i personally hated them and i thought they were way too stiff and felt more like an all-mountain ski than one for park. but i ride anthems, so...

I think the Dumont is one of the best park skis for sure.

I would say the next comparable ski could be thrusters.

I demoed a pair at Windells, I found them pretty light and flexy. Good on jumps, not great on rails

They could have a ton of swing weight, or just lots of overall weight. Maybe.

actually it isnt.the thruster has a wood core rapped in foam,dumont is pure wood.and if i didnt know any better i would say that the dumont has a different topsheet for sure.i saw way more chips in the dumont then thruster, and the thruster is like shiny

not sure what your talking about...i was just saying how (i think) next years 10th anniversary teneighty is the same ski as the 07/08 dumonts with a different topsheet. they have the same dimensions, and the 09 site says they have a woodcore so i'm assuming it's not the thruster.
