Yup, I might get them. Trying to see if this mange traction would work for skis and how well they will work.

no the side walls have waves, your edges stay unsharp for rails and in the pipe you still hold an edge cause the sidewall....but buy surface skis

Not just whole bunch of waves, but 7 waves. Which creates the 7 contact spots. Anyone ride them???

they sound like thay have intense technology, i bet they will hold up , cuz libtech is known for durable shit, but i heard you have to buy them individualy, and thats kinda gay.

Theres noway, its its 588 for the pair. I'm selling elizabeth because I just wanna try other new skis. And they have no demo skis like elizabeths and lib tech skis or other high end freestyle skis so i buy and feel like trying another skis.

On the skis I made the edges werent always perfectly flush to the base, leading to the same sort of wave. ahhh well i guess sloppy work turned out for the better afterall:

yo, i rode the Lib-tecs in AK a week ago. pretty weird. i liked them a lot though, nice and fat, a bit shorter, but they ride pretty well. the whole wavey edge thing is pretty trippy, and people look at them all weird and shit. anyway, i didnt get a full day on them, but from what i can tell, they are pretty bomber for a ski from a snowboard company.

I saw the lib tech skis today at Mt baker coming out of the backcountry. they look sick as hell and the guy riding them said hes having a blast on them. the looked to have a pretty aggresive side cut and were 188 cm long with the magne traction edges.

I can't wait to try a pair of these.

apparently they are going into full production this week or next week

If this wavy edge works so well I think ski specific companies should try and get a hold of it and start production with them. Those skis sound crazy I would love to have a go on a pair of them
