Anyone know hos soft it will be?
Will it be able to butter and tailpress and all that fun shit, or will t be a stiff plank like the MSP's?

IFFFF your on the right size for your body weight, i cant press the prophet 130's very well and im sure id have a hard time with the largest size msp because im not a big dude. The mount also affect your butters.

Haven't flexed the supermodels, but the normal MSPs are by no means stiff.

Actually they aren't that soft considering they're going to be like $299. Better price point twins out there though.

I read next years catalog for 4frnt. Stiffer than the stls for pipe (mainly a pipe ski) closer to the msp flex but in a size for NK. Closer symetrical shape like the stls.


cant wait to try that ski, wish it came longer!!!!!!

I've flexed these skis before and i know they are on the stiffer side. They may not be the best for butters, look into getting the STLs

they ski really nicely.   the STL would be better suited for butters.  the TNK runs between the STL and the MSP for stiffness.
