speak to the shop that mounted them and ask if they have any marker brakes kicking about that they can give you. marker brakes are marker brakes so no matter if you had bought jester pros you would have had the same likelyhood of getting a bad brake. if its a break in the plastic pad which looks to be a material defect then its likely you will get at least new brakes on warranty. bottom line, speak to the shop you got them from/mounted them.

OMG! i can't believe you asked this... it totally ruined my xgames gold winning run (jk this isnt aimed at OP just a generalisation as to the level kids get worked up about broken brakes, clips, zippers, goggles, etc)
i agree. if its a <$25 part i would just say suck it up and get on with you're expensive white middle class sport, unless you know the shop you bought the original part from would be chill about it.

Understandably. When you buy something like bindings, you dont expect the brake pad to break in 5 days, but my point which i didnt really make clear was, did you really need a thread on the fact you brake broke? All this situation needed was an email to the shop you got them from saying "hey, my new marker brakes broke after 5 days riding, is there anything you can do for me?" And i the answer is no, then you take it on the chin an buy new ones.
