they are a super...super soft ski so if you want this ski for messing around on rails i think they'd be great but if you're also looking for a ski to go big on jumps i don't know if this is the right one, i would imagine that if you get a bigger size they'd be better cuz my friend has shorter ones and anytime he lands hard on the nose or tail they just wash

they're kind of unnecessarily soft.  i had a pair for about two days.  i had to replace them with a pair of blends.  fun for rails, but if you're over 120 pounds and plan on doing any jumping, i'd advise riding something stiffer.

yes very very soft...and just to throw it out there if you have narrow feet you should check out full tilts....the boots are soo dope they're light weight adn sooo warm....i heard all this hype about spks so i grabbed a pair...and they don't even compare to the full tilts...they're baout 10 times heavier and the toe box is more like an ice box.....i was out yesterday riding for a few runs i think it was -20 w/windchill and i would have to say in the full tilts my feet were the warmest things on my body...give um i try if they feel good on your feet

i ride them, and i love em.  I ride at snowtrails.     they are super soft, but they are stiffer than the invaders, it even says so on the line site, everyone says they are just fatter, but thats not true.

the chronics are stiff and nice in pow they handle so good and also on the snow, but they are stiff and they are great in the park.

I have them mounted with Saloman Z12 ti w/ 85mm brake
And a Pair Of 08 invaders same binding

no where near as soft as i thought they would be, and they carve awesome.    Perfect park ski.
