I also have them. I got them late last year after I broke my Liberty LTE's and they are a super fun ski! They are pretty flexy on the tips wile the tails are a slightly more firmer for landings with a relatively firm underfoot. My first few laps, I noticed that they rode like a heavier ski so I was expecting spinning on and off of rails to be a bit of a challenge, but after spinning on and off of a few rails, I was pretty surprised as to how light the swing weight was.

They took a little getting used to for me since it was my first time on park-rocker ski, but after a few days on them, I got the feel for things. But overall, I really dig them. If I could only use one word to describe them, it'd be "sturdy".

I Litterally just bought some, will be trying them next weekend!
super excited,

Just wanted to add one thing ihadn't read anywhere and didnt notice when looking at them.
They appear to be foot dependent as in left ski = left food.

Dont worry no one has spontaniously combusted by switching them up!

its just that there thicker on the out edge of both tip and tail.

hopefully other halo and possibly alpha riders knew this thou.
