They won't be nearly as quick to edge, and won't make fast turns at all. They carve really smooth, and make huge, sweeping turns because of the sidecut. Super light and stiff compared to the PE's, but a ton better in powder, and a ton more durable.

my friend got some msp's and used them for the first time today. i think they will get scratched and chipped along the sides really easy. really fun to ride though for sure

good choice in skis, very sick. I love mine and I've only ridden them twice. I recomend center mounting them, there awsome.

I can't say that I have skied on 4FRNT's yet, but I like the idea behind the company and their vision of a kick ass ski. I have skied with the owner Matt S. and he isn't gentle on his boards, I know the company will do well.

my msp 180 is harder to control than my mad-trix on flats, but its just something that u will have to get used to. its a big fun, fast stable ski, they jump really well when center mounted, over all i am very impressed with 4frnt skis

they chemically react with the metal rail and spontaneously combust on impact. NOT A GOOD RAIL SKI!

if you have a vertical sidewall ski that has a chipping topsheet(or before you ski them) take a file or 60 grit sandpaper wrapped around a block of wood ad bevel the topsheet where it meets the sidewall so it is rounded a little. this should/will stop the chipping
