Replying to To those with questions about Coreupt....
For anyone with questions about Coreupt, what skis are what, how they preform, etc. I've dug around a bit and i'll try to answer some stuff.
- First off, it seems that they totally fucked some of the measurements on the site (i.e. they list the park skis with wider measures then the pow skis, when it should be the other way around). SO:
- There are four models of skis:
-140-115-130, in a 185 these are the " Hands Up" by Richard Permin. These are equivalent to the Dynastar Huge Troubles, which I have no review on, sorry. But it should be easy enough to find one. These are going for $349 on Coreupt
-124-92-114, in 3 sizes, 166-176-186 these are the "pow" by Candide and the "Change" by TJ. These are equivalent to the Dynastar Big Trouble. Again, I have no review, b ut should be easy enough to find.
-112-78-102, in 155-165-175-182. These are the "yard" by Candide and the "Urban Rise" by Colby. These are equivalent to the Dynastar TROUBLE (Not the troublemaker). However, the trouble is basically the old mold for the troublemaker (not sure when they changed it). I own a 182 and 175 troublemaker with the same mold so i'll give a quick review below.
- 128-100-118, in 176-184-190 These are the XXX Ray which are equivalent to the Dynastar Legend Pro Rider. Don't have a review, but you should be able to look that up.
So for a review of the Yard/urban rise aka Dynastar Trouble aka old Troublemaker.
It's a fairly stiff ski (think between public enemy and invader), nice and poppy. Tails and nose are fairly soft but gets stiffer pretty quick as you get back by the boot. Its a fairly skinny ski and it has good pop, what a surprise, its great in the pipe! and look at that, Dynastar lists the trouble as a pipe ski. Nice and poppy off jumps too, fun to ollie around but not too hard for butters. Not a butter noodle though. However, just like the original tm im guessing the edges suck. Bottom line, theses are well worth it to add to your quiver as a pipe ski alone. also very good on jumps and good for ollieing around. not great for rail durability. I'm gonna ick up a pair for pipe/park as I have my old troublemakers for rails and my obSETHed for everything else.
Hope this helped. Correct me if I got anything wrong.
