I tried out some msps and they are definately worth it I'd say.

even though their physical size (width, not length) is somewhat similar, the skis are completely different... the First Bloods are soft flexing and pretty damn buttery, while the MSPs have a substantially stiffer flex pattern - I ski the MSP almost everyday and think it's an incredible ski for all mountain skiing, park included - it won't wash out on big airs too... the base material on the MSP this year is a bit thin, but if you don't grind it too much on a machine, it'll hold up fine... my two cents

i bought msps 2 weeks ago. greatest skis ive ever ridden. they are the best as long as you dont hope the top sheet will stay intact. they chip soo fucking easily. after 12 days of skiinf they look like my 3 year old trouble makers

I love my MSP 187s

Yes, the topsheets chip like bitches but they dont delam. Also it is a pretty stiff and on the heavier side ski but if handles everything really well.. big airs, crud, some pow pow, these things are way solid on everything. Just make sure you have the strenght/weight to run em.

I got the 260 msps, and even though they're a stiff guys skis, I absolutely love them. You ride them hard and fast and let them take care of themself. Super fun, and I got them super cheap, worth every penny though. Yeah they ship super easy on the top, but whatever, the bases hold up super well; at least for me so far.

try to find garentees that you will get skis if you order on net, but i enjoyed the msp's and have seen them in retail.
