They're really light, a kid at Marble has them, they're his first ever twintip ski, he just started this year and he was throwin lincolns the other day and he posted a movie on facebook in which he did a small rodeo 5. He totally shreds on them and they are still in good shape.

yeah i have seen them before too in the 171..i think the JR ski is the "fly" correct me if i am wrong though..
i dunno i would say if your not a super agressive skier and its a good deal go for them.. and then again if they break fast i would just go back to where you got them from and have them contact salomon or you contact them and tell them that they were a piece of shit and broke.. but i used to use salomon 1080's in a 161 until this season so i was a 5'4" 130lbs agressive skier on them and they never broke..

The Jr is the "Fish"
Plus, this is nothing like the 1080 besides the name. It's a cheap, POS, to get you on the hill. If you ride MAYBE 5-10 days a season and don't hit many rails, you wont have ANY problem with these skis.
But If you actually ride park and want a pair of skis that aren't gonna be destroyed the 100th rail you hit, go with something like the K2 Silencer. I've had a pair of these for 65 days this season and the only thing I've had to fix were a few edge compressions.
Otherwise, buy a real ski.

The Thruster is the exact same ski as the old 04/05 1080's.
If you remember the one's with the mech warrior on them, that came in different colors to size.
151-Yellow
161-Green
171-Silver
181-Orange
So in other words, yeah. It's a great ski, go with it. It's a little softer, but will still hold up a hell of a lot better than the Flyers.
