How would you compare those skis?
What about the radius=25m (urban) for crusing and riding switch? Isn't it too big?

differences are as follows man
trips are true twins...made for true center mounting...reinforced edges for sliding...they're a muuuuch stiffer ski than the fujative so i don't know why you're comparing the two...the fujative is a bit lighter...not made for mounting true center...not true twin...
im getting the urban triplets for park this year...good snappy ski but i think still soft enought o dick around on jibs...
if you're considering the two, i'd go with the triplets, more bang for the buck

now I have more info about both:
the urban is def. lighter and I don't think that the urban is stiffer, not the 06/07 one.

urban is mad stiffunderffot while flexy on tip and tails for good landigns and easybuttering action.
the 25 m radius is weird at first but once your used it's ok.
I got them the morning of the us open big air and got used to them by cruising around in park about 30 minutes before pratice started (still skied liek shit in big air tho :) )
hope that helps

yeah the skis don't really compare, the triplets are awsome because they are stiff in the right places, light as hell, and burly. the fujatives are a good park ski, but the closer comparison would be to a public enemy. I would go with the triplets, they rock.

i can't wait to ride my UT. So soft at the tip and tail, and stiff underfoot as stated before. Mine are mounted just over a cm back from true center.

^UT's are looking so nice this years but the price is not were its at. Three skis that don't come with bindings for a $679 price tag sucks. They should have a 2 ski option w/bindings around 5ish, the whole 3 skis thing is pointless sorta.

agreed. the set up with bindings can cost upwards of a grand. kids dont want to pay that.

Ok, one more ski - Fischer Habit. What would you say about that ski. It also is symetrical but has different sidecut..

again you're comparing different skis...
the urban trips would be a good comparison to the fischer addicts though...as far as the true twin concept goes anyways
and yea the urban trips are stiffer everywhere than the fujatives...don't care what anyone says...
the whole three ski thing is def kind of bunk...especially on price point...but, when you think about it...you're paying an extra what, $150 over other decent park skis for better quality and durability to get one more ski...and same with the bindings...sure you're paying a grand or more for the full set up but its worth it in the long run
strictly comparison wise...the triplets beat both skis you're putting them up against...hands down the trips will own them...edge reinforcement, rivets=very slim chance of delamming, extra ski for those who like to maybe rip a binding out??, and dope graphics/good lengths in my opinion
its all personal pref. and budget amount when it comes down to it
but i don't really care i get pro form on them...

i would probably say the 175 would be good for you...im 6'2" and about 195 and buying the 184...remember, the ski is made to mount and ride true center so the ski is going to feel a fucking lot shorter
