im sorry, i just had to ask! im completely torn between the two skis! the blue steeles seem pretty great for what i do because they're durable and have rockered tips and tails so catching on rails will be near impossible and they will hold up against urbans. The rockers mixed with the stiff flex also sounds amazing becuase it will be super sick on rails and jumps.

the antics have a super low swing weight and are apparently really poppy and for only 300 they're almost irresistable haha. im a little worried about the non symetrical tip/tails as i love symetrical skis.

someone help me out, which skis? haha thanks karma will be given for those who help.

One brand is made in the USofA (hint: it's not Bluehouse), and the other in China. What do you think most people will recommend here?

yeah....i think im going with the bs, but not because of this. they just seem more like a ski i would want to ride, and a rockered park ski is so persuasive!

I have a friend that has on3p steeles and loves em, however they don't have edges on the tips and tails making it easier for them to pull out.

antics are $250 and are so much fun. lots of pop, low swing weight, 7/10 stiffness. not sure how much the blue steeles are but if they are over 300 i would suggest the antics. lots of fun and cheap not sure what more you could ask for!

Don't let the made in china fool you, Line's are made in China and they are still bombproof.

They are exactly like that. You really can't go wrong with the BS.

I would be surprised if you could come up with many cases of edges pulling out.

Really? How so? The main difference between 3/4 edge wrap and a full edge wrap is that the full edge wrap is more likely to delam / experience edge pull outs since the metal is bent further beyond it's elastic limmit. There is a reason both moment and on3p use a 3/4 edge wrap.

I suppose you could get 2 pairs of blue house skis for the price of one ON3P. Then again not sure if the two pairs would last you any longer then the one pair.
