My buddy has Invaders, the 05/06 ones. Want to know something.....THEY ARE STILL TOGETHER. Two seasons hitting 40 foot tables, urban, pipe, everything you can think of. They are still ticking. They are not the made in canada ones, they are the ones made in china, still together. They are a great ski. I tryed them, and fun as hell for pure park. You know what, go to a ski shop, ask the tech there what he would sugest. I know you don't want to do that, and you think you know exactly what you want. But this site is just full of fucking lemmings that say they know, but don't know shit about what they are talking about.
( Im sorry, if your under 6 feet, and 150 lbs, YOU DON"T ROCK ANYTHING OVER 175cms in length EVER.......it will make you ski WORSE NOT BETTER. Centre mounting a non symetrical ski IS BAD, it fucks with the flex as proper turning radious, camber and other aspects. Tyrolia make an AWSOME binding, the s810 is awsome for most people, i use them and they hold up, nobody on this site excluding pros NEED FKS, or s916 race stock bindings.) Thats my advice.
