I like the design concept of the antigen but almost noone has talked about riding them. Any opinions out there?
also not sure what size to go with... 5'10, 170lbs, mostly for park and also freeriding on non-pow days. My ideal size would be around 180 so im not so stoked on the sizes being 176 or 184. any idea whether liberty measures short or long?

They definetly run shorter. i got the 176 and they mesure 174 in real. go with the 184. They perform great in the park (as well on the jump or rail) but i found out that the edge are bit thin. i already get through them in like 20 -25days at most on em. They are absolutetly crazy light due the the bamboo core, i got them mount with some fks and they are still ligter that my friend's press with squire. The bamboo core have a totaally diferent feeling from any other skis i ever tried so i can't even tell if they are on the softer side or harder. The combinaison of the bamboo flex and the rocker make them pretty playfull and butterry but the snap-back is incredible they have like so much pop ! Also make them forgiving in those sketchy landing without being noodles or snapping your ACL. The cosmetic dont chip too easily even if i really don't care about that point itM's a plus.
On-piste, they hold a great edge (when i still have some)but with a kinda big radius for a non-powder skis they can be a little boring if you're running the bunny hills. you either have to go fast or bring to some softer snow.
Althought they are not a powder skis for us in the Ice coast they do the job for the few 1 feet storm we got a year ahaha.
