My '06 VCTs came to me with about a 8mm long flake peeled up on the topsheet on one tip. I'm hoping it's not a sign of things to come, with all the talk of the poorly pressed Option skis, but I think I'll nip it in the bud by putting some tip protectors on. Where do I found these? I asked a reputable tech at Bobo's here in Reno but he kinda just shrugged it off. I noticed Corky had some metal caps on his LP's....where do I find those?

Pry them off his skis when he's not looking.

Tip protectors are often tip-specific. I had a bunch of them that I was going to try to fit on Bros, but the curves didn't work. Sorry, I chucked them.
I'd suggest gluing that topsheet, though, for starters.

if they are from the factory, why don't you contact them and ask what the dealio is? A new ski should DEFINITLY not be having issues before you even get a chance to ski them....
Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.
Seize the day, trusting little in the future.
if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch
