To those who have had experiences with these or currently have them, what can you tell me about these skis? Are they durable? Will they hold up on jumps > 50 ft? Just tell me everything you can about them and if you have had a positive or negative experience with them. Thanks!

i haz them....i love them, they arent made for bigger people, they are cheap but arnt that durable, i use them on 50ft jump and they hold out decent, they are so nice for rails and all that jazz, if you are looking for a good surface jump ski get the double time, they are a bit more but from what i have heard they are a super good jump and all around ski, cheers!

How long did you have them for until they started to have issues with durability? Did the edges start falling out, delamming, etc?

i have skied on them 25 days and im surprised my edges are still in even though i got a huge gash right beside my edge and the edge is still perfect, the topsheet comes off pretty easy but its all cosmetic, but i thrash mine anyways

landing switch on big jumps is kinda sketch cause they have alot of rocker in the tails so they arent that stable them, like i said get the double times!

i'd go with double times if you can. thats what i have this year and i like them alot. they're really stable as well. i havent ridden the no times but i was considering them and i just decided to go with the double times.

i dont think you'll regret getting either, but like i said, i like my double times a lot.

I have no times and i love them. they are super buttery and so i wouldnt recommend them for big jumps but for jibbing they are rediculous. ive heard the double times are a bit on the stiff side but if ur looking to get some big air go for the double times.

Thanks everyone. I was just wondering as well so thanks for the thread and comments. Are double times good for rails though?

Rode them for 2 days and the edge on the tail has separated. Not a huge deal because they're so cheap
