Add another vote for the Trouble Maker.

I love it in the pipe. perfect pop for getting out of the pipe. nice and stable too, you don't want a butter stick in the pipe.

I think the pipe cleaner is a great park ski, but a bit soft for pipe (hand flexing, it was the same flex if not softer then the t-hall. I am starting to suspect that the only difference between the two is the base...)

try to find the black a green Trouble makers. (06-07, i think?
they had some kind of metal strip underfoot that made it stiffer, while still soft towards the tips.

The Coreupt yard and urban rise are  the same mold as the trouble. Nice chance to pick up good pipe skis for $159 shipped

Not really, the tails are stiff but the tips sure aren't.  Take a look a my profile picture, pressing some PC with ease.  I can't press my TNK's like that, which I think tie for the best pipe ski.

then you were flexing it wrong, pipe cleaner has a much much stiffer tail than the T-hall.

i have pipe cleaners, fairly stiff, poppy tail, fast skis (provided you keep them tuned because the race base needs a bit of extra TLC) and overall i'm very happy with them.  a little more energetic than the ar6

cant go wrong with those winning pipecleaners! but also next year salomons dropping the dumont pro model and making a pipe specific ski may want to check into that.
