Yeah I can't decide on if I'd like the 180cm 4frnts. The dimensions are 122 X 92 X 108. The ski seems kinda wide and I can't really tell if I want that. I kinda like the Troublemaker too but its waist is 72cm, which seems skinny. Both skis are sweet I heard I just need someone to tell me what ski I want. If your going to post something negative right off the back I'm going to tell you to fuck off and don't bother.

Thanks

ski them don't ask people to tell you what you want because it will be what they want not what you want

oh yeah, I was thinking about that. But see the thing is, I don't have old skis to use, so before the season even starts, I need some skis and I am going on a trip early before the season starts to Colorado for racing camp and will do a little freeriding. I plan on buying skis within the next month or two. So I won't demo them. I just need someone to tell which ski I will like better because that is what I want.

Thanks
-Pat

the 4frnts are slightly trendier at the moment so why not go with popularity?

yeah they are trendier, but does trendier mean better? I think so. Yeah you can pre-order them so you have them by september from getboards.com or have them by October from 4frnt.com. But I mean if I can't demo them what else can I fuckin do man? I have researched these bitches forever and have found them to be equal skis. The Troublemaker cost less, the 4frnt ski comes in 180cm which is what size I want. I mean its impossible.

they will probably be a good ski. if you like the dimensions then i think you would be safe buying them before riding them.

what kind of 'freeriding' are you doing? if the 4frnts are in the size you want get them. they are supposed to hold up super well at high speeds (and being a racer that is important even for freeriding) becuase they are supposed to be really stiff. i say get those

I'll tell you this much:

I plan on riding 4FRNTs this year, if everythin works out financially. i'll be getting the 170's. i've always ridden 1260's. that is a HUGE difference. PLUS, i ride in ohio...which I don't need shit good for big mountain or like powder...but I'll still rock em' cuz they are dope.

your talking about two very different skis... are you sure that those are the only ones that you have narrowed it down to,

that like saying i either want motherships or concepts... ones a 92 waist and the others a 78.

i would say if you ride back east or mostly park get the tm's ive rode them abunch and they rip,

and i would say that if you live out here in the west then get the 4frnts, cause you probably will be riding some pow pow this year and you will like the girth.

second shawns post, if you are skiing powder 4rnts, if not at 180cm and that waist for only carving on really hard pack will be like skiing a mack truck with a full load. But they will be crazy stable but way slow edge to edge.

Na, I'll be skiing Michigan, so rarely any powder, Im takin some trips out West but thats it. I'm possitive that those two are what I want, I just can't decide which still, I was going to get the 4frnts before I saw those last two posts. Now im still kinda stuck. Djextreme, how big are you? Why are you getting 170s? Im only 5'10' 180lbs. and I would get the 180's.

true that 4frnts are sick and all... but theyre a lot sicker if you live in Whistler like Sterbenz does. If youre not skiing 30 pow days a year out west, the TMs are more reasonable. 78 waist gives you plenty of float for a few fresh tracks and loads of versatility for trees, bumps, bulletproof ice, and of course park.
Both sweet skis though.
