alright, i skiied mount snow today, too nice.  3 run theres a little knoll, i rodeo 5 it, very sketch, so i decided i wanted to try to frontflip it even tho i was seriously not getting any height at all.  i got halfway around, hit the tails on the ground, and my toepiece fucking snapped off.  the thing is, the screws and the binding plate arnt actually broken, its just the toepiece is snapped.  my question is, do i have to remount the whole binding plate when i get a new part, or can i just take the new part and put it in the old binding plate?  ill get some pics up.

depending on what/how it broke, you may be able to replace the part(s) without remounting at all. that happened to me, party of my heelpiece broke, but i was able to get it fixed without unscrewing the base plate.

you have to do is unscrew the heelpiece and screw the new one in...shouldn't be that hard, there's already holes for the screws...it doesn't have to be 'remounted" just screwed in

for the toepiece of an axial, you will most likely have to take the screws all the way out of the ski to fix it. However, it's really easy to do.

You NEED to have a screwdriver that fits or it will strip your screws. all you have to do is unscrew very carefully, put the new piece on, and then screw the screws into the same holes very carefully... making sure there it little resistance and they are straight up and down when going in... the idea is to get them to re-thread into the same holes. I would also reccomend using some waterproof wood glue in the holes before you re-screw.
