I saw actually saw the triplets in person, so dope, here uber uber stiff but look durable i guess but you cant tell by looking, If i remember correctly ( i saw a shitload of skis last night) the jib edition's have a grind plate , super sick anyways to stiff for me . good luck
Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

atomic give you three skis. let's think about this for a second and what this is saying to me. this is saying that, well, you'll probably break our skis but we don't want to deal with you warrantying them so we'll just give you three. atomic says you can acessorize them and ride different ones. well, to do this you have to go to your shop every time and have them remounted unless you get the line binding and plate. also, the edge in the middle of the ski does absolutely nothing at all. it doesn't even really touch the rail when you slide. all it does is make the ski super stiff in the middle so it's pretty much dead right underfoot. instead of beefing up their edges they put one in the middle. brilliant. and when i saw the pink ones i thought they were a girls ski.
the cronic wides have the same dimensions as the pro models from this year. fairly stiff, so think pollards.

^^ actualy you get three bindings with the triplets. And since rail damage isn't officialy under warrantee from any company, it's a good idea I say.

yes, but line will warranty rail damage even though it's not written. they know what you're doing with their skis.

They are both pretty burly skis as far as flex goes. The Elan Mo2 is the ski with the edge in the middle of the base, the triplets urbans extra SET is very close to the outer edges. The chronic wide kinda stops being a park ski at 187cm and turns into ridiculously fast all mountain ski but whatever floats your boat. I'd say check out the new Invaders if you want a ski for mostly park or step up to the Mothership 182cm if you want a fairly big/versitile ski. The Chronics are just too stiff at that length for park.
