i am planning on buying these skis off d-structure in 175, cuz they are very cheap right now. I searchbarred but could not find specific info about these skis. I want to know:
Are they durable?
Are they somewhat lightweight?
Are they poppy?
How is the flex?
Are they fast?
+K for all good answers

my friend has some, and they were pretty heavy when i put my boot in them. (his skinny 165's didn't seem THAT much less heavy than my fat 174 extremes)

also, the top sheet chipped like a motherfucker

What about clicks? Because i can get a pair of 09/10 ones for the same price as this years tnks. Which would be better?

The TNK is a much better ski than the click, it is the next step up from their lineup with better construction and only a handful of people have had issues with them, newschoolers is just a bunch of chatty cathy's

TNK's and Click's aren't even comparable, and neither have a record of durability.

TNK's are fast, stiff-ish, and awesome. Until they break, delam, chip, have the edge rip out, or one of the other 100 things that always seem to go wrong with these skis. I had 2 pair that delamed within a week. Pathetic quality for a park ski. Click's are similar in durability.

Bottom line: These skis are always cheap and on sale at the end of the year. It's because no one wants them, and 4FRNT isn't exactly the most awesome company to deal with when they break. They've done some shitty things in the past....


If you want park skis, look elsewhere because only 4FRNT's big mountain stuff is worth your time.
