I love mine, im getting into more park more, and these things are sick super poppy and the wider underfoot helps you grab onto rails, as far as all moutain they not that bad they do ok in a little bit of powder and can deal with the crud, but defineatly there best in the park

i have used mine 3 days in Hafjell, Norway 2 days in Sandefjord, Norway doing urbans and shit. they are fucking awesome!! Landing sw in the beginning was kinda hard cause they are so soft, but that is something you'll get used to. doing butters is so easy with this ski. I LOVE THEM

my friend has a pair, they kill it in the park but he said he was disappointed by its all mountain performance... however, you could do a lot worse in terms of all mountain performance for a true park ski

I have the griffon 12 bindings. super pleased with that setup! Heard the px 12 isn't that good, my friend as those and he ain't that happy with it so i went for the griffons and im super pleased.

I've liked my skis a lot, mounted in centre. How is your skis durability with edges and stuff, because mines  ripping of the wood cause just a little bang wheni was getting on the rail. Anyone seen like this before?

^Everyone's topsheets are chipping on the Afterbangs including mine.  Don't worry about it, it is purely cosmetic and will not affect the ski.

ok so i just got some 177 bangs with px12's and personally i love them,
super poppy and fun on rails, so light compared to my older skis that i spin them like nothing,
i think there stiffer than i expected but butter amazing, they definitely hold their own outside of the park (obviously not gonna beat a stiffer ski) personally i have no problems landing switch. overall they are super fun and great if your looking for a park only ski
 
as for top sheet chipping, its only the top sheet wont effect riding therefore who cares

Looks like the core cracked between layers and is separating, near an edge ding.  Not topsheet chips.
