Its the replacement for the TNK.


Switchblade will be similar to TNK but will incorporate semi-cap construction which is combination between sandwich and cap construction. Our team riders are loving the Switchblade so far.

The Switchblade will perform just as well as the TNK on groomers and for skiing all-mountain.

For 11/12 we have replaced the TNK for a new park ski that will be called the "Switchblade". Semi-Cap ski. 181, 176, 171, 166, 156.

he Switchblade will be similar to the TNK but slightly different shape. But it will be our premiere park/pipe ski.

Thats all from the talking to me on facebook.

I owned the first season they were made 155. Long story short they got ruined. havent gotten them back but loved how they rode and the flex was good. So I might get the 166 for next years..or the swtichblades.
