they are sopposed to be quite durable, and with the way they are made allows the ski to have flex point right in front of the tow piece and right behind the heel piece. Whereas a normal ski flexes more towards the mid point of the tip and tail. Ive ridden them and what they say about the flex it true.

it means (from reading the reviews) i think, that they have taken away the core and sandwiched 7 layers of maple wood together similar to a skate board then put edges, carbon strings (for ollies) and graphics on.

OK, I'm from Australia and I can comment on how they actually perform.

Aeshetically and Cosmeticaly the top sheet will not chip because of the construction. Performance wise the skis are verry poppy and can basically handle any rail. There very park oriantated and I wouldn't reccomend skiing them aywhere else, it's for the type of person who stays in the park the whole day.

I'm going to write a review on them after my season is finished.
