well there have been multiple accounts of people complaining about durability with their moments, unlike the FR's

OP, do you want a stiff "comp" ski or a rockered semi stiff ski that is still super stable and playful?

both moment and on3p make great products, you'll be happy with either brand

I'm aware. I just hate when people blandly state "oh _______ sucks" without anything to back it up other than "well I had some and they broke"

It's a known fact that moment skis have a durability issue.

I've broken 3 pairs and have had bindings pull out mulitiple times. Edge cracks, edge pull outs.

And yes that happens on all skis i am aware.


But i don't know, i'm just not a moment fan. Other than their graphics. (Max Louis Miller is the greatest graphic designer in the game IMO)


I've never owned ON3P skis, but from what i've read. Their skis are built to last. and you get what you pay for.

im in the same boat. Broken two pairs. One completely broke the ski, the other ripped out the edge.

Max hill hooked me up with a set of line step-ups. And they have taken more of a beaten then any other ski i have ever used. I hate them, but they are durable as fuck. The stomp on jumps and are pretty nice on rails. but i would not buy them.





I'm looking at on3p's or a set of atomic punx or next season.

Honestly, you can't go wrong. ON3P and Moment both make great skis.

When Moment says that the Team is stiff, they mean it. It's also got way less rocker than the FR. So if you want a stiff ski with a more traditional camber, go with the Team. If you want a more medium flex with more rocker, go with the FR.

Though very biased, I think the bamboo/glass combo in ON3P is a ride that you don't get anywhere else in the industry. Snappy, damp, and powerful, it wrecks havoc in the park.

Exactly, they're so much fun to ski.

I've never skied Moments...and probably never will...It's gonna be hard to go back from ON3Ps.
