they replace the fuji as the new king of cheaper twins...the way it should be

think of it this way from top of the line down (although they each have their own niche)

Viscous/Nancy - PE/Missy - Fuji - Silencer

fck paying 650% for some Armadas, buy yourself two sets of k2s instead...plus their warrantee kicks ass

The long and the short of it is this, it is the old Public Enemy mold. 80mm waist, similar balanced flex as well, but the best part, $299 retail. Great price great ski that you can afford to be hard on. It's disposable...

tnext uyears fujas are a more park specifid, not the silencers. but i think skis will get much more park specific, i think the fujas are too stiff

wow you guys are all clueless..

the fujative is pep fujas' pro model. it is NOT K2's pure park ski.

however, the silencer IS K2s pure park ski. it is the same shape as the origional public enemy, but with a different flex i believe.

the fujative now costs $330 and the silencer will be $300.

god damn, its not that COMPLICATED!!!

Public enemy- an all mountain park ski, does it all well

Silencer- same ski as the ORIGIONAL 2 generations of public enemy, but with a cheaper cap construction vs sidewalls. good for jumps and pipe, as its moderately stiff.

Fujative- a jib specific ski. very soft, not good for big jumps. better suited to rails and jibs.



there, its ALL BROKE DOWN FOR YOU! no more questions!

just to clarify for alot of people the fujis haven't changed. the new graffic already came out mid season and they will be the same ski through next. i like mine, no were near as park "specific" as everyone goes on about.

well it sounds like i may have found my replacement for my original PEs if they ever break.

Click for larger image


I'm so impressed with the original PEs i've learned rails on them so they took a shit tone of hard hits and i ski them whenever cover is low so they hit a bunch of rocks and i'm always just tossing them around and they are still a rock solid ski I love em

If you cant land a big jump with fujative/thalls/any other soft ski, then you are not landing right, end of story.

same with mine i've only had mine for one season i got them the end of lsat year but they took a beating this year and i think ill buy a pair of silencers and keep my enemys as a true rail ski because there so fukin durable.

but i have found the more i use them the more buttery they get but otherwise most solid ski ever
