I was wondering if some of you could help me decide. And if you say I should get one or the other please have actually ridden it (not your cousin's aunt's dog and he said they were fuckin sweet SO BUY EM!!!)

Or are they kind of the same?

i have the scratch fs. my sis rides the mad trix. they are each a rockin ski, although for park i'd say mine are better. for everything outsaide of park, hands down its the madtrix. so its all a matter of priorities.

Mad Trix, no doubt at all in my mind. Great park ski, and probabaly best all mtn twin.





Well, it goes like this. It was the middle of the day, it was very hot out, and I had to piss. So i did.

I have the mad trix and they are good for most everything they suck on ice and deep pow. my friend had the fs and riped the heelpiece out. the only thing i dont like about the fs is their core. he got a new pair for like nothing.

Mad_Trix (I have the black and white ones) are stiff and heavy. They will plow throw all kinds of rough snow conditions and grip pretty well on ice. The faster you go, the better they feel under your feet.

They are not ideal for light craptastic park riders like myself, I stick to my Concepts for that. But if you can handle them, they should be pretty awesome.

Mad trix, i got them last year.
heavy= stability in the air
stiff= you can ride fast all around the mountain, and they absolutely kill it in big G.S. turns, speed is their friend.
but these are NOT INTERMEDIATE skis, experts only, they do not forgive, they will eat you up alive if you can't handle them.
and I like them a lot going switch.

i thought the mad-trix were a good ski, durable, but they don't seem to alow you and freedom. I would recomend going for a 4frnt or line ski

they're both awesome so get the mad trix to be different - less people have them.

Pretty much the same? They're like polar opposites. I've owned both... FS is better in the park, especially jibbing (I don't like all that weight on rails, personally), but the Heads are a better all mountain ski, for sure. Depends if you want stiffness and durability or a lightweight soft ski. Hell, get both.

If u get any head ski, u get 6 free days on any other head ski. Madtrix are alot stiffer, i think they might be the stiffest twin tip
