what is better for pure park? i had the all white stl's and i loved them, but how much did they change them since then? they seem stiffer and heavier, and in freeskier they said they were heavy, which is wierd cause the white ones were crazy light, and i dont like heavy skis.
are tnk's kinda taking the stl's place for pure park? how are tnks vs. stls in the park?

The tnk has more of a symentrical sidecut than the stl, its also is supposed to be stiffer.                   I'm considering the tnk as park/all mountain ski.  Somebody whos ridden them, can u tell me what they are like?

are you retarded? i think so.  ok, but the tnk is 4frnt's more park/pipe ski.  it has a ton of pop and is way fun.  the stl is more of an all mountain sidecut but is awesome in the park as well.  the stl does get really noodley after a season tho.  just your preference

OMG......... are you serious??? if you get the chance, ride both for a few runs, i found that it takes a few runs to get used to the STL but with the TNK you can ski it how you want and any way you want. it skis how a ski should ski. its the ultimate park ski and all around ski!  i have NEVER EVER skied a ski like this!

lets see had the 05 stl's the top sheet will be gone your first day out gruaranteed!  the whole tip of the then ski delamintaed...thats fun a talking ski who doesnt want that right?  Sent them back was impressed with the warranty...  Got the 07 STL's first day on them top sheet non-existant, they had 3 edge crack the first week oh and then, in breck going about 40 and ollie 180'ed a big roller next to the mercury chair (lots of fun) oh man landed fakie fucking binding pulled right out...  "sorry man we already replaced em once"  The top sheet is a joke its weak and chips of in what seems like square feet at a time the side walls are just such cheap material i hate that fucking company and want nothing more than to warn peopel to not have to deal with what i did....

thats all

FUCK 4FRNT

have a nice day!

well all skis have the topsheets get chipped.  as for the delam you are one out of like 5 people that warrantied skis with them last year so stop complaining.  and as for the binding pulling out, thats not the ski's fault, its whoever mounted it

stl's aren't as bad as evryone is puutin them out to be--at least 07's....they are supeer light and have a nice bend in them...stiff middle--softer tail.....the only bad thing i've seen is that tey do chip pretty easily--kind'ov chip like cardboard or something--but on rails, jumps--stls hold their ground...i've never skied the tnks so i don't know how they compare
