they have been much improved this year - wood core, sidewall construction, slightly heavier though, and probably the same poor durability on rails (I mean it's not TERRIBLE, but it's not really good either). If you're looking for a good, light, poppy, jump ski that can take the biggest booters in the world with ease than this is a good choice.

Are the Bullet 84s better for rails?

pretty sure it's the same ski with a different graphic for cheaper.

How many rails are are you doing - they don't suck, but if you're gonna be spending more time on rails than jumps they're probably not the best to pick.

im pretty sure its the same as last years, last years were realy playfull, fun, poppy, good for spinning, buttering, and IMO have a better topsheet.
