i haven't ridden them but i believe, they are on the stiffer side so more jumpski than rails but will still kill on rails, has the race base i think just like the pipecleaners so those will hold up no problem

just what i heard :o

I havn't skied them but i had a play with them in a shop. They are nice and solid but could probably butter really nice with the rockered tips and tails. Apparently they slay jumps and are mad light so they can also carve up on rails.

They're a sick ski, super fun to play around wih. Stiff, not so stiff in the tips and tails, pretty easy to butter. Um, decently light. I mean, I think all skis feel the same on rails so I dunno what you're really looking for. Compared to the AR6's, I think I like the Alphas better. Both real good skis though.

dude the alpha 1 ski is a jump ski im pretty sure jacob wester desinged them specificly for huge jumps and stomping doubles. they have a new technology that will help u buter more off jimps without having to worry about catching an edge.
