Any info on these? I'm looking for a new park ski for next year and need something thats stiff enough to stomp jumps up to 40' and soft enough to butter like crazy. I'm 5'6" 135lbs and ive been eyeing these but havent found any reviews on them.
these also got the top pick in skiing magazine just a bit over the volkl wals.
out of 3.5, nordica ignitions got:
3 for edge hold
3.5 for stompability
3 for pops/butters
3 for switch
volkl walls got
3.5 for edge hold
3 for stomp
3 for pops/butters
3 for switch
If I were you, I would go with the volkls according to some other reviews and this one. I'd prefer and edge hold over stompability, since they are relatively close in relation.
I was gonna get the ignitions but the proform supply ran out of them, so i got the Sparks instead. From what i read the Sparks are the same skis (dimensions, sidecut, everything else) except that the spark has a cap construction and iginitions have a sidewall.
The sparks so far have been surprisingly fun. I'm 5'5 and 135 lbs riding the 176 mounted dead center. The skis are really light (the iginitions with the sidewall is prolly a little heavier), really fun flex, and they do well outside of the park. Flex wise the tail is soft, but stiff enough for good pop. also the tip is i think even more softer than the tail, but in a good way. Outside of the park they've been holding up very well. I ride on Mt. Hood and they have been fun all around. Lastly, the durability of the skis have been very good so far. The last two weeks at hood have been really sunny park days so I've been hitting rails/jumps hundreds of times and i have no significant cracks, edge pulls, or base problems.
