Replying to New Mike Nicks?

Ok, I got about 2 hours to learn all I can about the Mike Nicks....the new 178 version....so anyone and everyone please chime in, I'm wondering if they are nice, or are the shitty, how much flex? I want some pop but I don't want a ski that won't hold a hard line...I'm a little over 6 foot and about 15-160 lbs....the auction ends in 2 hours and I gotta decide to bid or pass. Thanks.

Wait. Film change. Time lapse. Time out. Game on. Going hard. 60 feet. Perfect tranny. Magic hour. One eye shut. Images captured. Dusk hits. Rally out. Sweet day. Sick shots. Cold drinks. Feeling good. Heavy snowfall. 45 expected. Dark again. Sleep.
