Sooo it's probably my 10th day on my salomon 2012's. Today I look down and realize that the back of my left ski has come un-rockered. I didn't bang it or anything, atleast no that i know of. this wouldn't be too much of a problem except now the tail tip is practically ON the ground which could mess with spins an shit.

anybody have any advice or has this happened to them? i know salomon is practically impossible to get ahold of so i'm not sure what to do. thanks guys

try to do everything you can to get ahold of salomon. these could be warranteed, considering this is a product defect assuming you haven't done anything to void the warranty.

I've heard nothing but good things about 2012's, I'd bring em to your shop and try to get replacements.

If i may ask why do you love salomon so much?

Its my opinion that salomon sucks.

I also thought the 2012 was one of the most unstable skis ive been on. So why anyone would want them surprises me.

i just really like the skis ive owed by them. ( 2012's and czars) and i have had no problems with either of them . the czars still look brand new. and my 2012's are the best skis ive ridden (IMO) and i rode a dece amount of park skis.

i understand you have your own opinion, and ill stop

Take them back to a salomon dealer, preferably the one you got them from. I have seen no problems with the 2012's and mine are actually holding up better then my armada Thalls. Not sure why they would unrocker, normally skis would just rocker more with use. Does sound like its worth having a shop have a look. You have not been storing them with a ski strap or anything around the tip and tail have you?

i saw a guy today at loveland with delaming lords. the tail was delaming. Apparently, none of their skis are impervious to problems. go with the warranty.

good rocker at tips:

bad rocker at tails: (it still looks rockered cause one of the skis is rockered but it's considerably less then the other ski)

and it's not that I care a whole ton about the skiing on them its just that if i had actually paid the whole price and stuff for them (700$) and they came un rockered that's a little lame.
