I've only heard good things about them, I'm sure someone that's actually skied them can give a lot better info than I though.

i love mine

theyre a little on the stiff side, which makes them great for skiing outside the park, but they work very well for big jumps too.

overall a great ski, i would say go for it

i have heard that they wont hold up on rails for more than a year or 2. a little overpriced too. but other than that there insanely light and hot

^^ true and if you get a pair of light binders, you could get one of the lightest setups out there....

this^, i put some sheap rossi bindings on my jon's and their amazingly light! and they worked fine on rails for me, im primarily a rail skier and i only had 2 minor edge cracks. id say amazing ski and great buy if you can get them somewhat cheap.

Don't use them on rails often, they're a jump ski, so the edges aren't able to hold up very well on rails and crack and pull out. They are extremely light, but that's because of the foam core, which can snap easily if you put too much abuse on it too. I would recommend you pick a different ski if your doing a lot of rails.

How big are you?  What kind of features are you going to be hitting?  How big of features are you hitting?

This info will help people give good info, so always include it when you are asking about new skis.
