Does anyone know about the quality of these skis? the graphics are sweet and the prices are low so id like to know if anyone has any feedback for a park skier.

What I've heard is that they're basically Icelantic skis, which are pretty quality. Hope that helps.

There Icelantics with d-structure graphics on them. Supposed to be really good skis as far as I heard never ridden them though.

Same ski as the Da'Nollie, im pretty sure. Same skis Leigh Powis uses.

Would it have killed you to read whats on d-structure or use google perhaps?

what's the flex like? real poppy or what? they look sick, and i know i just got new skis last season but if those are any good i might have to go for it cause they're gnarly

i've heard they're pretty good quality.  but i also heard that next year's icelantics will be even better performance-wise
they're definitely legit

having actually seen them in the shop, and flexed them out... they are truely just icelantics with different topsheets and base graphics.

they are pretty basic... relatively light, with a medium-stiff flex, depending on the model (the wider they are, the stiffer they were, if my memory serves me straight)

basically, they are solid quality, and they look pretty damn sick IMO.

the da nollie rides really similarly to the invader, just a lil bit stiffer.

fun skis, kinda squirrely for my liking

you've never had skis that didn't hold well at speed?
