Soft skis

i've been on line darksides (blue w/ moonscape graphic) but they're old and beat. anyone know how the flex pattern compares to stl's, fujitives, or know of any others you'd consider similar. my shop kinda blows and i'm limited to what i can feel/demo. i don't give a shit if you think any company sucks or is the best, just curious if anyone has experience comparing soft flexing skis.

the new scratch fs, is going to be pretty stiff, but if you are big or relativly good you will be fine. Last years were pretty soft, but they still had a lot of support

nine milla... maybe you suck. soft skis are pretty damn fun. there's a time and place for many types of ski, and it's whatever i feel on any given day. anyone actually skied a variety of noodlie jibber skis and have some legit input? and jetman, i really dig the darksides. they've been soft enough to goof off on, but solid enough to ski everywhere. hell, i'd bet mine will beat nine milla top to bottom and to the bar in any conditions the mountain throws at me.
