nordica makes some solid skis...a dude at my home mtn is a rider for them, and he shreds hard on the same skis all season long, so durabilty is not a issue! ive heard good things about them too..
plus they look dope, and you cant go wrong with that!

I would say the park skis they make will be really good, seeing how their carving range like the spitfires and dobermans are amazing. although i've never seen anyone riding on any nordica park ski.

My brother has some Nordica sparks and he says that they're super light and playful.

they were really popular on a demo day here.  seemed like most people were saying they were super smooth and had a super low swing weight.  People were loving them on jumps..so I am glad nordica made a symmetrical ski great on jumps(although I don't think being symmetrical helps).

so I haven't skied them..but if I needed a park ski I would for sure go for them if I way offered them at a good price.

When I was in this Shop called Mtn. Soul this summer, the shop keeper swore by these skis. He wouldn't let me see any other product. He says, 'they are light, poppy and super durable. The perfect ski.' I have never skied them, but he sure liked them

it has quite possibly the sickest graphic I've seen in a long time too. Plus it's symmetrical, if you're getting a good deal I'd jump on it.

they are super responsive and super lightweight.  it takes a while getting used to how much pop you get from these.. if you're not on it they'll definitely buck you.  the race base is also super fast, which also takes some time getting used to.  i definitely overshot every jump in the park the first lap i took on these bad boys. 

i'd peg them as a symmetric version of the armada pipe cleaner.

might get these, if only because the wall graphics are so gay and these sound more fun.
anybody else skied them? more fun than the wall or ar6?

The designer for Volkl, responsible for almost every sweet freestyle/freeride ski they make, has been designing skis for Nordica for the past 3 or 4 years.  Very similar feel and quality, which is awesome.
