I'm pretty stoked by the design on the new Anthems!
Old ones looks like crap. Looks like some kind of paintjob a truck could have, stupid wolves.
Loved the 05/06's though.

specs

oldies:       125-90-113.
newbies:  132-100-122.

blend
- sidewall construction
- g-force geometry
- freeride flex
- fatty base & edge
- maple macroblock woodcore


and the new blend has G-FORCE GEOMETRY.. which says:

-tighest radius is in the tail of 5 radius sidecut.
-largest variety of turn radius options at any point of your turn
-very predictable control exiting your turns

and its all from the 0809 catalog

YAY! I hope they don't go up in price. That would kind of suck.

Damn, those look sick.  I have this years and I had to send them in for warranty, so maybe I can get my $ back and get those next year.

why be so critical on graphics? i dont love em but i dont hate em. the goal was to have a trashy, western, truck stop style look to em.  its graphics that youd find on a tshirt for sale in the middle of a truck stop

Yeah. But are there any BIG differences between the two. Advantages disadvantages.

abbbsolutely. The new blends ride amazing. They ski amazing and the reason they are playful is because they dont have any metal at all. I love all the prophets but if youre looking for a ski that can ski amazing but is still playful the new blend is def it.
