I rode my brothers scratch bcs years ago and i loved how stable they felt and how flexible they were. Was wondering how they compare.

Im open to other suggestions too. I want a light, noodly flexible ski that is really easy on sw takeoffs.

any suggestions appreciated.

afterbangs are the way to go. i love riding other peoples afterbangs, they are really light and poppy. very good for learning switch tricks. someone on ns would have a cheap pair

kinks are better than the rossis. just make sure you measure center.

Id go 2-4cm back so if you change your boot flex it wont throw your ski off

If you have a boot with a soft flex/tongue and you take a hard landing, on a center or just off centered mount, it can throw you forward. I use a stiff tongue, but I mounted so if I decide to use a softer boot it won't throw me forward.

What the hell are you talking about? Sounds like a personal problem.

affects moree people than you'd think. talked to a bunch of people that agree. do whatevers best for you, im pretty equal between freeski, park and trees throughout the day, and im between steeps and teaching on the carpets. much different than skiing park all day where one flex/boot will do ya well.
