Will the spring thing in the ski eventually break? or not work as good?

i have a pair with Look's on them, and their really a mixed bag
too far center mounted for my taste, obviously not CENTER MOUNTED, but still pretty far forward, so u really have to lean back if your freeriding, you definately cant sit forward on these skis, or you lose a bit of control
the springblade, which gives you extra pop, works very nicely, its an effortless pop, which is great for park and pipe, only thing i dislike is on any trail, the smallest bump gives you air, so if your not paying attention, all the sudden your airbourne, which sortve sucks if its around a turn
other then that its a solid ski
haha i bet most people want them because every dynastar rider skis them now, and they change color (haha which is pretty sick in its own right)

what im saying is that if you mount them on DEAD CENTER MARK as recomended by dynastar, they suffer as a big-mtn and all mtn ski, if u mount them dead center, their much more park oriented

the ski has a spring action located about 5 inches on each side of the binding. it stiffens the middle up and makes the tails really flexible. they are great for manuals and pop like a mother.

haha ok, first of all h30 films doesn't so much know what he/she is talking about. Getting air off the slightest bumps and leaning back to turn? haha sorry man, thats just the way YOU ski not the ski itself.
Mount the skis where you would mount any ski, I along with the rest of our team all have them center mounted to varying degrees.
I know for a fact that these are the most precise turning twin tips out there right now and not to mention the sickest pop, I dont know what else you could ask for. Not a SINGLE pair has been broken by ANYONE yet and I weigh 200 lbs...there have been a couple pairs of broken edges but that was mickael and he's a butter freak. plus, not a single ski on the market can say that their edges dont break on rails...if they could it would be in the warranty. I dunno how anyone could possibly purchase anyother ski when not a single pair to my knowledge has been broken, they have the most pop out of any ski and they are the best al mountain carver as well???? simple logistics.

I have been on them for the last few months as well and they are super sick. I have mine mounted on the mount line, which is about 5cm back from center, so not completely 50-50. They are super sick in the pipe, and they are light as hell. The wide platform under foot makes landings super stable. I feel like I'm in a better position when I land because the ski feels so stable. They are a little wide for really tight bumps, but they work. Powder they are sick in. I only weigh 160lbs so the ski is just wide enough for me to stay afloat in powder.
I think the best thing about them is riding switch. They are the easiest ski to control, even at high speeds switch. They are also sick at taking off switch and landing switch.
I like them way more than the scratch, and i think they are better than the Armada skis. I rode the Armada at the US Open, and they are sick, but I like the TM better.

the TM are solid......
They are forgiving, easy to ride and super stable for a ski that light. I felt as confortable with those then i am with my mad trix, and believe me, the mad trix are dope...

I would say that these and the Public's are the best skis out right now. If you want to know why they have so much Pop in them, go find a pair at a store or whatever and run your fingers from about the middle of the ski to the tail. You will feel the top sheet sort of drop down in sections to another level. Go feel it, and you will know what I am saying, that is why these are one of the best skis out to ride park and pipe with, plus they are an awesome ski to cruise around on.
And to the dude who said you have to learn back to ski them, youre an idiot. Learn to ski then come back and tell us how well something skis.

hey reedy,
i do know what im talking about, u cant lean over these skis and expect to carve them at all, there is just too much tail, and it ends up coming off the snow. Sitting a little further back in your stance allows the tail to act more naturally. Dont think im just pulling this out've my ass, everyone that the shop has ridden these and agrees that for all-mtn riding, the center mark indicator that Dynastar gives is just too far forward.
The springblade pops me everytime i hit a small terrain feature in a trail. If im engaging the ski in a turn and hit a small bump, the ski lifts off the snow.
Still a sick ski and i love my pair. All i posted about was that this is a more park-oriented ski then all mtn. The kid asked about them, I gave my opinion. Im sure you have a different opinion, but that doesnt mean I dont know what im talking about.
id rather ride another ski if im gonna ski the entire mtn, but if im just in the park, ill use my Tm's

meh dont need to tell anyone about them anymore, everyone knows they rule. Now you should all go to your nearest Dynastar dealer and take a pair out for a test drive, then you'll know for sure.
