Like the subject stated. I am seriously considering buying last years bangs because my skies (J.O. Pro 08's) have fallen apart. If anyone has After bangs can they list the Pro's and Con's?

I do not own Afterbangs, but this is just what I have heard.
Pros: Buttery ski, good for rails, low swing weight.
Cons: Slow extruded base, unstable on large jumps. The sidewalls chip easily.

Pros: great on rails and boxes, buttery, pretty snappy edge to edge on groomers, strong edges and bases, great on med small jumps, price$

Cons: bases don't hold wax to well( but they hold up well on boxes), one of the tails de cambered, wood chips around the tips and tails looks like shit but does not effect the performance, and don' t land backseat on bigger stuff because they don't really have the backbone for it.

I've done half a season on mine and they're OK... They really are a bit of a dull ski though.
