ok so im wondering a few things about atomic punx and urban punx. First of all what is the flex pattern like in both of the skis? Keep in mind I weigh around 100 pounds so how soft/stiff do u think this ski would be for me? Also what is the durability like on these skis? Im currently on invaders and there beat to shit with duct tape holding one tail edge and one toe edge in and multiple other problems and needless to say, after one season of use (97 days so far) i dont think they will make it through another.

Cliff Notes: I need to know the flex pattern and durability of punx and urban punx.

If there is any info i missed please let me know. Also if anyone has either of these skis in a 165-75 range and is willing to sell hit me up with a price!

tho 09 punx are sweet. they look sick, and are mad soft.   they have like a honeycomb design in the tip and tail to reduce the weight.


get punx.

the punx also have reinforced edges, and this year they are symmetrical.

i thought they were always symetrical?? and by reinforced edge are you talking about the same double edge that the urbans have?

i ski decently hard and even though im half your weight, these will be my everything ski, pow, cliffs, park, groomers and all that, and this year i started going bigger on cliffs, (biggest thing i hit was around 30ft) but i guess if my invaders can handle it then atomics should...right?

mad mad soft
ive got the 09 urbans and theres no difference between this years and next.

the Punx are sort of semi designed as a pipe ski so they have a stiff tail and softish nose

while the urban punx are symmetrical flex and dimensions. 107-84-107. so sick.

message me if you guys have any questions.

i have this years urban punx (184) and they're the sickest skis I've ever had for park! they are really soft but in a good responsive way and because of the edge reinforcement the center of the ski is stiffer than the nose and tail which is sick.
