im lookin to get a new park ski and all i really wanna know is how durable are they? i dont have alot of cash so i hope to use these for a while, and the early rise design seems pretty cool to me.

Anybody who's had experience with moment know how durable their park skis are? i do damage to my skis (my current ones have 17 edge cracks) and i dont want my edges falling out on me.

Good help is appreciated! +k

My Armada AR6's are the most durable ski i have ever been on, and since the cap construction on the alpha 2's is supposed to be more durable Id go with them. Plus they indeed do have a sick design that makes them super versatile.

if you hit rails what do you expect? did you detune your edges? I rode Reno Jibs all season on rails and urban with heavily detuned edges (basically round) and I didn't get a single edge crack and no major base damage, even from concrete ledges/wallrides..

My Reno Rockers have had a little bit of topsheet chipping, but next years are supposed to be more durable. Everything else is awesome though.

i have the reno rockers and i love them. so much pop on these things. super playful ski plus the design is sick on them. just get them longer than you normally would because rockered skis deff ride shorter
