Should I buy these?

They are my first twin tip. The price is right, but are they a good enouph ski?

Im about 70% park, 30% mountain.

75% jumps, 25% jib.

I can do 1's and 3's learning more complex stuff this year.

I can grind, do box's, all that fun stuff.

Will these skis last a season or two?

They are my #1 choice right now.

my shop carries these.  and to tell you the truth... i would look somewhere else...  they just feel sub par.  check tramdock.com as much as you can.  they have crazy good deals on skis every once in a while.  if you don't want to wait for that.  i would check out last years Lines.  the invaders would probably be good for you.

depends on the ski...u talkin about invaders??


the blasts arent all that bad. from what it sounds like u arent simon dumont either (no offence intended) so u dont need a 100% park ski....like the invader...

i actually think the blast is a decent option for you.

it has a little bigger platform for your 30% all mountain and not to mention will be much better out of the park than the invader, because of 1. its not true centered/symmetrical and 2. it has a larger platform, helping you push through all the shit snow.

hope that helps post up any questions this is now in my threads so i will be lookin back into it.

for someone that sounds like they are just getting into park and does some all mountain, i feel like the blasts would be a fine ski for you. with those bindings at that price, its even better for you.

i say go for it. they will definitely last you a season and probably two.
