i had a chance to ride the skullcandy collab and i really liked it. theyre extremely light and very poppy. i already ride light skis (original line chronics) and i felt like i could whip the skullcandy collabs around much better (could nearly 360 on flat ground)

I have the skullcandy collab. The topsheets are the same as any sandwich construction ski; a couple chips and dings. So far mine haven't snapped and I'm 180 lbs and 6'. The problem with their skis snapping was from a few years back. They are really light and poppy. They can ollie really well. Such a fun ski.

Yeah my buddy rides nothin but surface and he's an ex college football player so....he's pretty much a giant. Haha. He's like 6'4" and 270lbs. Never seen him break a ski yet. Funny too cause someone above earlier was talking about flat Ollie 3s and my buddy does that shit on his all the time. He skis doubletimes though. He's skied all the others and says the dubs are the best one they make for him. It's preference but from what I've seen they're all fairly durable. On par with anything else out there.

Im pretty much the exact same size & I have the collabs aswell. Been riding them for around 12 days so far, pretty much all in the park / ripping down groomers and they have held up great. They are so easy to throw around and ski shorter than skis I've had in the past. I would recommend getting them, especially at the price (I got them for $189)

No the camber is just a gimmick pretty much, you can barely see the camber when you put them together, its more that 172 is a better length for you, 162 is way too short. Also if you are worried about them being too much ski don't sweat it, those things are like toothpicks, so light and easy to throw around.
