i have heard that they are a stiffer ski...however i think that they are ment to be the in-between, between the fugative and the PE. i havnt heard very amazing things about them though.

its funny, everyone who likes them has actually skiied them, and it seems like everyone that dosent like them hasnt skiied them.
turpin said its the best park ski he has ever ridden, and he dosent even ski for k2 anymore.
ive skiied them and i agree with turpin for sure.
they are pretty much inbetween the fujative and the pe's, so you get the best of both, you can still butter them, but they are stiffer so they are good on jumps and carving. they have alot of pop, and they are probably the best jump ski i have ever tried.
i think they feel alot like a cross between stl's and ar5's.

yes but that just means they were the best K2 park ski he has ever ridden. K2 just droped him at the start of last season and so I am preety sure he used there skis throughout the year. and he was sponsored by K2 for a while. Did you noticed that he latter switched to some Stl's.
On another note a friend of mine who has skied them did not really like them.

in response to him switching to stl's, it was probably because he is now sponsored by them

he told me at high north after he switched to 4frnt. someone asked him about stls and he said silencers are better. they are defiantly underrated skis for sure.
