I've been reading stuff on both of these skis and was wondering what is different about them pros cons etc. So if any one has experiance or knows anything about either of these it would be greatly apreciated. they would be used only in the park

basically what it boils down to is do you want a ski that is a little stiffer with normal dimensions (tnk) or do you want a super soft ski that is symetrical (anthem)?  i have the anthems and i really like them.  they're super fun for park, really poppy and smooth.  i skied the tnk a fair amount last year and they're a really fun park ski as well.  they're just a lot stiffer and more deliberate feeling.  not quite as quick as the anthem.  like i said man, it's really just do you want a stiff or a soft park ski?

Yeah but both seem to say soft like freeskier says that the tnk buttered its way into hearts and minds and the anthem has the butter flex band thing in the nose

yeah that's just the writers of freeskier trying to sound jazzy with their write up of the ski.  it's substantially stiffer than the anthem.  trust me.

Well, all i have to say is that i have the anthem and love em.  they butter very easily and fit my style of riding.  I have nothing bad to say about the 4frnt products....All i am saying is i am very happy with the anthem and use them in the park and if we have a mini golf set up i use them there as well.

Which of the two would be more durable because the problem i have with all my skis so far is that they delaminate or just fall apart thanks alot for the help

lil off topic but i remember on the crazy flex charts that the forefronts flexs looks really weird on the graph, not that close to a parabolia like the anthem, can you actaully tell when you ski these things though or does it feel like a smooth natural flex.
