longer ski=more style, as long as you can ride them... it would be weird to have a lot of leverage on such a soft ski though. I hear they suck ass though

you'll be fine.....in fact you'll probably want a longer pair of madtrix after a day or two on your fujatives

I've heard a lot of reviews of hte Fujatives and none of them mentioned that they 'sucked ass'

word around the campfire is that because of it's soft, ALL FOAM core, it'll turn into a noodle by the end of the season. Keep us posted on how they hold up, all you fujative riders out there...

If you own mad trix with the plate, I wouldn't worry about Fujatives being too heavy cause Mad trix are the heaviest park ski I've ever seen!

Are the fujatives really foam core? I have never heard that before and i didn't think that they would put foam in Pep's promodel. Anyways I was just wondering because I am about to get a pair but I want them to last a while.

Foam cores will last plenty long. Wood cores generally feel a bit more lively, but a foam core isn't gonna die after a year. Skis are better now than they were 20 years ago, so don't worry about it. I'm not actually sure whether or not the Fujatives are a foam core, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were, because that would make it easier for K2 to produce the crazy flex pattern for which the Fujative is known.

wow people get the perception that the fujative is super wierd or has wierd flex because of the wierd flex pattern. None of this is really true, its just a ski and it does the same things as other skis and their is really nothing that noticable about the 'flex Pattern' K2 just advertised the flex pattern for marketing and to sell more skis.

oh yeah and does 'triaxially braided wood Torsion box' mean anything to anyone.

Sorry no foam here.

and if anyone feels like disagreeing 'Every Factory Series ski has a Triaxially braided wood core. ' Straight from the k2 website.
