The wheels on the hype train, that were powered by big name pros and dope team edits, are slowly locking up as the people of NS realize that Factions are garbage.

Id say if you are skiing "heavy rails" then you gotta expect your skis to get fucked up pretty quick. I agree it sucks, and true factions are kinda trash, but in reality every ski you get is gonna get edge cracks, and break. Just part of the game i guess.

Pretty sure Faction took on a bunch of unpaid interns last summer whilst they manufactured this seasons skis. Everyone I know who has them has had durability issues. Someone fucked up somewhere. Maybe they changed the manufacturering process or used some unproven different materials or something.
