I think the gear talks are the best skis ever made.

What? Pipe cleaners are the stiff ski, T-Halls are the softer jib skis with butter zones and such.

I don't get why you tell him to get the pipe cleaners cause we don't know shit about him. Like you said, form YOUR personal opinion T-Halls were too flexible but maybe he likes softer skis or maybe he is just really light.

And to the OP, we would need to know more info on you cause from what you just told us, we can'T really help.

You will have to tell us a little bit more about what the ski will be used for. Pipe cleaners are much faster and stiffer than the T-halls. If you don't like waxing then forget it. Pipe cleaners have a race base that will fall apart if not taken care of properly. T-halls are softer and have flex points for butters, so better for jibbing. They will also not need to be waxed as often. I have not ridden either ski though.

Yeah, I have T-halls. I can honestly say that they aren't that soft. Yeah they will be softer than pipe cleaners but they are not near as soft as skis like afterbangs. They are going to be a good park ski and do well on big jumps(look at b-dog, he used them at the x-games and those were some big jumps). If you want a stiffer ski you could always go with ar6 cause you wont have to wax them as often as pipe cleaners.
Hope this helps.

No, if you wax them a lot they wont loose its speed it will only keep them fast. The race base wont break on icy crud because they are still a strong base, they only take more care with waxing.
