the only difference that there MIGHT be is carbon stringers, but im almost 100% sure they both have them. so yeah, pretty much they are the same ski

that is what they are designed for and i can vouch that they are great. Dont go to big on jumps because they begin to uck and you may butter out

Pffffff if you can't hit big jumps on a soft ski then you must suck.

Anyway, the 08 has carbon stringers, the 07 does not I think. I have the 07's, love them. In my opinion, the invader is one of the skis that everyone must have at one point.

I think they still may be at the top of my list, maybe behind lizzies.

hmm kinda the same reason i dont want afterbangs is cause if you land just a bit forward or backseat you wash out

They are a super cheap crappy ski and they are made by line thats why everyone likes them. i have lizzies and i think they are fun to play around on do rails and shit but when i tried out my friends invaders they where absolute crap. Dont waste your time on them just get afterbangs instead if your only skiing rails and jumps up to 30ft.

Haha why is that interesting?

And whoever said they washed out all the time, it's probably because you don't know how to ski/ suck.

I have the 07/08 Invaders and yes they have the carbon strings but if I remember correctly the 08/09 has more of them. At least I love my Invaders they´re so fun to play around with.

You can't go wrong for $60, even if you just use them for backyard jibbing/summer setups.
