My mom's friend has the atomic pro form and she said i can buy something from it. I was thinking of getting some thugs but im not quite sure. I would use them for powder and some other stuff. im 5'9" and like 125 and i would get 181 what do you guys think?

they are super fun to ski
i used them every tiem it snowed in qc and for park when i was skiing with my buddies.
They are definatly easy to turn for such a big ski.

by the way, I,m 5 and 6 and 145 pounds.

Jossi was skiing park with them too so i dont think you'll have too much trouble using them.

They are fat, that's all.
They flex very nice, probably softer than the Made'n actutally.

I know hand flexing doesn't tell too much about the ski, but they felt pretty damn soft to me.

ya man not trying to steal your thread because i think this might help you because now i want to get either thugs or pimps and i was seeing if you guys knew how they compared... softness, playfulness, pop, turning, all that stuff.... thanks
