Super interested in these, not much info on em. Could someone tell me that has em how they hold up from abuse. And if they like them.

Thanks

Turn radius felt unpredictable, too long at slow speeds and too short at high speeds. The rocker was fun for small butters, but I had trouble getting spins going into butters because of how small the noses and tails are. Feels sketchy at high speeds and on jumps, yet somehow isn’t really fun on rails or jib features either. Overall I got the feeling that it was trying to be a good all around ski, but failed to be good at anything.
 
On my third pair and I can confidently say they're the best ski I've ever ridden. Absolutely bomb proof, playful yet still responsive, and forgiving while still high performing. I have a pair that I'm using as street skis after a hard prior year on the hill and they're still kicking after 100+ days. They hold up well on the biggest jumps I have access to (~50 ft), but are still capable of buttering around when you'd like. Also the strange "triple camber" shape is kinda neat for helping you not catch up on rails. 11/10 would recommend

I take it you never skied triple camber skis prior to the frankenski?
 
Been riding a pair for a few weeks now and its probably the best ski i've ridden. I have also. been beating the crap out of them and only some minor top sheet damage. very fun for park

Skied them for a week, hated them with all my heart, but that’s just my opinion on them.

Had the exact opposite experience, it’s definitely different from other skis.

He’s genuinely I think the first person I’ve ever heard complain about frankenskis lets a lot the current version. Again I think it’s just these people have never skied triple camber and had no clue what to expect. Or they have no idea they are triple camber period.

The main reason I tried it was to see what the triple camber was like, and my experience is likely not representative of the majority of people that have skied it.

Actually you are pretty common in that sense as far as triple camber goes. People either absolutely hate it or love it. Not really a major in between group.

the frankenski I’ll say you’re the oddball out there lol. I’ve only heard great things. And I personally enjoyed them on a demo day.
