They are deff. a sick ski. Unfortunatly if you are a bit hard on your park ski's they do seem to break pretty easy. I broke last years pair the last week in PC and just did the same exact break last weekend at Snowpark to the replacements, hopefully they will warranty these as well.

i really really like mine.... like someone said they are the public enemies with a new top sheet material that really gave the ski a new life it didn't have. i also don't see how someone could break them, def the most bomber proof ski i have ridden, though the top sheet tends to peel a lot but nothing that inhibits your riding capabilities. i have mine mounted at -1 from center. i ski mostly park with it and all mtn it performs extremely well also. it is a great ski imo

Its just a public enemy. garbage then, garbage now, even if it has a shiny new topsheet.

altho, you probably could set them on fire and theyd still ski the same, bomber construction.

they are heavy
they are stiff
not a rail ski
but they are one hell of a solid jump/all mountain ski.
i have mine at center currently, and they kinda suck. they need to be 1 or 2 back.

If you want just park skis then you should get disorderly's.

Contrary to what I've said in the past, they are light, it's just that when i put things on my feet (like skis and boots) I generally compare them to my rollerblades, which are ch1's, which are crazy light. But the skis have like swing weight and i pretty much ski all rails and have ye to crack an edge or destroy my base. I had them all last season, and ski east coast. The topsheets do get a little beat up but you can't really see it on mine since when they have snow on them it's hard to see cause the skis white (I have the first models)
