my buddy ben rocks'em..... these skis can turn it on if you want to go fast, they blow my bents out of the water in crud but have other disadvantages for not being rockered. I've hiked with his skis and mine and both must be heavier than most all other skis and someone prove me wrong but that sounds right to me... These skis will demand that you ski them though, not in the backseat but forward in your boot. buy them if you want to charge and think your legs are as strong as bode's. buy them if you never want to have a learning curve on another set of skis again because if you can ski these you can ski anything...definitely NOT recommended unless you guys ride backcountry or your resort gets dumps because I could imagine they suck on hardpack.
Boy you better wash your hands before you type shit to me...
