I need your guys help deciding whether should I get 07 k2 fujative or 07 Dyna TMs?   I can get fujative for about $20 cheaper, but duno if I should just spend the extra and get the TMs.  I ride 80% park/groomed and 20% everything else.  I am 5'6 and 130 lbs.  There is not much snow in southern California, so I dont have to worry about those 10 ft powders, just maybe 10 mm of fake snow. thanks

trouble makers will probably be a little better for groomers etc, but fujatives are just as sick. ive been ridin them for like 4 years now a couple pairs. if you wanna a cheap pair message me i have 179's and will try to hook it up

I own both and would have to TM is a better more balanced ski that will last longer.

Fujis are extremely soft in the nose and a little stiffer but still soft in the tail. I personally like the wider waist for landing in the park They make for a fun ski in the park and to play around on but wouldn't make them a one ski quiver.

TMs are definately a lot stiffer in my opinion. They're a hell of a lot lighter and less sluggish than fujis. I ride them east coast all mtn and in the park. More of a balanced ski that can rip. My only complaint is that I wish they were wider.

tm's wil hold up better in all mountain but fujatives would be a good choice for you cuz you doing mainly park, but if you ski cruddy peanut buttery snow a lot then you should go tm's

TMs last longer than fujatives? are you on crack? my bro's blown through trouble makers like they're made with elmers glue, while i've skied my fujatives and silencers just as hard and they're holding up great. while i really like how the TMs ski, durability isnt even a question compared to anything from K2.

Hey man I'm just speaking from experience. My TMs don't have any edge cracks or chipping while the fujis sidewalls are chipping and lifting up off the metal edge, which is cracked in two places.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

a k2 has horrible durability, that core will have no camber or flex after a year. yeah they suck, the edges hold up, but their cores (the only thing you cant fix) just gets fucked over.

yea $20 more for tm's is 100% worth it.
