I remember the huge sale last fall, trying to get the name out, and I was interested in it, but didnt have any money.  I still don't have any money but I was curious about what people thought about them, those that had bought.  I would like to see some reviews, and I am curious about durability. anyone?

check out the review section.  i wrote a review, and contradictory to a few other people who reviewed 'em, they weren't my favorite ski.  very different feeling than anything else i had skied on, but definately still worth trying out.

i bought a pair during the sale and i really like them.  they are really soft and i didnt think i would like how fat they are but i do.  they have a weak topsheet, which i dont really feel matters.  although, i really like them, my friends cor delamenated, but the company is really legit so then send out the replacements super quick, and you dont have to send them to skis.

i skied with a telemarker over christmas that didnt have much good to say about them. now keep in mind this guy skis 95% backcountry on telemarks not alpine gear. he said they were so noodly that he felt he was wasting energy skinning up the hill. he skied on them one day then put them on ebay. he also said he emailed his concerns to blue house and they said they were going to make next years skis stiffer

my friend skis the districts and really likes them. they are light and REALLY flexy. he did get one core shot his first day out, but no damage since. they seem like  fun skis. dont know about the mr.

yes, this years are extremely soft, which is fine for rats, but people trying to take them outside the park are the ones who are not enjoying them as much i feel like. next years are basically the same ski im pretty sure  (dimensions wise) but it is stiffer.

most likely, he's never skied on anything other than a park ski.  not trying to be mean or anything!  just saying, most people who havn't skied on anything but park skis tend to exaggerate a lot when they say something is "stiff."  the MR's are DEFINATELY soft.  they are significantly softer than ghettos, ar6, walls, you get the picture.

so yeah this years MR is way soft and buttery which is fun but i am stoked for next years that are somewhat stiffer.  The new skis are all going to be so baller. 

as for this years I have been really impressed with them.  I felt they actually skied very well outside the park ( 93 waist is baller) and are obviously sick in the park.  They have a good amount of pop and are pretty stable at high speeds.  No chatter.

you can pm me with any questions

super soft, buttery fun skis, but no chatter, can handle any size park, ride all mountain super good, by no means a powder ski, but in my opinion its length shape and flex are sick

MRs are super fun, they are real soft but not too soft for park. I'd say the tail is like invader soft and the tip is like ar6ish. kinda weird at first having a softer tail than tip, but it works out well.
