has anybody ridden them and know how they ride and how they are quality wise? they sound dope and i want to get them im just tryin to get feedback before i drop the cash.
 
they are super sick, a bit on the stiffer side with lots of pop. Over all ride is good and they rock in the park, never tryed them on rails but any ski can be good on rails
 
stiffer? do you weight like 90pounds? anthems are a wider version of the invaders(softski). They did make them a touch stiffer i believe. I wouldnt not put these skis on the stiff side of the scale its more of a softer-to mid level flex.
 
word thanks guys. that sounds like exactly what im looking for. something slightly stiffer and wider than the invaders cuz im 6'2 but still a park ski with lots of pop.
 
I was really stoked on them, my favorite park ski by line for next year, nice and wide for stomping and still poppy and a good smooth park flex, i'd definately check them out for next year.
 
I don't see why not, they're wide enough for it, but not a good ski to do big , fast lines with, or drop chutes...but for just throwing some airs off the trail I bet they'd be fine.
 
i had invaders this year, im considering selling them and buying anthems...

would i like the anthems? i ski east coast ontario. short hills etc, but i have skied on a few fat skis mostly the salomon pocket rocket and i loved the feel.

how will the extra fattness handle in the park?
 
i had invaders this year and was hitting lovelands 65 and 70 foot jumps and they were just fine as well as winter parks 55 and 65 ft jumps. they did just fine and didtnt chatter at all. (i weight 138lbs and im 6 ft tall)
 
the extra width will give you more stabliity on rails/jumplandings

im also getting anthems sent to me from line cause my invaders delamed. if you call enough and raise enough hell they wont make you pay the difference.
 
oh ive never ridden fuji's but i have old 1080's and they get a little sketch taking off and landing on alpine's 75 footer when you're goin like 40mph. but thanks this thread helped.
 
Hate to burst your bubble dude, but no way in hell are lovelands jumps 70 fucking feet. at one point loveland had put a twenty foot box on top of one of the tables, thus making what was previously a jump, a transfer to box. Anyways, that box took up almost the whole gap. That was not the biggest jump, however. I would say the biggest was maybe thirty. I know for a fact that the box was twenty because my dad helped make it.

So in conclusion, don't exaggerate, and if you do make it only by like 5 feet
 
The only time I've ever ridden Fujis they were so unstable I gave them back to my friend after one run, they seriously chattered on groomers so badly I thought I was gonna east shit just from them losing control and giving out, I hated them.
 
whats the deal with the eliptical sidecut tho they say it s gonna handle like a snowboard i ski so idont know what a snowboard handles like?? would it be bunk or could you not even tell the difference
 
The Bacon's are supposed to be back mountain booter skis right? (real question, I'm not sure cause I skied all the new skis at Jay on a groomers), If so, you should be fine with the Anthems because they're just about the same softness as the bacons and exactly the same stiffness as the invaders.
 
no, by saying they were on the stiffer side i was talking about the difference between lastyears and this years
 
kk im trying to buy two pairs of skis this season...one pair for park/rails, and one pair for cruisin the mountains, hittin some powder, some smaller bc booters n shit...initially i had invaders and bacons in mind...would it be dumb to get anthems and bacons, or not so much?? maybe just stick with getting invaders? i'm 6'2" and about 180lbs...not no scrony little bitch
 
man seriously...who shit on your frosted flakes this morning...i was asking a legit question, as stupid as it may have been...if you dont have anything useful to say relating to what i asked then why bother being a douchebag and flappin your fuckin face off?
 
hey man... the way i remember it, you're the one that started taking a stab at me. don't get your fucking panties in a bunch now!
 
hey man, the way i remember it...i took a stab at you in a different thread, and consequently appologized cuz im a tard and you were right...but you were the one that decided to go rifleing through other threads and flaming me in them...cool shit for sure there guy
 
when u guys say that they are stiffer than the invaders, how much do u mean, i thought that they were the exact same as the invaders just wider and with way sicker graphics.
 
Because they are wider that adds the how they flex...but they aren't by any means a stiff ski, they're still soft and made for butters and shit in the park, they are just slightly stiffer because they are wider.
 
I got the Freeskier Buyers Guide and the review on the Anthems says "They butter like no other with bread for breakfast". That sounds pretty good to me.
 
pounds that is, and i know they are a soft ski, but i have heard multiple people say that if you weigh under 130-140 you should get the invader because the anthems will be hard to flex. which i think is total bull, but i just wanted to make sure
