As any normal ski bum is wondering which is better the Seth Pistols or the Motherships? Personally i prefer the SP but that is based on skill of the pro not the ski itself. So which is better?

P.S: If anyone can hook me up with so new or used SP e-mail me at Themisfita23@hotmail.com

Defentily the Pistols, would;nt want to settle for anything less than 189 if you are doing all big mountian/backcountry. Mothership tend to delam and will not hold up in the long run. Again your call.

^you're wrong, just cause the pros are sponsored by a company doesn't mean they can't try the other stuff, they just can't do any photography or filming with out there sponsors skis on or comps, but they can try them, and personally the sp is way stronger than the mo ship

I know that. I'm just thinking Seth in particular. He's been with K2 so long and they've pretty much done anything to accomodate him, so my guess is whatever he would want, they would do their best to make it for him.

Seth designed the Pistol after he tried the Mothership and liked it, but wished it was stiffer.

The motherships are wet noodles and will turn to shit after a few months. The pistols are more durable they will hold they strenght longer.

motherships and a good ski for both pow and park. it is a little soft for more softer tunes. unlike some skis that are stiff for power turns. also the softness helps out with park riding.

pep is on here as well. when K2 said that they were going to make seth a pro model, he tried the moships (along with some other skis) and liked them, but they werent stiff enough for him. it all comes down to how stiff you want your skis. if you like a softer, more forgiving ride, buy the MoShips. if you want something stiffer and more aggresive, go for the pistols

Lots of fat skis chatter on ice. You don't ski fat skis on ice. So no, they don't chatter when you ski pow.

how do you try a ski in a shop? Oh you mean you took it off the rack and flexed it, which shows you NOTHING about the ski's performance? oh ok... Eat a dick and choke on it fucknut.

Yes pros trym other shit all the time so they can give imput to there company as well as for fun and also other companies are always trying to lure riders to them.(not in the case of seth for sure)

I saw kristi riding Dynastars when everyone knew she was leaving Nordica last season as well as salomons and rossi which she ended up with.
