they are prolly a little bit heavier than the 1260s you ride but the salomon bingindgs ar a little lighter. they have a nice flex on the tip and tail so you can do butters pretty easy.

ive owned them since 03, im a little heavyer tho, edges were gone after a season, same with the pop, and i broke my bindings 2 times, other than that, they suck, spend 200 bucks less on some PE or Fugitives

in my opinion, they are the best skiing twin tip on the market right now. i havent skiied the foils, but the thrusters (same as the old 1080s) ski really well all over the mtn, not just in the park. they are pretty soft, so as long as you arent really heavy they should be alright. if you are really into rails though, i would probably go for the PE, since they ski almost as well, but hold up a little better on rails than the 1080s do.
