For a long time I was waiting to get the 07/08 anthems. But just before I was going to buy them I realized if I did that I'd be sacrificing alot of all-mountain accessibility, and that I wanted to do alot more than just the park all the time. So I got the chronics, and I wanna know, is buttering completely impossible on the chronics??? Cause I wanna do some flatland stuff.

yeah, kinda.  chronics arnt really meant for buttering, they just have a shitload of pop.  if you can sacrifice doing butters and just getting about 500 ft of air off little rollers instead, your golden.  whenever i try to butter on my chronics my legs either feel like they are gunna die or i get snapped back to the ground.  its fine tho, they are sick skis

they're kinda stiff, but not overkill...and how big are you? if you're big/strong enough i'm sure you'll be fine.

like wise. they have carbon in them so once you flex them they will unload the weight like a springg. awsome jumping skis they land really solid too. but butttering will probably wear your legs out like heck but if you have the weight i think it can be done.
