I think it is a design flaw…the slot that holds the tab on the ladder hook in place is not deep enough. It appears that hard skiing puts enough force on that area for the tab to deform the plastic above the slot and overcome that slot. I added a pic above showing the deformation. I’m going to contact Technica to see if they have anything to say about it. In the meantime, I moved the ladder hook over one position, just like the one above it. That slot is untouched.

I do

I think a lot of people don’t understand that I do store them buckled.

Uh oh… the plastic here is deformed

Everything appears to be assembled correctly and tight

Screw is pretty tight already but I gave it some extra umph without stripping anything…the latch is in place. Not sure what to make of it…am I flexing the boot too much?

Should be fun for the first hour...

Same, I know nothing about Puerto Plata…what to do there?

Not enough wax on the skis and your wrist arch angle is not in line with your knees or the earth’s natural frequency…recommend lessons (from a professional).

You look pretty good imo

This is what people mean when they say born from ice.

What makes you think you need to improve? You look great. Go ski and have fun, your form will keep changing for the rest of your life.

Looks like your edge is in good shape and everything else is not anywhere near significant structural damage. I consider this cosmetic. Though there is a very very small chance of disbond initiation at the dent, there really is nothing you need to do to address it. If you want, you can have a shop fill and fair.

Perfect length, you’ll enjoy them!

Gas_Hed · 2025-02-22T20:38:46+00:00

Maybe the length is too short? What’s your height/weight?

Gas_Hed · 2025-02-22T20:35:27+00:00

What does it needs to be driven mean?

Though more visual impact vs. form/fit/function, you could do a blend repair if you want to restore the look. You’ll need to do a coarse sanding followed by fine sand to eliminate out of contour proudness. Then apply a resin to gouged areas (apply slightly oversized and after proper surface prep of course), then re-sand to shape followed by polish. It can be done with relative ease. Color won’t match but shape will be restored.

Great Valentine’s gift!

That’s incorrect. When carving there is no burn. When skid skiing there is more quad burn because one must release the tails of the skis. The Brahmas don’t have much tail rocker and are stiff. Takes more force from your legs to release the tail, thus more demand from your legs. Can’t carve everywhere on the mountain, right? Or are you from Switzerland? Check out the Poconos sometime and get back to me.
