Oh - I stand corrected then. No overlap indeed Originally Posted by Vicious

FFF - 118
Soooo, I have NO overlap...technically speaking.

How do the ants feel vs. the 103? I imagine a little snappier and lighter b/c there's no metal in the Ants?
Life is a lot like climbing: there isn't anything much more comforting than a good #2.

You're right on. ANTs are much lighter and poppier/livelier/snappier. Originally Posted by sfotex

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. Originally Posted by bryanthebold

Just curious on real feedback.

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

you will be fine. But at your weight, a ski like that will DEMAND you stay forward. My big daddies punish me when i get back, but now mid season.....that doesnt happen much anymore. I am 6'3 175 on a real good day... Originally Posted by bryanthebold
