they are terrible outside the park. They chatter at high speeds, and are super soft. They are super fun for rails/jibs.

i have them, they feel fine on the groom. i mean there not the most stable but if you like to play around hitting little tree jumps they work fine

not great for just skiing groomers all day. but if your buttering and playing around on the groomers, they can be a great ski for that.

I have a buddy who I work with who rode a pair while his S5s were getting repaired. He decided to charge them hard for a few runs...they like folded in half when he turned and washed out all the time.

Not really sure why people keep trying to actually ski on a ski that was designed and marketed to go from drop-in to rail/concrete ledge/drop to landing. It was built as an urban ski, and that's what it's good at.
