When clicking into your skis means being in the air as much as on the snow, the 4FRNT TNK Ski gives you podium-worthy performance that hucks, spins, flips, and stomps with the best of them. 4FRNT’s premier park & pipe ski and Niklas Karlstrom’s signature model, the TNK returns this year with an improved core profile for landing huge aerials and a sintered race base for unswerving speed in the pipe.

I like these skis quite a bit in a 180. Not exactly what I need, but I wanted to try a park ski. I wanted a jib ski that favored hard pack, and would ride well switch. I picked these up cheap and figured they'd be just what I wanted to add to my quiver. All my other skis are over 100mm in the waist, so this was going to be my only hard snow ski. I mounted them with BD 02 bindings and had no control. So after one day of that, I slapped on some Hammerheads. The control really improved, but the ski still didn't ride how I wanted. My groomer style is to either go incredibly fast with long turns and straight-lining, or switch skiing mixed with some low spins and moon-walks. I don't go huge on big kickers and tables. I don't ride rails or boxes. A softer, wider ski would be better for me, I think. For someone who does like big park stuff, these would be great. Super fast base, and solid construction. The top sheet chips, though, but whatever. Wear your battle scars with honor- just maintain the bases. Poppy, snappy, solid, fast, and light. Killer ski.
As my review below says, I found these skis to be a bit too stiff for freestyle tele skiing. They have a lot of camber, and a progressive flex. I couldn't really seem to find the right way to ride them. I tried pushing them really fast, but they seemed squirrely. I tried low speeds, and they just didn't give me enough carve. I would check out the Rossignol S3, the Sickbird, Fischer Misfit, K2 Sodo, or the Line Blend. All those I have found to serve the telemark freestyle niche really well. Good flex, good pop, forgiving, aggressive, and solid. Most of the park and pipe skis from 4frnt, Armada, and freestyle oriented alpine ski manufacturers tend to be too stiff for telemark skiing. But that's just, like, my opinion, man. If I were to buy a skinnier freestyle ski, I think I'd go for the S3. I love early rise, even on hard snow.
These skis are great park skis. Super poppy and light for jumps or pipe. The race base is great, just keep it maintained. For a super light setup get the deadbolt 15 bindings.
