Any of the fine folk on here ride Head skis? Got a good potential deal on some brand new Xenon Xi 10.0 skis and wondering what first hand experience anyone on here might have with Head (also looking at reviews online of course). The guy in the shop - who I trust - had good things to say and I have been reading some fairly positive thoughts.
Edit: the deal I have is for the brand new skis and bindings waxed up and ready for 60,000 yen. Seems good to me (especially when the other shop I asked was asking 80,000 for the same).
Cheers!

I've never owned any Head myself but I tried them out iiyamadude - felt good. Good multi condition ski I enjoyed it. What sort of terrain you want it for?

My good friend has Head. He likes them a lot. As stemik says, good racing skis.

That means a lot MikePow - good to get your input. I think I'll be popping on down there again tomorrow. I'll ask about the deal! Cheers!

Sharp looking boards and a good price break. What's the waist and flex?

I had a look at them in the local store yesterday. Nice skis and the guy in the shop (knowledgeable guy) seemed to be positive about them.
Damn there are so many skis to choose from.
