I have them and I must say, they are sicker than any K2 ski I've used. They are super stiff and have tons of pop. They have some bombproof edges too.

yeah, fun funnn ski. reinforced burly edges, sweet pop, real solid switch. topsheet is chipping for sure though. I talked with the fischer reps today and they said that the pros and next year's addicts have that problem fixed.

why would you do such a thing? they're meant to be mounted TRUE CENTER! that's where the middle of the sidecut it, why mess with that? they are money at true. why landis? why?

the addict pros too? i think adding the aircarbon carbon is a good idea, cause it increases durability and pop.

addicts are sick, but so are the habbits, theyre a little softer and narrower, more of a park ski, but they both kill it
