i would tend to agree. quality wise you simply can't beat a sick handmade ski company (i can speak for praxis as the most badass ski durability and construction wise i've encountered). if you want a slarvy, surfy, charging ski, get the praxis pows. i don't think i will ever own a better ski.
buuuuuuut, i fucking searched through all of the rockered skis, and the bents/eps are perfect for what they're designed for, and have the MOST rocker (more butterability, playful). the bibbys are designed with less rocker to be more versitile. i know tons of kids on NS are just going to get bents/eps cause they see them in idea, but they really are the best tools for pow jibbing/buttering. not for charging, but for getting all ideaed out and trying new things...perfect
