You got a great deal then, and a perfect ski for what you ride. I'd ride them and love em.

I thought they held up pretty well outside of park. They're a little stiff and didn't chatter too bad. And the race base makes them really fast. For the most part, they were great in the park for boosting on jumps, pretty responsive. The edges are missing now though, so ussual salomon durability.

cr johnsons = spks. spks = 100% park, cr johnsons = 100% park. perfect for you and your height.

If I understand correctly, the CR is a Lab ski, meaning it was built in the race room by hand with the same attention to detail and quality materials used in Salomons race skis. These should be sick sticks.

Race bases just mean the bases are soft. They aren't excatly like the pipe cleaners which have thinner edges in addition to soft bases. They should hold up ok on rails, far better than pipe cleaners would. The most damage you would do on them would involve hitting rocks.
