dude. this ski is FLOPPY. i am not 100% on the exact dimensions but i have skied this ski and it reminded me of a thall. in retrospect. it might not be as floppy as i think it is becasue i am used to my karmas which are 2 by 4's.

but yeh man it is a slopestyle designed ski. designed by nik. karlstrom.

in terms of stiffness... reviews from this year say it "buttered its way into the hearts of many" and that it has a "buttery flex pattern"

I know they softened up the 08 model. Fouldsys has them, and said they are comparable in flex to his urban triplets.

And Luc is a beast of a guy, so I think any ski that isnt super stiff would feel a bit floppy at times.

i am actually not that beastly of a guy i am just used to 2 by 4's. also i have strong legs for my size but anyways the skis are soft. there is no fuckin way that the tnk is like a carving ski. urban triplet sounds like a comprible comparison.

the dimensions are 112/87/108 for the 175, and the ski is super poppy with just the right amount of butteryness, its just a hair heavier than the stl, i think its definitely the sickest ski out their line for park this year
