has anyone tried those skis? i think the geometry or measures of that ski is sick, but i don´t know much of that brand or the quality or much of anything, haven´t even found info on internet, is that a new brand? would you recommend it? any opinion would be terrific.

I've never skied on the attack before but the k-10 is an amazing ski, very durable, not too stiff and not too soft, very poppy tail and from what I've seen the attack is just a bit more bombproof and wide. Hopefully that helped

I have spent six days of my attacks.
My impression is that they are a well built ski, however I did have to hit the top sheet edges with a file cause they weren't completly routed, not a big deal. I love the symetrical alpha ish shape and the preorder price was great. I am kinda used to a much stiffer ski and I am on the heavier side (210lbs) so it did feel a bit softer than I would have liked, maybe some carbon stringers would make it perfect. If you are looking for a no frills, playfull and reliable jib ski these would be great. If you are looking for a aggressive charger
All-mountain ski these may not be your best choice.

thanks for that info, didn´t know they where kinda like the alpha x (i guess that would be for the low tip n tail right)

btw how you feel them in the jumps?

None of the bigger jumps are ready yet, but they are nice and light and can be flicked around cleanly on the small features. Presses and butters are easy. These are playfull and forgiving skis, they are an all mountain ski for someone who sees the mountain as a series of jibbing opportunities. But don't expect them charge aggressively. Basically center mount these things and get creative. You won't keep up with any racer type buddies, but you can have fun trying.
