Replying to Honey Badgers

So ive seen not necessarily hate on honey badgers but comments about them being cheap and not durable and overall just that there are better options out there. While I'm sure that there is truth to this, I just wanted to put my opinion out there on the honey badgers for anyone that maybe is in a similar position to me (still learning simple tricks i.e. 360, sliding unnaturally, front 270 out of rails). I have been skiing my 18-19 honey badgers a lot the past two weeks, putting more hours on them than ever before, and I can't imagine a better ski to learn on. The honey badgers are light, their flex is inducive to learning how to ollie onto features and to learning how to butter, and they are cheap.

TL;DR - if you arent putting these things through the gauntlet, they are a great first option as a park ski as they are light, flexy, and cheap
