chronics are stiffer, both are great skis. I would go with the chrons b/c they hold edge good on ice.

"which would hold a good edge on rails"

I dont know what you mean by this. The chronics will last longer from rails due to lines fatty base and edge. I like the fs due to its softer flex. but the chronic is great. I think chron will be more durable and better in pipe. The fs will be great also. But Chronics get my vote. Which is cheaper?

ya chronics do sound nice but i didnt want anything real stiff for me cause my assassin mtx's seem like they have a simalar flex to the chronic..so how much stiffer is the chronic than the scratch fs.

i found these new kind of mounting spots that r hidden
what u do is duct tape ur shoes, not boots, to the skis and ride away
may i sugest 20cm away from true center

yeh just tell them to mount em at suggested spot, thats what the ski was designed for...if u change where the bindings are compared to were it is suggested yo mount em, u will get a diff. response while skiing...i got them to mount mine a suggested area last season andthey are so amazingly siick its unreal
