I am looking to buy a pair of Moment skis. I just don't know which ones to get between the Reno Jib and the Reno Rocker.

well if you're not much of a jump guy, the rockers would be fun, being able to do surface switchups and such, as well as buttering all over the hill. you could take the Planks into consideration too (ced's pro model), it's rockered too, and the Rocker, Jib, and Plank are all designed for park.

Just some info for guys in europe who want Moment ski's next year;

Hey Lambert,

Moment Skis will be available in several European countries next year. Links to the shops and distributors will be on the 09/10 website that will be released sometime this summer.

Also, you can always order skis directly from us.

Thanks for the interest in Moment.

Take care,
Luke Jacobson

I have the rockers. After riding them once I bought them. Def not the ski for everybody because of its unique feel, but if you like buttery, surfy skis, they are for you! I personally wouldn't feel comfortable on jumps bigger than 35-40 on them though.

Luke is so dreamy....

anyway for jibs I'd say the 181 rocker or the planks woulld be the best since the tail and tip taper with the  rockered design will make it less catchy spinning onto and out of the rail.
