pros and cons about riding stiff sticks or soft. how hard is it to hit BIG jumps with a more buttery ski? also what about at high speeds, of course they will chatter, but is it really that big of a deal?

went from K2 Domains to Moment Vice. The Vice are much stiffer and I instantly noticed a big difference in my landings on jumps. The same night I started out on the Vices I started stomping the two tricks I'd been trying to learn on the Domains for half the season, 900 and cork 7, just because I didn't wash out on my landings.

i notice a difference on jumps solely because my skis give the soul rider a run for its money in the flex department

My life flashed before my eyes when I did a cork 7 on a 60 foot jump with invaders

The trend is for kids wanting super soft ski's because they think they are going to butter like Adam Delorme....They aren't. Most people would be better served on ski's with some backbone.

This guy knows what's up. Some 12 year old saw henrick harlaut butter so know they all want al dentes. Buttering is very fun but you can have a ski that is medium to stiff and still butter and do bigger stuff.
