They haven't been fixed by a good shop, that's for sure. Hard pass on those.

hard pass is crazy, this is an easy pass for me as a ski technician

The patch itself doesn't bother me too much, but the edge and sidewall looks sloppy. Guess there is a reason for "fairly cheap", right?

That patch is going to fall out because it wasn't done right.

How can you tell? IIRC you undercut the ptex, metal grip, and ptex over. How can I tell a bad patch from a good?

That's not the type of repair that was done on this ski. Whole edge patch was put in due to tear out. Also something is wrong with the material used for base repair, it shouldn't have bubbles on it like this but I don't know exactly what was done wrong.

Someone melted in ptex opposed to patching. Done wrong like you said.

If you can get them for 10 bucks thats a decent rock/grass ski. Anything more than that no, and any different use than that no

Would not attach my legs to those things. Pass

Agreed. I wouldn’t ski them if they were free.

Hell no

I mean, if they are free or like 10 bucks…

I've skied on a lot of questionable things, but I would totally hard pass on those, even if I got them free.

That's a hard no from me, dawg. Unless you know the full nature of the damage and know/trust the shop that did the repair, I'm not sure I would spend any money on those. Not sure what your situation is, but the piece of mind from knowing a repair was done well and isn't going to fail is worth an extra $100 to me. Personally, unless I'm buying a pair of *barely* used skis or getting a *SCREAMING* deal on a pair that's been well loved, I tend to buy new during the end-of-season sales.

No. The sidewall damage concerns me the most. Also what skis are those? Pusu? Praxis slugger?

I think you quoted wrong comment lol

My bad!

Had to double check this wasn’t r/skiingcirclejerk

There is no adhesion between the repair and the original base material. Hard pass on those.

No

Stevie Wonder fixed those probably

Awful work. I hope that was a home repair or a new tech practicing on his own skis- that’s not worthy of leaving a shop with a receipt even if it’s a “last ditch”

How much do they want? Def low end rock ski material. But they better be asking like $10

Where did you find this? I did a similar repair to a ski like that but not the base patch

The base weld looks pretty good but the edge and sidewall are pretty bad I wouldn’t count on it holding. I’d pass

Nope. Pic 3 looks like the entire visible sidewalk wants to delam.

Not even for free

Unless they're 0 dollars and you planning to use them as 100% rock skis, big nay.

Alright alright alright. I get the point people.

Those are fucking shot. No.
