Overall
Cheap, cool, fast. Any cool word in the dictionary would sum up this ski. You won't be dissapointed.
Performance
THIS SKI IS SOO SWEEET. I love it, the width of this ski makes it really good for stomping dub cork 9's first run of the day. But for real they are awesome. My favorite part is the camber. It's huuuge, provides an insane amount of pop onto rails and off jumps. It is somewhat a heavy ski but you don't even notice it when you're riding. I guess the swing weight is pretty good but again im a pretty big guy so it could just be me.
Design
Dimensions are exactly what i was looking for. If you like wide park skis then these are for you. Completley symetric which is another plus. I only ride center so it works for me, the only recomended point on these skis is center, not to say you can't mount -1 -2. The Graphics are dope as hell. Tj liked it enough to choose the winner, so you should too. Only think i hate is the bright blue base. Im not a fan of colourful bases just ain't my style. Nah mean?
Value
STEAL! 250 for a ski that would cost 600 from any other big company. Bang for the buck for sure.
Fit
I bought the 173's over the 181's which was a mistake. These ski's run short (really elevated tips) but they performed way better than i had thought at this size. I wish they would have made a 178/175 which would have been perfect for my height (5'11). Go bigger if your buying. Don't make my mistake.
Characteristics
I heard this was a stiff ski when i bought it. To me its a good flex. Not too stiff but definitley not soft, not even close. Im a stronger guy and really throw my skis around so that could be why, but i have no trouble really getting up on the tips when buttering. Hold well on presses and jumps but playful enough to throw those k-feds you've always wanted to do on that down flat.
Durability
Good so far. Only problem is the topsheet isn't tough at all and my side wall got this cm deep chip in it. My fault i belive though. When your paying 250 who really cares for durability anyways? Not saying it isn't. It's lasted me half a season so that's pretty good.
