i got dumonts. love them. light, poppy, and  butter like toast. great in the park and still perform well all over the mountain. i've heard they're a little stiffer than the thrusters too. love the dumonts though.

I have them and they are amazing.  flexible, my friend has the thrusters, and they''re justa s flexible.  the dumonts aint that stiff, light, sick graphics, got the S12 bindings on them. really, smooth, and easy to turn (Spin), all freestyle terrain ski; pipe, jumps n rails.  smooth landing with ski, even if you land unbalanced.  So the ski is amazing. The only thing is thta its a bit expensive.

both skis are basically same dimensions, but dumonts are wood ad thrusters are foam, and foam eventually dies. Thrusters are a bit butterier but not much, so i'd say go with dumonts for the long run
