i ski on the fujative and it fucking sucks. its only good for fucking around on little shit. if you ski with any power or try and ski properly they blow.

next years chronic is sick. its not heavy (i dont know where you would get that from) and the production one will be softer than previous ones. it will be a stiffer park ski, but if you are using it everywhere and on big jumps you will just find it stable and very responsive. its a little fatter, shapely, and softer then the old chronics, oh and with sandwich.

i have heard the silencers are an amazing ski. way better than the fujative. its def softer than the chronic

i really like my o7 line invaders. get the 178, i weight 75-180 and im 6', they will not be too soft. there really fun for me and just overall a good ski. mount true center and u will be happy. they might not be as stable as u like if u are going tot ake it off any 90 foot jumps or anything huge like that.

^ buying a ski just for its looks is dumb, so dont do that. out of the skis you mentioned: invaders, silencers and chronics... go for the chronics, they kill it everywhere and they are NOT heavy
