Ok heres the deal, i went to my local shop and they are having a "ski cruncher" I was just going there to see how cheap bindings were then i saw what i think was a good deal. A pair of Pocket Rockets with bindings for 300 dollars. The skis are used but not that bad, Before i saw this i was looking at a pair of last year Moship Flites for 310 brand new WITHOUT bindings.
I would get 175 for the pocket rockets and 172 for the flites if you could give me any help that would be great becuase the sale starts tomorow and they only have like 3 pair.
I weigh 135lbs and 5ft 10

it depends on what year the pocket rockets are. if they are last years model i would get those. i got a year old pair of 1080s for 200 w/bindings and it was one of the best moves i couldve made

pocket rockets are light and soft. they're good in the park and are decent in powder. they chatter a bit on hard snow but they have decent edge hold....

....but motherships are more sicker. i demoed both skis on a powder day. the pocket rockets were cool, but they broke in half around noon. the motherships were sickkk and i rode them the next three seasons.

moral of the story is, it depends on how much you can get bindings for, cuz if you can get bindings cheap just get the moships and bindings. it's worth it.






my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

motherships are 100 times better than pocket rockets. they fall apart easily and are shitty cause they are also salomon. motherships are so nice. ive skiied htem in powder, park, groomed, everywhere. i would go motherships as long as they are the right size
