I'm not much of a help here
I haven't yet ridden them, but I got mine on friday, so sick. Good flex,I forget the other stuff, sorry.
The shop manager that I ride for demoed them and said it was the best switch he's ever done.

Yea, so I geuss I'm not that much of a help. I can't even remember how they flex

from what i know they are an all mountain fatter ski, with freestyle geometry... they are stiffer than the lizzys and look really good for all around stuff... good all around ski and look really durable
seem like a good choice

I know, I fail. stoked for the ski though
The topsheet is truly art, you have to see it. I dont want to mount them at all. The graphic is just the art, no writing or anything. No "Line" or stuff like that.

i always hate the idea of putting bindings on dope looking skis and same with putting trucks on a dope skate deck. i feel ya. enjoy your skis, i don't know anything about them except that they work well for both backcountry and park i believe (hence the name).

new blends = dope. flex is similar to the chronics, medium. uuber-bomber construction, like double thickness base and edge, and like triple thickness sidewall. graphic is beautiful. as an all mountain ski, i think its perfect. im super stoked for em this year.

i wouldnt say its perfect for jibbing, because of the size, but if you're looking for a crossover ski, id pull the trigger in like a second.

I posted the pics on my pics.
And I feel dumb for just showing the blends and not really knowing anything about them

I got mine last season and its definitely a dope ski all over the mountain, pretty good in pow, but in the park I definitely prefer my invaders.

They were completely redesigned from past Blend models so any opinions on the 06/07 or 07/08 models wont be of any use to you.
