the 04-05 were meant to break when buttered.
buy some fujis, they have elastic cores.

really? my friend got some used PE's (same year) and i was flexing them and they seemed mad soft. i would say that buttering shouldnt be that bad. u just gotta know how. its possible on any ski, even the Head mojo

godd, any ski is butterable. hell you can butter a downhill race ski if your good enough at buttering. flex is just sort of a handicap to make buttering easy for all you week light weights out there.

You need to hit the gym son, get your leg muscle on. 04-05 PE's are mad flexy(I own a pair with some broken binders if anyone is interested), I thought there stiff at first too, then I learned how to butter....figure it out....

keep the skis. they stickers help you butter. add more stiffness to it. stiffness is perfect for buttering

if you cant butter then you won't ever break your skis.

believ it or not its way easier moving. still slowly, but just cruising down a greenrun, see a roller, initiate a slight turn into it, and just leaannnn.

My fujis have such a fun flex when it comes to butters. Just bouncy enough to get a nice olly out of em too.

haha that made me laugh i can picture my self doing that even tho its never happend in my house ive done it on purpose, cuz we always act like idiots when we get off the lift and like right after you get off it well start switch and just nose butter so hard like just lean so your face is in the snow pretty much then either your skis pop off or you face plant around every one its lotsa fun try it out

what the fuck are you talking about!?

i have the 04-05 and 05-06 PEs and i can slay some huge butters with em. its all about how you approach the butter and if you know what the fuck you're doing.
