I've been checking these out online a lot lately and have been thinking about picking up a pair but can't find a review of them anywhere. Anybody had the chance to ride these? I need a ski that can slay everything in the park but also can hold up on the groomers and occasionally hit some urban features. Does this sound like the right kinda ski for this? Or if not does anyone know any that can? I've been on AR7s for a while but I've outgrown them and kinda want to switch it up a little

it's the same ski as the recoil, look for reviews on them.
I've done a few laps on them but no more. Fairly stiff by my standards but I'm used to softer skis, probably comparable to the AR7 (when they are new). Carve nicely, the minimal rocker makes turn initiation a little easier. Pretty poppy, not the lightest but fine. I didn't love or loathe them but not really my kind of ski anyway.

The Iron Maiden is just the Revival with the Maiden graphic. It is a stiffer park ski. Designed to ski the whole mountain not just park. One of the more versatile park skis out there. It is a little heavier which also gives it the versatility at speed over many freestyle skis. Good all around All Mountain/Freestlye Ski.
