I think because you are a lighter guy you will have more fun on the moments, I believe they are softer than the AR7s and the Stepups...and well, The Kang Bang is some scary shit man.

Can't comment on durability, haven't had expirience with either ski. And you had better sleep with one eye open if you know whats good for you, don't mess with The Kang Bang.

Because he has Moments cock jammed halfway down his throat, and wants to share it with you.


That being put aside. I still would second the Jibs. I've heard nothing but good things from those skis.

Then there is no pleasing you (:

Seriously though, don't worry about it. Stick around though, and you might figure it out.

In the mean time though, I'd still say look into those Moment Jibs. They look like sex, or the Vices, if you want something with a rocker.

I'd really like a chance to demo the Vices this winter. Looks like my dream park ski.

They've given the Tahoe some rocker this year, probably making it into an incredible all mountain machine that still has a waist of 96mm. Or the PB&Js, but I've heard those are a softer ski. Don't quote me on that though.

The Vices are stiffer, and have a rocker in them. They're stiff because Moment says you don't need buttery tips if the ski is already flexed. Which I find true.

Then the Jibs are your traditional park ski, but symmetrical. Normal camber, medium flex underfoot, look stiffer in the tips.

And if you want a super fast and stiff ski, look at the Team. It's essentially the Jib, but stiffer and faster, more ideal for competing and pipe.
