How does one break skis?

I have some old school line 1260s that are still okay bases are beat to fuck but are okay. And many other skis from park riding, and none of those have ever broke. The only thing i have ever broke is a pair of marker bindings from taking a jump to deep. How do you guys fuck skis up so bad?

cool story. that doesn't guarantee you'll break anything, it just increases the possibility of it happening

crash really hard going really fast. being upside down or off axis helps too. ive come to accept that skis are disposable so i just but the cheapest ones i can find and replace as necessary.

stiffer skis are more likely to snap, so maybe all of yours were soft and just flexed out in a situation where stiffer skis would snap?

Depends what you're doing with them. I'm a huge rail junky and I have never snapped a core to my knowledge (my line anthems were so buttery I wondered sometimes) but I have gotten gnarly edge damage and my top sheets usually look like garbage a few weeks into the season.

I'm willing to bet that people who focus on jumps and drops definitely break more cores just because the impact is so much harder than if you predominantly ride rails and jibs.

Landed really forward on a pair of ninthward mips when I was a kid and snapped them right in front of the nose of the binding.

Not sure, but at a local comp this weekend i saw a kid trying a 10 and he broke both his skis in half along with knocking himself out.

How often do you get new park skis? Most of us break them because we have one pair that we beat to the ground

i speared my old rossi blasters into the front of an open tube rail and snapped the tip up at a 90 degree angle.

OP the answer is simple

you have a tiny penis.

but yeah I've never actually broken skis before, then again I've only had 2 pairs of park skis and until this year never hit alot of rails.
