Anyone ever ride them? Yet to see much feedback about them, more specifically their park skis.

I've spent a decent amount of time with both the Wednesday and Kennedy. They remind me of early generation Armada's (AR5, ARV) that are super durable. I won't go out and say they are the most amazing skis I have ever been on but they are both super solid, very poppy thanks to huge amounts of camber, and very predictable skis.
Kennedy - Tons of pop and a low overall swing weight. The flex is pretty well balanced to the center of the ski and they ski well center mounted. I would called the Kennedy more of a jump and pipe ski due to the aggressive camber and flex just on the high side of medium. Nothing outlandishly special but a strong performer and a good choice if you want something a little different.
Wednesday - I prefer the Wednesday to the Kennedy, it reminds me so much of my 1st generation ARV and I loved that ski til the day it died. 92 underfoot means it is just fine for park riding and a bit more versatile everywhere else. Like the Kennedy it is super poppy and has a rather aggressive amount of camber. The big difference here is the Wednesday has a more directional feel to it, so if you want to center mount or a pure park ski the Kennedy is better. However, as a result the Wednesday can rail carves and is strong on jumps and in the pipe. It is a very calm and rather dull ski at low speeds so if you are feeling lazy it won't make you work but it shines when you push through it rewarding you with huge pop and is very smooth at speed.
