are the skis going to be getting any softer? because recenlty i have really been affected by the stiffness of the coppers on certen features. I think it would be cool to have a flex pattern like the tanners next year.

That is a pretty good idea. I can do everything on my choppers except butter. They're sick on bib hits, but buttering around is a chore.

I havent been having trouble with urban or popping, but yeah the skis are super stiff so buttering is pretty non existant, but remember back to last year when the skis were snapping... thats not happening this year because of the strengthening of the cores. Just trying to find a balance between soft and solid so that the skis are butterable while still strong.
