id probably get them mounted near the recomended "jon olson" point, damn near centre, would this affect there "heavyness" or whatever as it would have a balanced swing weight, and how heavy xactly are they, is it noticable when grabbing in spins etc.

They are bomb proof as hell, I've heard of em falling off car racks at 60mph and being just fine, but they are very stiff. If you are a lighter person or have weak leg muscles I wouldnt recomend them based on what I've heard about them from other people. They would be a good ski for park if you could work them around eneough with the stiff flex pattern.

they're decently stiff, but you can break them in a little, they're not really heavy like people say, but heavier than some pure park skis. also durable as fuck. they have low swing weight tho if you mount at JO's recommended, so that's not an issue
