just picked up a pair of 08 tnks and was wondering how everyone felt about them. im currently riding 2010 line elizabeths and wanted a ski that was a little easier for jibbing.

also, should i go with sth's or markers for these skis?

appreciate the advice

I have a pair of 175 tnks, and to me they feel like a race ski with twin tips.  heavy and stiff pipe ski, but thats coming from someone who weighs 135 and skis on line shadows

yeah it seems like going from the elizabeth which is about the most flexible wide ski ive seen to this is going to be different. it seems very stiff and heavy so im skeptic about keeping them and throwing jesters on them.

I saw them in a shop awhile a few years ago and I thought they were pretty heavy.

i bought mine at hood and they worked on rails fine.  but the first run this year ii tried to carve and crashed into a snow gun cuz i just couldnt control them, plus they were center mounted

yeah ive heard bad things about center mounting these. ive heard to mount it at -2. i have my elizabeths centered and sometimes wish i didnt because its not a 100 percent park oriented ski
