Sorry about all these threads I'm making but I just want to find the perfect BC freestyle ski. I can along the new life's in a 174 for a good deal. Basically I was wondering your guys opinion on them as a ski. Also I've heard they are full rocker and I've also heard they have camber, which one is it?
I've seen eliel hindert shred on these and also they're pretty light and durable from what I understand. I own the one life's but I want to replace with this ski.

I have had a pair for 2.5 seasons and they are now totally fkd.
They have been really fun pow skis. They are flat underfoot loads of rocker tip and tail. They are stiff enough to not get flopped about and land bigger drops.
They are easy to maneuver and relatively light. I am 5'8/9 and have them in 184.
They are awful for touring, tiny amount of effective edge for climbing and cumbersome.
The base material is not that durable, mine are totally shredded.
All in all, I have liked them and sad to see them go.

I'd stick with the YLE's, the camber underfoot will help you pop. However these are .3 lbs. lighter, but the weight will be more spread out because the new life's are wider.
