yeah i noticed they are quite cheaply priced...are they a pure park ski or what? how the hell can they be offered with a retail comparable to the Invader and Fujative?

you shouldnt reall compare it to invaders or fujas as its not a butter ski. its sick in the park but skis well everywhere else. Probably bette to compare to something like and AR5 or last years PE. Still sick for a park ski though as its great in pipe as well as on jumps and rails.

dodgens are quite possibly the softest ski on the market,

softer than the original trouble makers

i've got this years fujas and dont notice the extra stiffness. and its only in the tail. fujas are one of the softest skis around and dogens are around the middle. no way its that soft. my friend has some and i've skied them.

what do you think the softest skis are? the invaders? cause midseason i might want to get a super soft ski just to fuck around and butter and stuff on.

^Really man I did the same thing and the dogens are way stiffer than fuji's. Some people compare them to the siffness of a pe and I agree that they are softer but softer than a fuji. What is your deal? That is absoulutly impossible.

this guys right. the dogen was based on 05 PE,which is much stiffer than fujas.

go for the dogens

volkl= wood core + mad durability + simple yet inovative construction

atomic= foam core + wimpy top sheet + needlessly complicated construction
