I can't decide whether or not to get the Darksides ('01-'02) or the Scratches (either FS or BC. Any one know the benefits of one vs. the other?

Im not claiming to know everything about these skis, but i know the fs was made mostly for park. the bc was made for mostly for back country. The darkside was made for both. So its really where u wanna go on the mountain, cause theyre all good skis.

what about center-mounting the darksides? Will that fuck up the all-mountain capabilities it has?

it isnt center mounted. and if you get scratches and ride them hard they wont be intact by the end of the season

lineskiers wrong. they had some problems at the beginning but they are bomb proof now. Even if you do manage to break em. They will be warrantied quick. If your gonna be riding all mountain the darkside is a super good. ski. Or get this years EP pro. Its gonna be dope. But for a park ski the FS is really good. and for a backcountry ski, there is nothign better than the scratch BC. so take you pick. I wouldn't buy till in october, or after christmas. Wait to see the new K2s they are really cool, or Armamdas they are gonna be amazing. so hold tight before you buy your skis and check out some of the othe companies.

i didnt say anything about their warrenty, people bash line cause there skis would brake even though there warrenty was amazing. and if they do replace them, which they probably will, you still have to go 6-8 weeks without skis
