Absolutely 100% loved my scimitars. Fucking perfect park ski, wish I didn't snap mine being an idiot. Literally the perfect jump ski, rails they're a bit big but didn't really limit me at all

i rode the 178 rossi sick birds for about 4-5 seasons and skied pretty much everything with them. I loved them in the park, stiff enough to be stable but the wider waist helps alot on rails without making them feel too bulky. Given i was on teles but i had no complaints

bigger waist often means softer landings, but the added swing weight can be noticeable when in the air

I use a 113mm under foot for park... actually prefer it to my 90mm park ski...

find them super playful.
