If you watched the new B&E you'd notice that henrik destroys rails, so it looks like his skis can take the abuse. Anybody got them? How are they? Also, if you look on the site, the waist gets wider as the ski gets longer but then shrinks at the longest size.

So who's got em?

I have personally never ridden them, so my opinion is pretty useless to you, but you shouldn't make the assumption that because Henrik Harlaut destroys rails in an edit you saw on the internet, he has durable skis. Athletes go through multiple pairs of skis a year, especially park skiiers. For example, Jeff Kiesel RAPES skis, but that didn't mean that surface nine lives are durable skis (far from it, actually)

well if it helps any...
I have over 200 park days on a pair of ninthward le comte's (mik d pro) and aside from a few edge cracks and topsheet chips, I have no missing edge underfoot.  I have been quite content with ninthward durability, so I got another pair. Dont know if the durability is the same for all models these days but I would hope so.
