I've had a durablue axel for years...and it's not the x33. I jump like crazy and have yet to break or bend it...I'm guessing you landed on the flat?

I have the X-33 and love it.

The warranty only applys to the original purchaser. Don't hate because of their policy. You can find used stock axles on ebay for way under $100 all the time. It'll get you up and running again at least.

Raptorboy4life, I suggest you never get another durablue (im sure your not), get RPM, On Hbombfilms.com, you can talk to the pro riders and they say durablues suck, they also say that RPM has the strongest axles, and you can believe them if you watch any of the Huevos videos they make. Look on ebay for an RPM axle and im sure you can find one for REALLY cheap.
