but it is a repost.

thinking about the step ups in 184

I fucking hated the Step Ups. I demoed them back in February.

^ What were their pros and cons?

THREADS

I really couldn't be happier with the way they came out. A true 184 (just a touch shorter than my 186 Prophets) they are super snappy and stable, they have a chronic flex profile with a good progressive flex to it. I miss the vertical sidewalls and non-centered mounting point of the chronic, but you can't win them all. Overall, killer price conscious park ski, with solid durability, although not above average.

For the same price, consider the Surface Nine Life, similar price and flex, just vertical sidewalled and not centered (I'm getting burnt out on centered skis, i want something designed around a -2.5 mounting point) as well as the Atomic Patent. The new patent is sex, a pair are being held in limbo for me for the start of the season. It's a bit more, but its everything the anthem should have been, a little stiffer and supportive, longer, sidewalled and kills the whole mountain.

Hope that answers your question, and ones you didn't have. I've tried to ski everything this year, and got pretty close. I'm a bit biased, working for Line, but yanno, I try to be straightforward. I am looking to open a new shop, and give up the current gig, so trying to get a better handle on the value stuff out there.

I love my anthems because they're so soft. Short enough, at 178 to always be easily on top of them and a perfect park/jib orientated ski only, being centre mounted and with symmetrical sidecut and flex.

legit review and opinion. Thanks for this.

worthless post

not worthless post.

if your gonna say something sucks, give a reason.

unless it is so obviously dumb that no one would need an explanation for how shitty it is.
