These skis suck. They fall apart like crazy. They use a shitty edge that rips out. There are no flanges on the edges. They don't warranty it either.

Get a different ski.

they fall apart. fun for jibbing though. i couldnt land a single thing on jumps with my 180 08s. the tail is way too soft. i just washed out everytime.

Seriously?  Mine were stiffer than my pow skis....I could hardly even butter them unless I was pressing hard and moving fast.

Durability is a coin toss though, even though these skis are fun as shit.
