For 170 dollars just get them man. Next years arent going to be much better, theyre still going to be a cheap ski so I'd go for it and get AR6's or chronic wides next year if you can afford them for proper skiing and jibbing. The invader is a good second ski for jibbing and spring conditions.
sry but not everyones rich enough to afford 2 pairs of skis like you. especially when the other pair are ar6's or something else in the 500 dollar range. 170 bucks sounds sick dude, even if they delam Lines warranty is usually pretty honest, you should have no worries
yea cause the delam doesnt effect your skking.plus im a little light ridder thats not goin to destroy them.and i would rather get this years cause i like the graphic more and there not goin to be a hole change bewtween the invaders this year and next.
either way you'll be happy, but if u get this years invaders they will delam after about 2-3 weeks, but that 2-3 weeks will be the best rides you will ever get.
