Okay i have had a small pair of chronics all my life and i just got this years pair.  They are mounted in between center and the recomened mounting spot.  I have px12 ti on them and these all the all around sickist skis i have ever riddin.  They do everything.  Has anyone else ridden theses skis and what do they think of them

i ride chronics and they're awesome. they kill it in the park. such a sick ski for rails and big jumps. if you want something that would be a little more fun for butters and boxes, check out the anthem or the afterbang.

you'll be stomping your landings on chronics, and buttering onto rails with invaders.

Go with chronics they are a way more solid ski.  I have riddin both and i like chronics better cause they do everything.  And yes you can still kinda butter on chronics

go with the anthems, they're a good combo of the both of those skis

they're wider too and you can hit jumps and rails

and plus because of the butter zones on the anthems, you'll be able to butter with ease....................unlike Nick1867

^All Chronics have crows on them...

I ride 08-09s, the orange ones and i love them too. Landing backwards is so fun. I have mine halfway in between recommended and center and they shred. I can;t really butter them well, but i'm like 120lbs and 5'4'' and i rid 166cms, so go figure.

I am thinking of getting chronics. I am 5'0, 90lbs and love hitting jumps , rails and carving. Would they be good for me or would they be too stiff?  Also would the anthems be too wide for me?
