i skied them last night and have em for the weekend.
i personaly loved em. kill rails, decent on jumps, have a good price so ive been told.
(retail 350$ but not positive) 177 center mount was bomb. thought id like the 166 better but 177 are super playful. all around a great park ski for the money. a buy fo sho.
butter on bread; word.

I love having a nice stable platform to land on, especially in the tails.  Will bangs give up on me if I mess my landing up a little?

ive skiied the shit out of em the past few days and the top sheet seems to be champ but idk id have to ski them for awile i gues.  but messin around on little tree bonks and what not didn't do anything. i was impressed. stability and jumpwise is hard to tell because i don't weigh anything. 135lbs on a 177. i nuckled a tad on the first big hit on em today and they were fine. they spin good and land a little rough (compaired to an ar6 etc.) but i ll prolly get some 166. still give em mad props. word

Just out of question.  Are you sponsored by LINE?  Because on your page it shows you ride AR6 and Hellbents.  So are you just making this shit up, or do you know someone.  Maybe I'm just missing something this late at night.

theyve been at various demos and whatnot across the country.  i skied on them too.

they skied like a park ski.  decent, but not earth shatteringly progressive like people seem to believe.   too soft my liking, and 177 is too short for the longest length in a ski, but i can see them being fun for someone smaller.

not that my opinion matters...these skis are gonna sell like hotcakes because kids are told that theyre cool.
