alright, i need some new park skis this year and i have found that the antics sound perfect for me.

problem is i have heard there are some spotty reviews and there are durability issues. i have had my mind set on them for a while, but when it comes down to it im having second thoughts about the durabality. i want them because there cheap, look sick, are good for me, and Bluehouse is a core company that is moving production to SLC that has amazing customer service.

i have already searchbared and googled. yet im still wondering about the durabality. if i dont get these i would get line masterminds.

so if you have owned the antics or even bluehouse skis. please be honest about the durability and what you thought of them. and do you think there better/more durable then the masterminds?

thanks guys!! ++K to good honest answers!!

I got them a couple years ago and they held up for 2 and a bit seasons. I finally under rotated a backflip and snapped one of the skis at the tip.

They are SUPER light and a really fun ski. They held up really well on big jumps. I had a couple small edge cracks from rails but nothing major.

Over all I loved them and I will for sure look into getting another pair when my Icelantics give out.

Ive heard people complain about durability but from my experience they are a great ski.


They have great customer service too. I snapped my pair more than 2 years after buying them and they were willing to give me another pair for super cheap.

light, snappy and surprisingly sturdy on jumps for such a narrow ski underfoot.

pretty sure like almost everything in life you get what you pay for, but i picked up my pair for a good price last season and haven't had any issues with mine. i have around 10 days +/- and no edge cracks or problems of any kind.

stop fucking bumping this and cluttering up gear talk. you already got your answer.

they are a cheap park ski. for years Bluehouse has been known to produce "hit and miss" skis, particularly for park. sometimes they'll press something great that will last the consumer a few season; and sometimes they'll fall apart after a few weeks. (applys to all BH models)

you're not going to get identical feedback from 100% of the users of any ski, so stop expecting NS to spoon-feed you reviews.

it's alright, i forgive you.

honestly i love my Antics but i've heard some really spotty reviews of them as well. if i were you i'd take your money elsewhere to a more well known brand.

i'll even give you another bump because i sounded like an asshole. ha

thanks guys, i think im gonna gate them because i have been skiing on junior cap construction fischer addicts, and they have held up fine for 2+ years and on the summer setup and i only weigh 110 pounds. and im sure the antics being a adult sidewall ski will hold up better then them. do you agree??

thanks
