Any opinions on them? Has anyone ridden them? I might buy them for next season just for the hell of it. I like the taper in the tip and tail.

I rode a pair at SIA on snow, the bases are definitely faster than the TC ski or future spins have been. I had a slightly smaller size than I wanted to try but even with that they were incredibly stable. More of a medium flex, they did quick butter turns real smooth with the tapered tips.

I'll say I was impressed after being disappointed in the future spins, although would I get them over the chronic? still probably not.

They're replacing Master minds. Unless you're new to park and won't be riding hard, then you won't like them as they will chip like crazy.

You're seriously reviewing a ski on how much the top sheet will chip.

Just gtfo before you embarrass yourself.

Yeah man sorry. Whether or not the top sheet chips like crazy, and let's snow get into the core is irrelevant. Plus who gives two shits if your skis are missing half their top sheet.

It's pretty hard to chip a top sheet to the core, cap is easier but you still have to go through x amount of fiberglass to get there and really, with proper maintenance you shouldn't worry about it happening.
