ok, i know there are 100 different invader threads, but this will hopefully end all the random threads that just get annoying after awhile. let's hear from those people who actually own the invader and have had a chance to ski on them this season. Reviews only! Save the random comments for another thread...

today was my first day on them and they are by far the funnest ski i've ever been on. They butter so much better then fujatives and are alot more stable. They have lots of pop. Also, they aren't as bad as i thought they would be in the "powder". Very stable on rails. The only complaint i have is I did a mute 3 and in the process made a huge gouge in the sidewall that is down to the core and about 2.5 inches long and it's still peeling. Over all i say it's a dope ski and hopefully they don't fall apart on me more then they already are.

ok, today was my first day riding them at a shitty hill that was just like 3 runs, no jumps or nethin. I LOVE THEM!!!! holy shit. tehy are the best skis i have ever ridden all mountain. better than my concepts, they are so fast, great when turning, so amazing while goin switch, and it was so crazy kus i could buttter so high up. these are the best skis i have ever ridden since i was born. great skis. barely ne scratchs otehr than i hit a rock, so theres a little bit of a scratch on the bases. but other than that. totaly sick ski.

they are great skis. best park ski i have ridden (which is a good amount of skis), and people who say they suck dont know what they are talking about. their preformance is limited once you take them out of the park, but they manage. i also have not experienced any de-lam (yet) which people say happens in their first run. over all a sick ski.

well i was doin rails today. and well i realized they have a little bit of problems with durability. after fallin once on a rail, they have a huge gash and u can see some of the wood and the top sheet is pealing up a bit like a cm or so. but ill just epoxy it. and there are small bubbles where there was a scratch that let air in that is between the topsheet and the outer layer.

hmm, I fell a few times on the box cause my edge got caught in the rivets (damn coping) but yea, not even a scratch...maybe I'm lucky. Shit happens though.

a kid i ski with who totally sucks and barely does rails has had them for 2 weeks and they are already chipping everywhere! i was really hyped on them at first but dont think ill get them anymore. too many bad things happening. sounds like theyre falling apart on a lot of people, ive heard the same thing over and over again.

man i haven't even skied mine yet and i love them over any other ski. i really hope nothing happens to mine, and if they do i'm going to return them. you guys should do the same, but i'd agree that the topsheet of the ski could be a little more durable. it just seems thin.
