w_skierso I was looking at my afterbangs today and noticed the individual plys are starting to delaminate underfoot (see pic)

At this point the ski is pretty much doomed, and i'll fill it with epoxy but I don't expect much to result from that. My question is, what caused it and how long do I have? recently I remounted them at home and was wondering if I did something wrong, or is their time up? (it's been about 1 year of riding them since I first bought them new, probably 45 on them days since one tip delammed and I riveted it back together, and they were manufactured in 2011)

When you remounted them did you put any glue in the holes?

Good chance it's just their time after bangs have had durability problems for lots of people that ski more agressivly. If you didn't fill the holes when you remounted the skis that could also contribute

I filled the holes, but now that I think about it I've been doing lots of bounces, nose blocks and tranny finding corrugated tubes recently, so that probably contributed

oh well, they were fun while they lasted.

Honestly they're just a poorly constructed ski. Skateboarding=/= skiing.

Here's an idea, maybe i could put some screws through the layers where they are splitting when I epoxy them to hold them together?

Whatever I end up doing I'll post the results

So OP, I have a similar situation with my 2011 Shoguns where the sidewall and the edge have seperated right underneath my rear binding. That happened a season ago and I still use them as a beater ski. I ski them hard and they still hold up, at some point im sure they are bound to explode on me which scares me but at the same time I say fuck it especially since I don't ride them as much with the recent purchase of the 2013 Blogs.

Simple solutions, use epoxy and fill it in and use a vise grip or clamp of some kind to hold it together, this will really only hold for a few times up to the mounatin, but otherwise i'd just say ride um till they die.

same thing happened to mine.

Probably got some water into the core from either the old holes or from the new ones. What kind of glue did you use to fill them up? The cheap pricepoint of the abangs is also partly to blam.
