I've been saving upfor a pair for quite some time now, and I was wonding what some people may think of them. I know they're durable but do the split at the ends often?

2 of my friends bought that model of afterbang. One of them still has his in mint condition and skis them 3 or 4 days a week. The other completely demolished his in a matter of days.

In the end, it's about how you ski it / if the pair of skis you received was made properly. My first pair of afterbangs crapped out really fast (edges cracked and fell out, tips delaminated)

My second pair had no issues at all.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Nice skis, but I agree with the above post, pretty inconsistent durability

You mean the skier is inconsistent.

One pair of after bangs isn't different from another. Maybe one in 500 might have a defect (wild guess). You might run the tip into a rail and it might snap. Next pair you dont run the tip into a rail and it last for 5 years.

LJ goes threw way more pairs of skis a year then I do but he is also going way bigger then me.

Its the person not the product.

I bought a pair last year, and they were great. They also arent as heavy as many people describe them. I go skiing like 4 times a week, i hit jumps and rails and they only have a few small scratches. definately recommend them!

even though he rides for line, this is the truth.

Really fun skis but the extruded base is sometimes quite slow.but other than that they are super durable and poppy.
