Well, they aren't a park ski, but you can definately ride them in the park if you want to.

Big, pretty fun, stiffer than most park skis. I enjoyed them my short time riding them.

They are soft IMO. Very light too. I think if I dont get new skis this year I will use my MSP's for park

The 180 MSP is a legit park ski once it breaks in. An MSP on the wall in a store is way stiffer than one with 10 days on it, that is something you must consider.

True that. I demoed a brand new pair of 180's and then rode a season-ridden pair of 180's. Large difference.

they are my dream ski. I wish i was like 6 feet tall, so i could get the 180 for park and the 187 for all around.

Yes i would have two of the same ski, because they rock so much.

If you buy mine you get 6 feet tall and get Scratch 140's on them.
1500$ you pay shipping, for these magic skis.
Good deal huh?

i've broken two pairs on one season, and neither time was even in the park. the tips basically folded in half on me. the skis are light for their size and have a lot of pop, but i like my invaders a lot better for park riding. i'm not all to pleased with 4frnt after breaking two pairs in one season and then not having my skis for whistler when the ski never should have broken in the first place.

well, you see, thats the funny part. mine were conveniently out of warrenty, after 4frnt changed their warrenty, that used to be one of the best in the industry. the first time, they hooked me up with a new ski to replace the broken one for $50. not a bad deal, considering they were out of warrenty. the second time, they offered me a pair of 3 year old MSPs for wholesale price. to most people, that might seem like a deal. however, i work in a shop, and have access to a wide variety of skis at a discount. i didnt buy the MSPs through my shop though. i felt that strongly about the ski and what 4frnt was all about back then that i paid retail price for them from another shop, which they knew. why would i pay wholesale for a pair of skis that i've had terrible luck with when i could get a better ski from a company that will back their product for less money? sorry 4frnt, i'm bitter.

their old shit breaks everyone knows that. The new Option built MSPs are way more solid than the old stuff. That's what you get for supporting a startup, everyones shit sucks at first.

Ninthwards from the first production run at 5Axis (where 4frnt used to build their skis) have all fallen appart too.

from what i've heard the they were having more problems with the STLs from the new factory, but it always seems that small companies have some problems wwhen they movie into new factories, i mean look at the invaders.

Can anyone confirm/deny? Thinking of 183 STLs for my park skisnext year and I'm pretty hard on my gear. Alternatives are Sprayer BCs, ARVs or Karmas.

To whoever commented ^ about Option, you have it wrong...The ones built in option are the least durable ones made. The ones built in california, and the ones built after 4frnt switched are very durable.
