I imagine they'll be fine. I don't think they have much of a history of falling apart. ( never owned a pair though, maybe i shouldnt be talking)

I own a pair of 06 TMs which don't have reinforced edges but they changed that with 07 so I imagine that the 08s are pretty durable

trouble-makers kind of break easy, fun ski but if u actually throw down u'll be lucky to have them last a month, just my experience with them.

well, by no means would i say i am really good.
i can throw 5s pretty good id say.
but i do hit up the rails a good amount and i was more worried about that than anything....

my 07's lasted all season. no problems at all, i loved them. bthe 08's as i recall are very similar to the 07's. except i believe they are going to be a true twin and suggested to ride true center. and when you look at the bases of next years TM's you still see the gaudy reinforceing plate. so thats stayin the same. so they should be the same basic ski. i'd go with this years because i can't really see anyone skiing next years cuz they are so ugly

I had the original 05's and if it wasn't for a big spikey rock they would've lasted two seasons, which is pretty good. They're much more durable than Lines, Libertys and Salomons.
