hey, so i'm just wondering what some flexy skis are? right now i have line afterbangs and they are supposed to be very flexy, but since i'm so skinny, it's hard to butter. is there a way to make them flexier? that or just some really flexy skis. thanks

hold them over a fire for roughly 30 mins let them cool then do it again. the heat spreads out the molecules in the core which loosens it up making it more flexy (this will counteract the cold temps on the mountain that make your skis stiff

but you gotta test them bofore. try to flex them till you hear some cracking and then they'll be ready for the fire.

OP, don't listen to them, they're just fucking with you cause you're new. If you're looking for buttery skis, I'd second the suggestions of Line Masterminds and Atomic punx, they're both known to be really flexy.

depends i usually keep them over till the topsheet is completely black this also helps prevent chipping and that lasts usually a season unless i ski extremely cold days alot

punx are flexy but nowhere close to as soft as the afterbangs. op i was in your same position a few years ago and if you plan on hitting any jumps, you do not want softer skis. i wanted my line invaders to be softer (yes i was retarded) but after i got my chronics i realized that sometimes super soft skis aren't the answer.

and yeah there really isn't anything you can do, you should be able to make them flex, and they will most likely grow softer with time

You can make them more flexy by buttering harder

Buy Line anthems.

Or waterlog your skis.

I have waterlogged anthems, I have the flexiest skis ever

Line Elizabeths, can't believe no one's said anything. They're practically made of floppy dicks... which, based on how much I liked my EPPs (also made of flacid man-parts) should be awesome.

I've heard the Joystick park ski was pretty soft, too, but I don't really know.

How to butter: go faster. More force = easier to bend

Set one side of the ski on a brick for leverage then drive over them with you car and leave you car on it for about 30 minutes a day.
