the searchbars

fully symetrical sidecut/flex
really soft and fun but the second you take to the air they are magically stiff to get the pop.
graphics are sweet too

Im gonna hijack this thread.

I'm 6'2, 180 lbs, fairly agressive in the park. I am too big for invaders? All I see are little fuckers skiing around on them, and 178 just seems too short for centermount of such a soft ski. Anyway, if any full size adults ride these skis, what are your thoughts? If not invaders, is there another symmetrical ski thats stiffer?

To th OP: it depends on what you want to do with them, jumps or rails or both. To the big guy asking about invaders: you are too big for them. Check out Fischer Addict Pros.

The perfect ski is in the eye of the rider. Some like a soft ski, some like stiff skis. What have you ridden in the past?

I rode scratchs this year. They werent bad, too stiff though. I need something with a little more play in it. I think the ar6's are sick, i like the moment reno jib and the suspects. But im not sure, i also looked at coreupt the other day. Im not sure how they will be though, not a lot of people have ridden them.

None of those skis are softer than the scratches, except maybe the ar6. Check out T-Halls or the stl.

hey,
I think I classify as a full sized adult. Im 6'4 and about 196 pounds. I agree that the Invader prob doesn't have what your looking for for durability, you would prob end up bending them like a wet noodle. But I ride the Anthem and havn't had a single thing wrong with them. I have gotten over 100 days on them so far and have put them though some pretty burly things (I did a 40 + foot cliff on them and all I ended up breaking was the toe cap for my binding /claim). I would def recommend getting them center mounted because with your height and weight these things are a blast to butter. I am by no means a light skier, I have put these things through the ringer and have come out in great shape.

Hope this helps, and sry if if my grammar and spelling were off, im actually trying to write a paper right now for school so I was in a rush.

Doooont get suspects, looks super legit and cool, but break easily and the top sheets go to shit after a couple runs in the park.
