Are good for hucking.
They are superb for riding.
But rails do damage.

They're alot like reactors, most people love them, some people hate them, some people brake them. Lots of people use them on rails without any problems, I just wouldn't do 50ft disasters.

But Line will warranty reactors any time. Where Dynastar will not warranty the trouble maker.

THANK YOU FAIRVIEW!!! see line is awesome and warranties when reactors/skis break. dynastar will not warranty shit. they are made so that the edges break so you gotta buy new skis. i would not recommend TMs at all. get line, they warranty

^oh shit, my ski looks bad, stop being such a woman. I have a pair of TMs, I got one crack in them because i could them on the corner to the start of a box. I got them professionally repaired, and now they rip again. If you have never ridden the TMs, do not comment about whether they are shitty or not. They are the best twin I have skied.

''they are made so that the edges break so you gotta buy new skis.''

Really? You think Dynastar designers sat around and said, ''lets make a super shitty ski, that way kids will have to buy many pairs'' Sounds kinda stupid to me.

Actually, they did. They didn't improve the edges for next year, even though they know its a problem. They won't warranty them, so they hope you'll just buy another pair. Silly Dynastar.

your damn right they did. im not even kidding. the more their skis break, the more often people have to buy new ones which means more money for them. and since dynastar doesnt warranty anything at all they dont give a fuck. and i actually have ridden my friends TMs before and they were horrible.

Troublemakers are only easily braking if you do big ol disasters onto rails or urban/concrete riding. I do things like boxes and flat and s-rails (common park rails) and they hold up fine.

my troubles didn't last very long, skied them about 20 times and base and one edge got ripped off a bit from the nose. no rails with them, only jumps.

my friends TMs delammed from the center of the ski only after 15 times of skiing. luckily he got new ones in a couple of days.
i think this tells a lot about their durability, super great for jumping but not so long lasting.

super fun ski, great flex, rides great, but i destroyed 2 pairs this season, and 1 last summer (sat out part of last season and the summer cause of a knee). depends on how much you ride really. if you just do weekends it should hold up fine, but if you're riding a ton you're gunna go through a bunch of them. but i guess ame goes for most ski's, the truth is, compared to snowboards, all skis are pretty fragile.

They were the funnest ski i've ridden until the edge fell out. If i wasn't doing any rails i would buy a new pair immedietly. And you do need edges for pipe to someone up there.

Really nice thing happened to me today. I got a call from the shop where I bought TMs, and they said that I won't get new skis. That sounds more than idiotic because base and edge were coming out of the ski! I sure want to know what is their reason not to replace those skis with new ones.

It's up to the manufacturer whether or not your skis get replaced, not the shop. Some companies are cool about warranty, some aren't.

I rode my TM's hard for over a year at alta and never had ANY durability issues. Although I also never hit a rail and I think thats their big thing...otherwise they hold up fine and are a great ski.

Yes I do know that the importer is the one who decides whether skis will be replaced or not. I'm definitely going to call them again if the reason for not to replacing the skis is something like "they aren't broken enough" or "this doesn't have an affect how ski behaves". It just feels so wrong that if the ski breaks because of the manufactures mistake and they won't replace it. Gotta get used it, I think.

You're a fool if you think they will be better on rails. The ONLY thing they changed about this ski is the graphic. The edge is the exact same crappy edge as the old ones. So I guess they will be better if flames help you slide rails.
