if you do rails and boxes along with jumps then get tnks...tms edges get destroyed on boxes and rails super fast too

I have 180 TNKs and they are sick.  I have never ridden the TMs, but the TNK are pimpdiggity dogs.  they shred everything, I have used them on a pow day when I forgot the pow sticks, and they still held up really well, even shred sw in pow pretty well.

to answer your questions, the TNKs are really light.  lighter than my fujis.  They are stiff, but butters are still possible on them, and because they are stiffer, if you put a lot of power into them, you can pop out of butters really well.  that goes for regular pop too, super poppy and fun.  They arnt flimsy like buttery skis, but sturdy sticks of manly strength.

i have 2006/2007 TM's and personally i love them.  Their light, somewhat stiff but not to stiff, and when your riding all mountain they preform like a champ. 

the only negative thing that has happened is that the edge died on a broken grind but i feel no difference.  realll awsome skis though
