Some of you kids are rediculous.
When this thread was made SIX MONTHS ago, I posted to 4 different threads about A-Bangs ALL on the front page.
The OP was too lazy to even regard looking for an answer and instead decided to clutter up our message board with another useless a-bang thread.
That said, stay tuned for a first hand review.
I have wrecked the shit out of my a-bangs this past season and they keep coming back for more.
not a single edge crack, and they feel just as heavy as the day I bought them.
This whole "water-logged" deal is just a wives tale imo.
The bases heald up great aside from being slammed into rocks, tree stumps, dirt, and rails. Not a single core shot.
the top sheet can splinter, but just be sure to take a fine grit sandpaper and rub over the rough spots after using - problem solved.
The tips also rockered a little - mainly because I enjoy stressing them (nose blocks, butters, nollies, etc).
But it doesn't effect the performance - mainly just makes them more fun.
The bases were by no means slow. In fact - they heald up with any other park ski great.
Just make sure to wax on the regular (I did mine every other time).
Total I have about 23 days on 'em.
I'll be using mine well into the 12/13 ski season. Super fun buttery ski that still holds an edge well enough to enjoy the whole mountain.
HIGHLY recommend.
