i have a pair of 2011 bridges. while skiing to day a clipped a small rock while skiing some trees. didn't think any thing of it then when i looked at my base when i went in for lunch, and i had a core shoot about a inch long. then i started to look at the base closer and noticed that it looked crazy thin. like i could see the core through the hole base. could this be a defect or what. it was only 32 thousands thick.

i dunno about the core shot, but i have bridges from a bunch of years ago and they've got a sort of transluscent base, i've always been able to see the core and the edge through it

oh , but  it seem like the base is not  half as thick as my  kung fujas, and my kung fujas have taken a lot harder hits from rocks with not problem.
