Dkim_10Are they a really durable ski?
Swandog7Define really durable. I could name 5 companies that have a better reputation for durability. Depends how you define "durable".
Dkim_10Durability by they won't break no matter how much abuse u put them through. That it should handle any trick youbthrwobat the skis. The edges don't break the bottom doesn't chip the sides don't chip off also

Shoey-Skii could name just about every other company, IMHO line's durability sucks
Toast4DaysWRONG. i got 2015 travelling circus and within 10 days of riding i had edge cracks and were delaminating. shit durability. i got warranty and got the blends as a replacement. used them the rest of the season and they are still in great condition
the tc is a wide buttery park ski. if that is what your looking for i would go with the blends. they are just as soft and they have a sidewall. the tc just has cap construction and if ur hitting rails they will break
Dkim_10What about the park blanks?

Swandog7They aren't soft at all, pretty much full camber, like a 9/10 stiffness. Not sure if that's what you want if you were looking st the TC
Dkim_10They are really that stiff? I am a 115lbs so they would be to stiff for me because i want a good solid in the middle flexed ski. I really like the look of the blanks and the price point of them.
Swandog7I mean for the blanks, not TC. Sorry for the confusion
Dkim_10No ur good I was referring to the blanks so they wouldn't be a buttery ski? And they would be to stiff for me I'm 115lbs and if I try to butter or flex them would they break on me?
Swandog7You won't break blanks trying to flex them. They won't be buttery almost at all, but if you can Ollie and nollie correctly you can nollie or Ollie on any skis
Dkim_10I heard that if you get to stiff of a ski you can snap them

BurgyNo...no stiff park ski will snap easily, stiff park skis are strong and are meant for heavy impact, they aren't brittle rental skis. if anything soft skis are known to snap easier.
.... u r 5'5'' and 115 lb.... u can ride plywood and it wouldn't snap. Don't be fooled by marketing gimmicks and advertising on NS. At your size/age you don't need a hard core durable ski meant for dudes that are 6' 175 lb and hitting 60+ ft jumps, ski a ski that is meant for you. Today most park skis are well made and are at least decently durable, just get a basic or entry level park ski and it should hold up for you fine.
