Afterbangs kind of suck. They are heavy, the topsheet chips and then water soaks in and makes them even more heavy. There's better options out there.

They are a great rail ski and I love mine.  They pop nicely onto rails and are super fun and soft.  Also have held up for 25 days of hard railing this season so I would say they are durable.

I think they are really good, especially on rails.
Some people says that you can´t jump on jumps who are bigger than 10 meters because they get so unstable, I don´t agree with them!
It is just one thing I dont like with them, and that is the speed! They are really slow, but I have heard that it is something who is a problem with all Line Skis.

Yeah I have that same problem I have to wax them like every time I ride. But other than that they are solid.

bases are super slow like the anthems. stay away from line skis unless they are part of the pro model series.

afterbangs are super fun. they're great for pretty much every aspect of park skiing. if you're a jumper, or you ski a bit of all mountain, however, i would recommend checking out chronics. they're stiffer and hold up better while skiing the whole mountain.

They are great on rails, but they DO absorb water and get wicked heavy. You get used to them though and if you everntually move from them to a lighter ski, you will probably spin like a top.
