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

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.
