So ive seen not necessarily hate on honey badgers but comments about them being cheap and not durable and overall just that there are better options out there. While I'm sure that there is truth to this, I just wanted to put my opinion out there on the honey badgers for anyone that maybe is in a similar position to me (still learning simple tricks i.e. 360, sliding unnaturally, front 270 out of rails). I have been skiing my 18-19 honey badgers a lot the past two weeks, putting more hours on them than ever before, and I can't imagine a better ski to learn on. The honey badgers are light, their flex is inducive to learning how to ollie onto features and to learning how to butter, and they are cheap.

TL;DR - if you arent putting these things through the gauntlet, they are a great first option as a park ski as they are light, flexy, and cheap
 
My buddy has some honey badgers and he destroyed them pretty fast but like you saying the seem like a good intro to park ski to learn the fundamentals with breaking the bank
 
Honey badgers are great for what they are

super fun ski to beat the shit out of

its no wonder loads of the line guys like khai krepela and Tucker Fitz Simmons ride em
 
My friend on his second day skiing them fucked up the nose when he didn't pop high enough to get onto the feature. I doubt other more well made skis would do the same but at least the honey badgers are cheap.
 
Honey badgers were my first park ski and they lasted me like 60 days before I retired them to the summer setup so I would say definitely not terrible durability wise. Also I pretty fun and light ski making it good for learning
 
I’ve skied my honey badgers probably 7-10 days and they already have some chipping, I love how playful they are but so far they don’t seem to be holding up very well. But I would still recommend these skis, because the way I see it is that I could buy one pair of line blends and have them last a little longer , or I could buy 2 pairs of honey badgers.
 
I’ve had the honey badgers for about 2 seasons, super flexible, great pop, good width, and they’re actually pretty durable. I ski pretty rough in the park and I’m just starting to delaminate, great ski for the price
