actually they're bigger then 80, 83 i think. iv gotta pair but rarely ride them cuz they were my urban skis and are beat up to shit.

they are good skiing skis, but unless u weigh over 190 pounds and are over 5' 1-' u shouldnt buy then soley for park. so if ur 75% all mountain and 25% park then they're great.

Its a sick ski. Lots of Volkl team guys rode them exclusively, take that for whatever you want.

But yeah, they rip everywhere, deep stuff, in the park, float well, stable, hold on hard pack. Sick ski.

they are not that light... i had last year's with p14s on em and they were decently weighted, not too heavy but not light by any means. i loved em cause they ripped everything, from my trip out to big sky to my normal park skiing out on the east coast. my only complaint was that they had some durability issues. other than that, they were some sweet skis

^you're p14's probably had more to do with the heavyness than the ski itself.....those fuckers are like lead, especially with the plate

I want to get those skis, but they arent available in australia. They were, they ran out, and volkl dont make them anymore. damn. to volkl, I kick your dog and I call him get fucked. I want v-pros



In tractor pulls, a 'full pull' is the best you can get. Ahh, how sport mirrors life.

i ride vpros, and yeah, they rip. i would not recomend them if you ski park a lot, unless youre a pretty big guy. they are by far the stiffest twin ive ever tried, super aggressive, they totaly rip it up. i love them.
