fujis are softer, but if you know the basics of buttering (its all just throwing your weight around) you shouldnt have any trouble with PE's

a little bit of everything, cause of course theres not powder at least 50% of the time I'm up at my hill, and I've been riding head mojos which are soo stiff and hard to butter with (+ I havent really practiced enough)
But public enemies will be alot softer that the Heads anyways I'm thinkin??

yeah, but they're still pretty stiff. i have the 04/05's, so they're a little skinnier than the new ones. with a little practice, you can butter them easy.

if you get the fujis you'll pretty much not even have to try to butter since their so soft. all you gotta do is lean a little back or forward and the tips/tails will just lift up and you just turn you body. Super easy. PE's will be better for All mountain but are sorta siff.
Next years silencers look nice casue their low profile and seem good for buttering and all mounatin.

i've never ridden them, but i've heard from people who ride them that when center mounted they ride like a dream all mountain. you'll have to ask people who ride them.

i dont lioke p.e. they felt dead in the park to me, they are pretty heavy and they are hard to throw around on spins, it was almost impossible to butter

thanks for the feedback dudes but one more question is what happens if you land pretty far backseat with fujis on medium tables and such, they wouldnt break would they?

not sure, i highly doubt that they would break, but i know from experience that if you land backseat with PE's they've got enough stiffness in the tail to pick you up.

They won't break but if you land backseat they washout and you fall onto your back. I own a pair of fujatives and I highly recommend the public enemy. They will seem heavy at first but you get used to them.
