they more than live up...they softened them up, wrapped the edge around the tail and changed the top sheet...they are sick

they're dope.
the design, you can tell even simply by LOOKING at them, they're such big boards, and they're fucking bombproof.

My friend road em today with us and he wasnt too impressed. The overall design did not seem that great, super fat skis, I bet they would rip in pow but they dont seem like that great of an idea for park riding. They appear to be nearly center-mounted. They are so similar to the very fist line 1260's.

erich.....all you told me was design info and all anyone else told me was that they look cool. i'm interested in how they actually ride and if they're experiencing any problems and duncan was the only one who who even came close. you ride for them tell me how they actually ski - and no propaganda either

if they sucked, i wouldn't say anything...id hide in the closet and cry...they are a sick ride, FOR ME...i have never been that comfortable on a ski in my life...they are really stable, but still forgiving enough not to break your leg...i've only ridden them twice, and so far no negatives...they are sick on rails becuase they are wide and pretty stiff, so they don't bounce around a lot...for jumping they are sick too...didnt hit anythign that big, but the twip tip is perfect for switch...you can butter them too, maybe not as easily as a line of lbf, but you can butter and ollie none the less...for powder they float very nicely and handle well in chop...the footprint is nice and big for landing drops, but once again i havent done anythign big yet on them...there's a review for the msp 180.

Oh yea dont get me wrong, I didnt ride them myself, I was just trying to relay some form of information to help answer your question. My friend works at First Run and demos all the new shit so he generally knows what he is talking about.

anyone wanna trade a pair of 175 tms for a pair of 180 4frnts? I havnt ridden them but my style of skiing is going fast and huge. personally i wouldnt miss not being able to butter them, i just want a ski that rails down the mountein and doesnt wash out when landing a 90 footer. im sure alot of east coast skiiers wont like them at first becasue they are radically different then what most east coasters are used to.

yea, First Run Ski Shop, Stratton Vt. has them in demo, so come on in and take them for a spin. Ok ski, just a little ruff on fridays (pre storm) conditions. But during and after the storm they ripped. just were we mounted the demo is set up for optimal switch riding which makes for a sketchy freeride stance. but overall a pretty nice ski. Smoked a rock at about 30 mph and put a little scratch in the bases, something that more then likely would have core shotted any other ski, so bases hold up well. Topsheets look like they will chip just a little, but not bad at all. stiff tail is nice to. come in, try try try! I can get some pics up later this week, they diffinitly look good.
