Does anyone ride the kung fujas?

I have to admit, the ski seems pretty slick--but are there any pros that actually ride these skis? It seems to me that they've just updated the old seths with a new sidecut. Is it as all-around awesome as it claims to be, or are the kung fujas just a marketing gimmick that K2 busted out in order to hop on the bandwagon with their own "one quiver ski?"
 
the obSETHs got too fat so i think they needed a more park oriented ski to fill the gap. i'm stoked cause they come in 189 too. my friend just got some for christmas so if i get a chance to ride them i'll post. they seemed really soft when i flexed them.
 
i'd be all over em as my park ski if i lived out west, but since i'm in PA, i ride the disorderly. the flex of the kung fujas is basically the fujative, but they gave it a urethane sidewall, so it skis all mountain better. seems like its got a bit more sidecut too. i haven't skied them, but they seem like they'd be super fun.
 
they are awesome, and definatly a really really good park ski. they are light for their size, and easy to whip around, i can do 270's on to stuff just as easily as anything else, theres a little more noticable weight, but not much. for flex they arent as soft as people think, its more of a medium flex, it can butter and ollie awesome, but definatly not close to as soft as invaders. and they are super stable for jumps. its one of my favorite skis ive owned, and my favorite jump ski. when i was in the shop i was comparing the size to other skis, and the 179 was longer than other companies 182's and 183's. so its really around like 184, meaning a 189 would be like a 194 which is huge, the 189 was actually longer than a couple 190ish pow skis, so they are really long, and with the width you dont really need the length. but i could imagine the 189 would be really fun for jumps.
 
k2 runs huge...
i've noticed that with hellbents as well as a couple other models. i asked a tech guy and he said that they do run big.
 
lets get this thread back up...I just bought some 189s. Anyone loving/regretting where they mounted them? If so where? Im thinkin straight up thuggin center
 
yea i have a pair and they are absolutely insane. they can do anything and everything. float in pow, carve on the groomers, shred park, and are very soft, which makes for excellent butterin ability. probably the most legit all mountain ski on the market. if you have a chance to demo them definitely do it. you will not regret it.
