i searchbared it and couldent find anything on this issue

so im not sure if its just a defect or if its a common problem but the base and edge on the tail of my left ski is begining to split from the rest of the ski. Im deffinetly going to try and get this warrentied but if this is a common problem  then i will probably get a different pair of skis which would really suck because afterbangs suit my riding style really well

thanks for your help ns and sorry for my terrible spelling

This seems to be a common trend in line park skis. Happened to my invaders, the usual edges ripping out on the tips and tails, bit of delaming, and many more problems. Fun skis but absolute shit durability.

They will warranty them.  I had a manufacture default in mine where they delammed in my basement over night after 2 weeks of riding them.  Line skis always delam, but other than the delam, you can really beat the piss out of them.  I have about two seasons on my 07/08 invaders and ski them so hard.  Cant wait to get my afterbangs back

Yeah I did.
And they weren't willing to do anything about it.
I will never buy a Line ski again.

So the wood is held together by magic?  Laminate = glue stuff together.

For future Afterbang purchasers, it helps if you put rubber cement around the edges, if you get cracks/splits on the top sheets, put more on and you won't have to worry about any water getting into the bases. PS, don't put it all over your whole top sheets inless you really want to, rubber cement turns a yellowey colour.

you can wear the ski on whatever foot you want so that doesnt make any sense IMO.
