but in all seriousness i hate seeing kids suggest a ski they have never ridden before and give a breif description on liek flex and stuff like that. Its fine to sugest a ballpark ski that someone might like but don't take it beyond that point

if you dont know anything about it then yes but if you have friends that have ridden the ski and they have told you about how they ride and how well they work in certain aspects then i think it is okay, or if you have flexed them in a shop you can generally tell the flex just from that or on the companies websites list stiffness. lots of people have general information on skis and i think its great that they share it with others who ask for help. if your making stuff up then its a whole different story, but otherwise people tend to know lots about different types of skis through reading reviews and through word of mouth from other riders. but thats just my opinion.

ON3P Blue Steele's. They have a great flex, and are bombproof. They ride awesome and are one of the most fun park skis made. Oh and by the way I have never ridden them in my life, but these are all facts.

the flex is perfect!  it's poppy but buttery and they hold up perfectly on jumps.  they aren't stiff, but they arent soft either.
