get a different brand. id recommend atom punx. They are the lightest skis ive ridden, they are super poppy, really buttery, playful, and they blow moments shitty durability out of the water

Honestly I wish I had some cash to spend. This is the best fucking sale anyone is ever going to see, and they are a decent brand, not some no name company. I would go vices personally

My friend has teams. I had a couple of laps through the park on them and hated them. Mainly because I'm light and they are a stiff ski. I think the jibs are really soft and the vices are in between

I would get the vice, best for jumps and rails and ti comes in like a 184 i think. and what is all this im hearing about durability issues, moments are by far the toughest skis I have ever ridden.

do you want traditional shape or rocker? stiff or medium flex? The team and jib are symmetrical as well, vice isn't. The vice is stiffer than the jib though. team stiffer than the rest. how big do you want to go? 81? all good skis. I am 5'10 and 200lbs and have jibs in a 76. love em. light & fun. no issues. Also used to have jibs in a 81, like the shorter skis better, but just my personal choice.

How are the vices? from this thread, I've gathered that they're average stiffness. Are they light, durable, etc...? I was as well looking at that sale

skis brake if you land on them wrong. pretty sure moments would last longer than any other ski put under the same stresses. thats my experience anyway. every pair i have had i have put through the ringer some of them broke but in an understandable situation. and i can comfortably say that before i rode moments i would go through 3 or 4 pairs of park skis a season now one or 2 get me through a year.
