got the hookup for a cheap pair, new - i wasnt looking into these, but they are sick skis i know, with sick graphics. before i drop some cash on them, i just want to know how they do as far as holding up. how the edges and bases do, and what the flex pattern is like on them. checked the reviews, so just looking additional knowledge!

anyone who has them, how are they long term?

Well i got some 182 ones, i used them alot and they seem to be holding up great. I´ve had alot of trouble with my older trouble makers, edges and stuff. but these are still like new. The flex is a little harder then expected though, but i dont mind really. It would be nice with a softer ski though. But i´ve heard people say tm´s are soft, but mine sure are pretty hard. atleast alot harder then them fujis.

if you look at the ski from the side, you will know why, the tips and tails are soft, hence why it feels like a soft ski withthe hand flex, then it looks like there are levels as the ski gets closer to the boot, with the second stage being stiffer, and the underboot area being fairly stiff, making it ski a alot stiffer and much more stable, but yet, still fairly easy to butter, especially if you want to go rainville on it and butter completely off the tips of the noses.

oh, and the edges are a huge improvement over how they used to be.
