 what up,

I started skiing this year after a move to vermont not like you care, but i got pretty good at it a friend introduced me to park skiing and i started as anyone would on the box and then i got good with rails and jumps. I used pretty crappy skis and I am looking for a good park ski but also one for glades and the regular slopes. I talked to friends about it, they said the invader is good but is super flexy and on getboards.com they only cost 179.00 so it would be good economicaly so I just want your input on the ski.

you can't go wrong with invaders but if you're planning on using them in glades for powder you might wanna consider a stiffer ski.

I know, I was thinking the same thing.  I expected a lot of "searchbar" and so far there's been none.  And ski season is over (for some).  Dayum, I never thought that I would see this happen.

people's love for the invader > summer madness. i guess people just really love line. btw invaders will be OK for glades, but it might be difficult to ski trees with a center mount, especially if ur new to the sport. look into armada el rey's. theyre a little more expensive but they are more of an all mountain ski that also have a good rep in the park

i have mine flip mounted and they have a symetrical flex...... its just you break your tips in more than your tails so the tips (however there mounted) will end up softer

THIS PUNK ASS NUAKKA IS TELLING THE TRUTH. I WAS WITH HIM HITTIN THA SAME JUMPS ON MY VADERS OF THE SAME LENGHT........



ITS NOT THE SKI ITS THE SKIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU ARE GOOD YOU CAN TAKE ANY SKI OFF ANY JUMP, I HAVE DONE 70+ FEET ON ICE WITH MY BENTS AND THEY WERE FINE A LITTLE SOFT ON THE LANDING. SO SHUT UP ABOUT SKIS ON JUMPS!!!!!!!!!

if you plan on using them everywhere get something else
i have anthems and they work in all conditions if you know how to ski well, but its not as fun
i just added blends to my quiver for next season and im making my anthems crap day/park day ski only.

i just looked at the armada el rey's and it seems that they are a little bit more expensive but they seem like a better ski. Can anyone compare the invaders to el reys?
