a core shot if its in the base of the ski, or you just took a nice chunk out of the topsheet or sidewall with your edge if it is the top of the ski. Probably not anything to worry about, but try to stand a little further back from the point you are focusing on, hold the shutter button halfway down on your camera so as to focus the shot, and maybe we can get to the bottom of this... Â Update: Upon closer inspection, it does look like you just caught a rock or branch and gave your ski a "coreshot." Usually you want to have this repaired by a shop because you do not want water to get into the core of your ski. Using something called "ptex", they will fill in the gouge in your ski and you'll be good to go. You don't want to ski on these skis and then leave them outside in freezing temps though.

Glenn Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 This thread is worthless without pics. Those country flags you posted just aren't going to cut it. Quote
Mike Piccoletti Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) lmao noh! Its my skis! lmfao  Haha! Country Flags! lmfao!!!!  Seriously! I see skis! Edited November 20, 2007 by Mike Piccoletti Quote
Ski4Food Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Nothing a little P-Tex can't fix... I think... The pictures are so bad I can't tell what I'm looking at, but P-tex fixes everything! I think P-tex could cure cancer if applied right! Quote
Mike Piccoletti Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 Haha, Well Wouldent it be apoxi? And NOH! It really shouldent happen THAT EARLY! FIRST DAY SKIING! Quote
Dan- Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 If it's topsheet then apoxy is fine. If it's your base, apoxy is way off. would need p-tex. But i have no idea what im looking at in those pictures. Re-take and repost haha. Quote
Mike Piccoletti Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 Mind you, I never touched a jump, a rail, or anything, i'm scared to know whats going to happen when I DO?! (i was good with them too! these gouges are down to the next layer (after paint)) Â The Shiny thing is my edges, the white toward the bottom is where its peeling Ok! Heres some narration! The ski is upside down... And That black thing, is the binding... That WHITE part, Next to the black, Is where its peeling off... I seriously cant take a better picture, the cameras are retarted... Sorry for such shitty pictures, Idk why their coming out like that, but I think you get the point... white=BAD! Â Theirs like, Little Scrapes, and theyre starting to peel!!!!!!! (THICK AND DEEP!) Â Theres the re-post, hopefully someone will see this... lmfao Quote
snorovr Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah its definitely in the base of your ski because the Invaders have the hot pink base. Just take it to your local shop and have it done right. They'll also be able to tell you if its anything more than just a coreshot. Quote
Mike Piccoletti Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 I'm hoping I can just take them back and get new ones... lmfao cause i'm having a feeling this is going to happen again!!! Quote
librider Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 theres something called a macro setting.. use it. Â And if its de-lam. I dont even ski and I know line's are notorious for that. Send them back in and get em warrentied. Quote

Go figure, i'm a long shot kinda kid aint I? Quote
Glenn Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Look, we aren't repair shop guys. Some of us know a thing or two about fixing our own gear. We'd like to help, if you can give us some useful info. Working from pictures is the only way to go, but if you can't provide good pictures we can't help. Reposting the same bad picture doesn't help, even if there is a narration. We can't see if there is a crack, an edge separating, a core shot, delam, etc etc etc. Â A shop can tell you what the real problem is AND fix it for you. Take it to the shop you bought it from. If it's a manufacturing defect, they will fix it. Quote
Ski4Food Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Haha, Well Wouldent it be apoxi? And NOH! It really shouldent happen THAT EARLY! FIRST DAY SKIING! Â Depends where you're skiing! I have a few pretty good shots out of my Walls from venturing a little to far into the trees at Okemo, but working in a shop gives me one of the perks of free tuning. Â Yeah don't ever epoxy the base of the ski that's just bad news. You might need a base weld, but its nothing a seasoned shop guy can't fix! Â Be happy you have those extra thick edges from Line it could have been worse! Quote
Glenn Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah, Thanks allot ass, The damn thing one re-edit... lol  Yeah, way to go, a mod tries to help you out and you call him an ass. Quote
librider Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah, way to go, a mod tries to help you out and you call him an ass. Â For-real. I wasnt trying to be a smart ass i was helping you. Quote
Mike Piccoletti Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 Allright thanks. I'll try and take more pics now, doubt its going to work... Quote
toast21602 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 wow that sucks. watch out for rocks. Quote
Mike Piccoletti Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 For-real. I wasnt trying to be a smart ass i was helping you. Sorry bro, i''m a lil stresed out right now... lol I'm like flipin, cause this definatly should not happen on your FIRST day out... Quote
toast21602 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 if you are skiing at boulder on your first day out it is likely going to happen, which can be seen with the evidence in your flag pictures. coverage was not good up there. i wouldnt have taken out new skis if i had them. mine are staying in my house until we actually get some real snow.

Mike Piccoletti Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Posted November 20, 2007 Well when i'm a budget skier, and only own one pair...Its deeper than it looks, the paint is coming up from underneeth. and is just.. ew... Quote
toast21602 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 why am i not seeing anything Quote
Dan- Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 Thats starting to de-lam. Should be able to get them warrantied. Quote
