Atomic Punx in three years

So i got my third pair of Atomic Punx today..
and seriously, i love the feel of the punx, but they got even lighter, this years was awesome.. but the 09's the black and red ones were perfection. Now they are basically way too light and way to flexy.. Can't understand how the pros can stomp shit with these light ass skis, i wash out if i make a mistake and they are super unstable at speed..

Feel free to comment
oh here's a picture

Really? That's weird that they're getting softer. I always sought Punx to be a stiffer park ski and stay like that.

Im norwegian so i don't know my weight in lbs or whatever, but im 70 kg, and i do alot of punch frontflips, so im guessing that's why they break.. and the reason i got 3 pairs is because i love them.. too bad they break all the time: /

the first park ski i truly love (no homo)
im 3 weeks on my punx, coming from TJ pros, Ar6, Walls, Karmas in that order. although the punx are the least durable, in terms of edge and base, they by far feel alot greater than my previous ski. soooo light, super snappy and poppy. very soft for butters and presses. base seems kinda soft though and the edges are very thin. it needs to be treated with care and waxed every 3 days. but so far the ski is awesome. on speed measurement tracks i went 93,7 kmh on them and i had no fear of them being to floppy or unstable.

im sure ill buy another pair if this one breaks.
