We did some product development testing on the pro skis this past weekend to see how much abuse they could take. Even set it them up on the Price point frame to see if it could endure the constant strain of jumping, turning, and sliding over rocks/debris/jibs/boxes...The guys testing the products loved them!! I see how people can share a difference of opinion, But don’t take someone else’s word for it. Try it first... Then tell us what piece of crap it is. ps- Pow was no problem!!
