SchoessHere's your review. They absolutely rip, they are durable, tons of rocker but not "soft". The skis hook up really well when you lean them over and don't chatter on big jumps. Lighter than the 100 obviously, so perfect if you're a big techy boii on the railz. If you live in the mountains or are not Andreas Hatveit I would highly recommend the 100 because of the fun factor and it dealing with chop a bit better, however you can't go wrong either way. IMHO most major manufacturer's skis are built to the same(ish) quality (poop water). I've been riding ON3P's exclusively since 2017ish? And I don't see why I would stop anytime soon
SkiEnthusiast420Too heavy imo. Sold my mango 100’s after five days. I’d rather use a lighter but less durable ski. All manufacturers use the same 2.5 edge anyway and that’s the breaking point in my experience, so having a heavier and thicker sidewall adds no value for me since the edge is the thing that breaks first.I also think their durability is overrated because any manufacturer can make a durable ski if they don’t care about weight, like the K2 poacher is a similar case.

CelerySounds to me like you need to go to the gym, they aren't very heavy.

SkiEnthusiast4201900g per ski on a 176cm mango 100 is pretty significant compared to 1700g on similar park skis, it adds up. They are literally one of the heaviest park skis on the market next to the k2 Poacher.

jcaWho else uses 2.5x2.5? I know there's a couple of brands that do but pretty sure that's not the norm at all.
