they chipped like a motherfucker, mine not that bad but my friends were so badd, and the graphics on the new p.e.s are so much better than last years. i rode p.e.s all year and there pretty nasty everywhere, lil to heavy for my likes in the park tho...

are they really that heavy??

im buying from jibij.com and they dont have that big of an selection yet and i cant preorder, need em fast. thats why im thinking K2 again this year, all models are available now also. need something wider than my old fujatives.

i ride 70% park and 30% pow. 186cm high and about 76kg.

My topsheet's been pretty good. I haven't been totally in the park though so I dunno if that makes a different. Very durable and adaptable ski allround i've found.

Well the topsheet is still ptex, so I doubt the problem has been fixed, which is a bummer cuz that is the one thing I don't like about them.

I haven't ridden them, but I am holding them right now, and its still the soft ptex, so it appears that they didn't do anything to fix it.

i have a pair of 05/06, rode them all season

the top sheet is super soft, like base material. if u just click ure skis together they can chip. expect to see a lot of the fiber glass under the chippage.

yes i saw them when the rep came to my work(ski shop), appartenly they are keeping the ptex but changed it so theres less chipping, they look real dope but i was way more impressed with the dynastars, they have reinforced edges, uped the stiffness ever so slightly and they look real sick.

did they up the stiffness of the public enemy or the dynastars? Is the new public enemy lighter or heavier than last years?
