so bassically, i bought these skis at the end of last season, used them for about 3 days before the edges started cracking, used them for a bit in the summer and thats when the cap seperated from the edge and little bits of foam were falling out everywhere. and then about 2 weeks ago..well..i finally was completely unable to ski them when i peeled the edge back over itself. anyways im posting these for the benifit of those who didn't believe me when i commented on the condition of them in another thread.

p.s. im still skiing the other two wich are almost as bad.

Atomic makes some decent shit so don't diss them. You probobly got a defect and instead of sending them back you continued to severly abuse them.

next seasons atomics should be better. hey are actually letting the team test them instead of making whats basically a race ski with a twin tip.

if you treat any ski like shit that is going to happen... you clearly were beating the shit out of them so i dont want to hear you bitching like you barely used them. and you also make me sick for treating your skis like that

Wait the whole point of the three ski package was to allow the skier to warrenty one ski and still have a pair. That is how the whole thing was marketed. Are you telling us that you called Atomic for an R.A. number and they said you had to ship them all three skis? Or did some retard at a shop tell you this?

How the hell did you manage that one? You either suck really bad at rails or you must be doing crazy disasters or 50 kink rails. No but seriously, how did you do it? I can't even imagine how that feat was accomplished.

I've skied straight skis from the late 1990's for two years and hit rails, boxes, and rocks and they still never ended up like that. It makes no sense how those are completely demolished in two weeks because they are "bad skis". You must be the most hardcore/heaviest/tallest/strongest/gnarcore skier to do that to a ski in two weeks.

you still didn't answer the question bro. Did atomic or did they not tell you you couldn't warrenty just one ski? If they didn't then it's your fault for not going through the warrenty process.

i knew they weren't very good skis i knew, but no one believed me. Finally there is proof, or this person is terrible with their skis.

well, atomic knows how to make a an actual ski (not twintip) probably better than any other company, so i dont think their ski would fall apart that easily, maybe it wouldnt perform that well, but i am surprised that it got so fucked up

i think they are supposed to be urban specific skis, so atomic thought an extra edge would help to on urban, but i guess not

im pretty sure you had to do that on purpose. Theres no way anyone can ski any pair of twins into that bad of condition. You had to fuck with it somehow, Atomic makes solid twins and regular skis.

you must be doin something crazy wiht them bro. ive had my trips since last april and ski almost every day. 90% park. and i have no problems with them. i havent even busted out the other ski. atomic is an amazing company. its funny to see all these kids riding all their dynastars adn all this shit when there have been a billion more threads on the TMs breaking. if thats not bias i dont know what is.

could you explain how the edge bent like that, it seems highly improbable that an edge embedded in the ski could pop up and bend over on its self, im calling bs on this one and saying you had to have fucked with them somehow for the edge to bend like that

if he sucks he's not sliding rails flat or right and probably hooking up all over the place. thats why his stupid skis are falling apart. like, i used to go through a pair really quickly, now that i can slide almost all rails flat and get on them fine and adjust, they dont wear out.
