because they have a foam core...if you ride constantly all season and ride rails/jumps/pipe they will lose flex like madd and be shitty as shit after a while...BUY SKIS WITH WOOD CORES

well, the old fs did have a wood core and that would have to be the one he is talking about, b/c no one could have put 100 average days on the new FS yet to put this myth to test, so your comment really has no merit. also, i have a friend who has skied them for close to that (75) and they still let him fucking rip. easily one of the best skiers ive ever seen on ne terrain, and that includes most pros, so i wouldnt think that the ski would DIE after ~100 days. but obviously 100 days on ne ski is going to take its toll.

they don't have a true foam core like salomon's which suck, they have a mixed materials core, it does get soft if you beat the hell out of it like 150+ days, but so does any ski if you ski it that much. Besides you'll probably break it by then anyways.
