who's riding it? is it more of a stiffer ski like the chronic, or it is on the softer side?

It's a mid flex - in between the Chronic and the Afterbang. It's really light and poppy "All-mountain" ski, but it terrorizes the park for sure. Very fun ski for sure.

If you have chronics already keep them and get something soft as a jib ski (like Afterbangs or Anthems) and keep the Chronics for a groomer/jump/pipe/all-around stiff ski. That's what I'm gonna do - Chronics for jumps/pipe, Afterbangs for rails, jibs, and playfulness.

Yeah, the graphics aren't the greatest - but as a ski the are SO much fun, if you really have the graphic it would be SUPER easy to paint over it and make them your own.

you could also try to get another brand of skis, since you already have chronics probably wouldnt go with salomon or armada, try like corupt or surface. or just get the afterbangs. my little brother just got them and the flex in them in just ridiculous

on another note about the disorderly, i have heard from many people that they measure roughly 5cm longer in length. so me being 5'10.5", should i go with the 179? or should i drop down to the 169.

haven't thought of painting them or something before mounting bindings?

or just sand down the original graphics

Hmm a wicked buttery ski surface watch life my friends has them i got to use them for a day there sooo buttery, basically noodles.

I have afterbangs and there wicked buttery my weight isn't sufficient enough to buttery the ski properly but they pop really well and ant that bad around the rest of the mountain.

Another friends ski that Ive tried are the masterminds, there pretty cool a mix of everything they hold there own on the whole mountain.
