They are pretty damn sweet. I'll be posting a review on both the Whipit and the Allplay soon.

You must treat them like shit. Mine have held up fine over 53 days of Park and rough tree skiing.

Was it an earlier model? Jason said that the skis had some durability problems when the company was just starting out.

Yeah my twisters had the edge pretty much dissolve on them. Granted I was disastering rails to flat so I put them through a beating. Not a huge fan of the durability

The "Friend" by J is my exact dream ski. I have read/heard many good things about J skis. My friend had a pair of Allplays that worked perfect for him, but the topsheet was demolished from doing a bunch of crosses.
