Payed 115 bucks on ebay.

Was surprised at how beefy these are considering they're 8 years old.

So stoked.
 
What were they like on rails and pipe, and how was the flex for butters?

It's hard to find information on these guys.
 
They're exactly like the old Rossi Scratches, the red and yellow ones with the silhouette of the girls tit
 
Alright here goes a hung over review...

So i can remember thrashing these things on rails, rocks, and other jibs and the bases were fantastic. As far as the topsheet goes, it suffers a lot of cosmetic damage from ski to ski chipping, but who cares it does not affect the performance of the ski.

As far as pipe goes, my mountain did not have a pipe back then, my guess they would be alright nothing spectacular but nothing horrible. As far as flex, i loved the flex on these, super flexy (at that time) in the nose great for butters and somewhat flexy in the tail. I really learned how to butters on these skis, so once you break them in they are golden. Next to the Pow Air, these were my first true twin tip skis and learned a lot on them. My best review can be for you just to go for it and take them out. Hope this helps.
