i demoed them once, and i was impressed. they skied switch really well and had good pop. most of all tho, they felt super stable despite being two sizes too small for me. where as on the two sizes too small foils, i felt like i was gonna die once i got goin past like 30. as far as the edges go, i've heard of a few durability problems, but rossignol is uber legit in their warentee.

i got um.
havent had a chance to ski em yet.
heard they are a sick ski that have some durability issues.
to prevent your edges from cracking and pulling out you can file them down/detune them so they dont catch as easy on rails and slide better.

I ski FS WRS which are identical. They're damn light, decent pop, mid-soft flex. They ski really nicely, switch too. Pretty durable but not as good as some. I'd buy them again.

They are your typical Park stick. They are pretty soft and buttery. I have a set unmounted that I am looking to get rid of. 300 bucks takes them.

super sick skis- I had the FS WRS(same thing) and I loved them- really poppy-  medium flex- really light.  I broke one of them in half last year though but I sent them back after the season and they sent me this years Squido S4.  Get that shit fo sho!!

Well Im glad you can get them off any website for 300 bucks. Thats why these are price at 300 as well. I would compare the flex to be a little softer than a Troublemaker, with out as much pop. They aren't as buttery as a AR6, Id say somewhere between a troublemaker and a pipecleaner.
