You're right on. ANTs are much lighter and poppier/livelier/snappier.Quote:

FYI, I'm 190ish and it's plenty stable for me. I'd suggest getting on them before you comit to them as it may be alot of ski for you.Quote:

Just curious on real feedback.
Sorry for being a wise ass.
late to the game here
i am a happy ANT owner as well. tho i blew my knee about a month ago so now my pair is collecting dust. they only saw about 10-15 days this season but the more time i put on them the more i got to digging them. i wasn't in the best shape comming into this season and the ANT's kicked my ass for the first while. they were riding me more than i was riding them. then i got stronger and the ski broke in a little bit.
visicous is pretty much dead on. it's a big ski but works everywhere well and you get used to it. there is no speed limit (well i didn't find one at least) and they are stable as hell. this comming from a guy who is 6'3", 220lbs and has a strong race background.
i moved from a pistol to the ANT so there was a big change ski to ski. the pistol was butter for me - i could make it do whatever - the ANT, not so much. it took me a while to figure out how to make the ANT work right, but i was sure as hell getting there, then my knee went pop!
for mounting i ended up drilling mine at the line or 7cm back of chord center if you measure them up. i plan to re-mount em 9cm back. 7 gave me a bunch of tip dive in deep pow. i didn't mind having the tail back there, but the tip dive was no fun. i imagine that with more days the dive would get better as they continued to soften up.
Brian The Bold - i think the ANT would hand your ass back to you in a brown bag with your name on it. really! it's a lot of ski even for a big dude like me... or i'm just a total pussy :fm:
Too late...The wheels are already in motion! I guess I could probally be convienced to buy some Prophet 100's at 186, but I really want to ride some ANTs, even if they may kill me.Quote:
