the mavericks are GREAT idk what they are talking about. I rode them for a year and a half, they held up awsome. thier very similar to the 1260's just a little less pop, but more stabability on steep stuff.
I like my maverick's but im thinking that the assassins would be your best choice. I havent skied them yet but from what i hear they're a lot more of an all mountain and decent park ski than the maverick.
