AK Swallowtail lifespan?

[cooltsi]

I was looking for a set of these and one guy finally got back with me. They are the purple vintage so I assume wood core. Supposedly they have 80 days on them. How much life is left in a set of these with 80 days on them. He want $200 with some beat 14 din 900's. I can forward some rather large images if anyone is interested.

I had a pair of the orange foam core ones. They may have softened up just a bit within the first 20 days I put on em, but pretty much kept their flex for about 100 days, at which point they turned to complete noodles over the span of just a couple days on em.


I think the wood core ones should be a lot better. I scored a pair of the same purple ones you're talking about (new though) and expect em to last me a while, although I don't have any first hand info as far as the wood core goes.

they should last OK, but they all have salmon's weak sidewalls.

fun ski, but maybe not for the ROCKY mountains
