1st troublemaker review

Ok i've been skiing them for about a week or so doing pretty much everything. I have a pair of 182's mounted +2.5 and a pair of 175's mounted 0.
I'm 5'10' 155lbs. First off I'll say what I found best for me. The recommended mounting point is in the perfect spot so I liked that better then the +2.5cm, and I feel there is no need to forward or center mount with the ski. I also found the 175 was perfect for me, the 182 flet a bit sluggish (mounted with a p12jib wich is pretty heavy, might be why). The ski is nice in powder, obviously it doesnt float like a 95mm waist ski but it floats incredably well for 78mm plus it just carves through it. the ski was great all mountain its got a perfect flex not too soft not too stiff and it absorbs everthing nicely and inspires confidence. bigger guys (180lbs +) would probably find it soft though. skid decent in moguls and was able to hold a line but the tails would cross and they would carve out of line, which can be expected with a park ski. the ski tracked awsome forward and fakie, if you lean into it it really hooks up and rails pretty nice both forward and back. the ski is gtreat in the pipe and definatly feels snappy, but alot of it is overexagerated, i wasnt boosting 30% bigger or anything. so far it isnt falling apart or anything but i cant comment on the durability yet. anyway its a great ski, especially for someone on the east coast that does alot of park but also just likes killing the groomers or pow. 8.5/10.

i got 165 (im 5'3) trouble makers with the p 10's. very sick skis
can hold an edge, can go fast with no-low chatter. absorb real well too. and unlike you, i really notcied a difference in the pop. i can actually ollie over stuff now cuz the pop is just so damn good. however, i also had the tail crossing problem. i got over it though. i guess i just need a wid3r stance? the only other problem was sometimes rails would stick for me but no1 else, but that could be a personal thing, not ski related. over all.....9/10

whats core center? is that recommended, the point where the ski should balance with the binding on it? cause the tm's suck forward mounted

i got 175's mounted +2 with p12's, and i love everything about them, except the p12's make them pretty heavy, which just makes the swingweight a little too much for my liking, but it's not problem and makes me do everything slow and stylish, no cheating spins on my skis.
and the pop is great

mine are mounted dead centre. i couldn't be happier with the construction of it and the way it rides. it is a sick, sick, sick ski, however it is not very durable. i have destroyed the edges and bases on them and the topsheet scrathes very easily. i think i will have to buy another pair next year, but i might go with phil pro models.

I dont mind the topsheet personally. I put platic packing tape over mine and it works great. i'll probably just not do rails on mine except for a few rails in the park. I hated them mounted farther up then recomended though
