So my local shop in MD has some Scott Twalls, the red one from the '13 season. Does anyone have experience with the ski? I am worried about durability due to previous scott skis.
Basically I want to know about the:
Durability
Flex : Stiff or Soft
Best things to do with them: Jumps, rails, etc..

Thanks.
I searchbarred and didn't come across much.
+K for helpful answers!

I demoed them and they are definately best at jumps. They are a stiff ski with ridiculous ammounts of pop. If your not paying attention while riding they will pop on their own. I really liked them and would buy them if i had the money but i have no idea how durable they are.

I know graphics mean nothing and the ski is everything, but my god, scott has the worst graphics ever. Especially on the Twall.

I disagree, I think they look alright.

Certainely better than the graphics on the Head Caddies I was considering. Those things look like someone ate a unicorn and lolly pops and puked all over the topsheet, threw a Head logo on there and called it good.
