they still do its just the Traveling Circus now.

I would go anthems over Abang out of those. The abang construction is heavy and the bases are extremely slow.

Why not look into something else besides the two? I personally don't have much trust with cap construction (anthems).

They are. other person was wrong.
If i was making the choice I would go with anthems/TCs or invaders. From what I have seen the durability is better on them. (excluding original invaders)

Derp your right. Anthems are pretty much the same besides the bigger waist.

they dont make the invaders any more necessarily. the ski they still currently make that is closest to what an invader was like is the mastermind. however invaders were a symmetrical twin and the masterminds are directional. if you're trying to compare the afterbang to the traveling circus (formerly known as the anthem) then there are a lot of differences. afterbang is obviously skate deck construction, 7 ply progressively shorter strands of wood with a carbon ollie band, giving the ski some pop. afterbangs and tc's are both symmetrical twins. afterbangs tend to delaminate especially in the nose however. if you're out there in the park all day long 110% of the time every time, then go with afterbangs. if you're wanting something a little more all mountain with a much wider platform, then go with the tc's. I have ridden both and like the tc's much better.

ok everyone i know they don't make the invader any more. i just want to know the difference between the invader and the abang, not the anthem or what other ski i should get. (not trying to be an ass)

Basically which is softer?!
