Does anyone know how this years troublemakers are durabililty-wise? (i.e better than past years skis exploding at the sight of a rail)
and if anyone has them, hows the weight.

trouble makers are amazing skis. they used to have problems with the edge getting ripped out but they fixed that problem with teh reinforcment stuff. other than that mine havent delamded or anything they ride great. but i will say the topsheet shows nicks pretty easily but nothing to worry about.

they havent had problems for the past like 3 years dude, the ones that sucked were the green ones that were produced in 04/05 at the latest, i think.

The TM limiteds dont, but the Trouble Makers do.

But they are one of the best park skis out there, especially with jumps and pipe, and now, rails. With any ski, if you detune underfoot well, the edge will last longer, and with the tms, they are much much better than they used to be.

They are a bit more on the heavyish side, but they still have little swing weight. Like I said, one of the best park skis.

Money flex. They aren't super stiff, but they are stiffer in the tip than they used to be, and a touch softer in the tail, And they are one of the more resilient/liveliest park skis out there; tons of pop.
