if you dont need the extra speed and stiffness tho then your better off with alpha 2s, and imo they look better and are more fun

stiff. but you can stomp everything so hard with them, deff not a buttery ski. if you hit jumps get em.

To all of you who wrote "stiff", haha.. they are not stiff.. but they are just not as flexible as the invaders.. Head skiis are stiff.. not alphas! haha

The alpha 2 is muuuch softer and perfect for butters and jibbs, The alpha 1 is more of a ski for skiing really fast and hit big jumps, since it's stiffer it is easyer to land huge airs with them.

Ive got both the alpha 1 and the alpha 2 and they are the best skiiis i have ever used, no doubt.. and yeah iv'e tried a loods of different skiis!

Hopefully you will find som solid skiis for next year! good luck!
