I rode the 186 Big Trouble this year, for everything to start with then for powder and cruising only from January. I'm 6'3, 185lbs and been skiing 16 years. The skis are mounted on the recommended point. In the park, they were a bit stiffer than I prefer for sure, but managable. I cracked an edge in one place (didn't seperate), and the edges dulled quite a lot from not much rail riding. One of them delammed 4-5 inches on the tip the first day I rode big kickers though, and they wouldn't warranty them even though I work in a shop that deals Dynastar, which I'm not impressed with at all. I riveted them though (photos in my profile) and rode them just for powder and they've held up fine. In 12 inches fresh snow the tips dive a little if you don't keep your speed up but otherwise they ride really nicely - the feel pretty stable and solid landing drops, and on the groomed and crud they're awesome as long as you keep pushing them - if you get lazy they're sometimes harder to control because of the stiffer flex. I really like them, let me know if you have any specific questions.
