What model durablue were you using?

Mine is not junk...and I beat it to death. (eliminator)

It should have came with some kind of warranty.

Get an Axcalibur axle,they are the best.I have been using them since 91.Dura blues have always been weak.I have been told by plenty of racers that they are cheap/easy to bend.

It could be weak....But I have yet to bend one....

as long as you want to want to try to be rude...Maybe you should learn how to land strait...It would not bend then

I ride district 3 NY....I am not the best rider out there...But I like to play.

I Just wanted to show 2 sides to the story....You have already came up with the "educated guess" that the axel is right away weak. How about telling us how it happened? where you jumping a bit high? landing a bit sideways? On one tire?

Every piece of equipment has a breakpoint....maybe your just past that level ?

For the Price...your right...I would not expect them to break/bend. It can be frustrating. I value "your" review of the product.
It's just hard for someone like me who has not had a problem yet, sit and listen to someone else totally rag on the product.
When I do finally bend mine...I'm sure my attitude will be close to yours. I've been using mine for a few summers now, without a bend yet.
That's my only reason for my argumentative comments. I wish you better luck with a different brand...
