Joystick These Skis

So these (no pun intended) skis are cheap and look solid! I'm 5'10, 140 lbs beginner/intermediate park skier, expert all mountain skier. I ski on the east coast where ice is abundant and my park is fairly small (15 ft jumps). I was looking for a pair of park specific skis that I can mess around on and not be too worried about damaging, so the $200 price point on em fits well with that! For those of you who have owned/heard about them, should I go for it? Thanks, any helpful input is much appreciated!

Majesty comics are good skis for park and pretty durable, I've had no problem with them but the base is a little softer than skis like the ar7 or solomon suspect. And comics are softish, light, and very poppy ($250)

Search for them on NS or look at kids who have them at your hill. They are supposed to be a fairly good ski, but they are notorious for having the same recurring problem: the tips are extremely prone to smashing in when they directly impact something. This does not necessarily affect the performance of the ski immediately, but over time it degrades the structural integrity.

Would throwing in so rivets help?

I've been riding on them this year and love them. Poppy, light for their width, soft enough for butters but still decent stability because of camber. They're the cheapest built skis I've ever seen though (you get what you pay for)
