Yeah, I press on my all the time.. I always catch edges when I butter, but I suppose that's just me.

theyre not pure park skis, it pretty hard to butter when you compare to fujatives or even 1260s, if you seriously want to butter dont buy these skis.

its not necessarily bad but having center-mounts makes rails infinitely easier and skiing switch is a hell of a lot easier too

yes. your weight is off-center. =bad for rails, and messes up your swing weight when spinning.
