    So my I managed to bend my race stock...

    So after about 5 days on some race stock rossi 9x's, I've managed to bend the tip on one of the skis. So basically I can't pressure the tip as well, explaining why sometimes I was having difficulty starting turns on one leg it seemed. I had them stone ground and I set them up and while it is possible I could have overlooked it, I doubt it.

    They are from the first year rossi went to gold and black, but I bought them straight up new this year for $150 from the shop. They are a rossignol dealer and they did sell them to me new. I put some rossi 140's on them, so would they still be under warrenty? New rossi skis with rossi bindings is a two year warrenty right?

    BTW, by race stock I mean FIS legal, flat tops, definitely beefy (for a rossi), and a race plate that doesn't look like it melted halfway into the ski. However it's not the same stick those world cup monsters rip on.

    Think I'll be able to get some new sticks?

    I think you have 3 more ends to bend until you have spatula's.

    I believe by putting a rossi binding on a rossi ski it increases the warrenty to years

    A single spat is wider then these skis put together. These skis have a floatatious waist of like 65 if I recall.

    vtdownhiller, but even though these skis are a few years old model, do I still get the warrenty?

    Why? Is it only months without Rossi bindings?

    Well actually dirty,
    They probably have tips and tails around 100, so if you were to double that you'd see that they together are indeed wider then a single spatula as you previously stated.

    They probably won't replace them, but take them to a shop and see what they will do. You'll get farther through a dealer than trying to handle it yourself. If they won't replace them, they may have a single out of a warrantied pair of that vintage that they would sell you for a hundred bucks or something.
    If all else fails, bend those bitches back. Don't heat them up, just room temperature. I've done it in the past by levering them in between a couple of stairs on an open stairway. With some work, you can get them to the point where you can barely notice.

    ...... Rossi's have metal in them????
