No but they are good skis. If I didn't ride only park I would have been really close to buying them (those, Kartels or PB&Js). What bindings are you throwing on those bad boys?

Get Attack 13s dude. Much better heel piece than the 11s. And sweet dude, the Poachers are great park only skis but they rip the whole mountain (other than pow obviously). They're a nice ski if you aren't looking for a super buttery/jibby ski. I might buy a pair just for relearning larger jumps and other things that I don't feel comfortable doing with my Wets.

Anyone know if they are going to be selling them with the same graphics as the K2 athletes had at X-Games next year or is that just a graphic for their athletes?

No problem dude. The 11s are fine too, I bought them for my 12 year old brother. The thing is you can get 13s for almost the same price and the heel is way better. I went 11s for him because I got a pair of them in the Demo form factor for like $130 which was a great deal (he's growing and wanted to switch from -3 to center later so demos made sense).

You can find the previous Attack 13s for $130 sometimes and you can find the Attack2 13s for $150 if on sale. MSRP obviously would be $200. The only difference between the two is how the toe looks.

I second getting the 13's, you wont regret it. Difficult to say how much they cost since I'm from Europe but around 200$ probably.

If they charge more than $200 laugh and walk away. That's full price and what I paid in the local shop. My other pair I bought online for $130 though. Unless you are trying to support your local businesses or NEED to buy it locally I'd say shop around a bit online. I found several pairs for $160 just now and they were all the Attack2s not the originals. Pretty fair price for being the newer of the two models (once again they function the same, just look different).
