Anyone know the flex patterns on them. Or just past opinions? For Michigan small hill park

It's in that review.

And for shaggy skis, from another thread: "I demo'ed their really fat powder skis at Mount Bohemia and it was a rather miserable time. Way stiff for pow skis and there was zero rocker. The tips were nearly flat to the ground and dug into moguls because the skis didn't flex and absorb bumps. Maybe their other models are slightly better, but don't get your hopes up."

Tbh unless you've demoed these shaggy skis, I'd stay away. No real reviews I can find but it appears people like riding them. Any reason for desiring this particular brand? Local pride? Graphics? Weird name? Regardless, none are good enough reasons in my book to care twice about them.

I would assume just Michigan pride & wanting to be on a pair of sticks made in the homestate. They’re way outta my price range for park skis personally

Going to college in Michigan and found it so just curious about it

Yeah i want to demo. Reasoning is going to college in Michigan so they’re somewhat local

For small hill park just cop some of last year's poachers. Dirt cheap and will take a beating.

How stiff are they? I want something pretty playful
 
I ride the Allplay and it’s the best ski I’ve ever had. J ski is trust worthy and it’s great for a smooth butter.
 
Umich, thanks everyone. Tried surface and they’re 2x4’s so I’ll go with the trusted all play
 
Can't speak for Shaggy's but i rode the All Plays for about half of last season and I loved them, I own 4 other pairs of skis from park skis (Dollos) to powder skis (blogs) and once I got on the All Plays the rest of my skis collected dust. Even on days where we got a foot of snow and though id wanna ride my blogs I still rode the All Plays. Super fun in the park and all over the mountain. Plus the customer service was as top notch as it gets.

The All Plays tails are pretty soft not vishnu soft but IMO about the perfect tail flex where you can really press and butter them but not soft enough to wash out if you don't land bolts every time. Noses are a little more firm not by much but enough where they don't feel unstable at high speeds.

Boo yah! Thanks a ton for spreading the stoke. That was definitely our goal with the Allplay so very stoked to hear it's working out for you how we designed it.

For the flex, we build our skis with a "deep" flex pattern which means it flexes more underfoot than in the tips and tails (see: Blend). What this gives you is super good grip when you're on edge and the ability to pop out of butters. There's no standardized unit of flex in skiing but the Allplay is definitely up there on the softer side of the list, it's just flexes in different places than a lot of other skis which allows it to maintain all-mountain performance alongside it's buttery capabilities.
