So I am getting a new pair of skis, and like super buttery skis. I want to get the skis that Kieran rides in the video superflexknown, but can't tell if they are the soul riders

They are soul riders. Don't get Soul Riders if you want a buttery ski, they are not that soft. Karen made his soft.

is night darker than day?

kieran has spent hours and hours riding them and breaking the core in. any ski can become that soft if you constantly bend the shit out of it.

if you are looking for a crazy buttery skis, look at the line traveling circus or armada al dente. (i recommend the TC because they are bomb proof)

133/98/123 Al dente
compared to
134-97-124 Soul Rider

They are basically the same as far as dimensions go.

McSlay does use broken in Soul Riders, but there is no doubt that they are a soft ski. Not too soft where all mtn skiing is difficult, but still is incredibly playful. My favorite soft ski on the market.

the al dentes have more snow contact, because they only have early rise in the front while the soul riders are more symmetrical and have both tip and tail rocker

Would you recommend them if I want a ski that once broken in is very flexy and easy to butter, even if I am not heavy? I am looking at the 169 and I am 5'6" and weigh about 125 pounds

Do you want to ski out of the park too? If You do they should be good. If your only park id look elsewhere.

Yeah I already have a narrow park only ski, and want a ski that I could use with. Undies that ski some park but mostly not! but it could still have fun around the mountain too.
