I know there have probably been a million threads like this, but i need to know what to buy.
I compete in moguls, big air and pipe and am wondering which will be the best for these three things?
Thanks

prolly volkls, cause they are stiffer and more setup for all mountain. the stls have a very parkish geometry, and a softer flex.

the v-exp's are gonna be softer than the stl's. of those choices i'd say the stl's but that might not be the best choice overall. the karma's are awesome skis for everything but i dont know how good they are in the pipe. i would prolly steer clear of the v-exp's though cause they are way noodly

i skied scratch fs in moguls and big air last year, and they did fine. it really depends on what you do the most. if you are into big air more, and like park, i would get the stls. if you are a hardcore mogul skiier, i would pick up some troublemakers. good in the bumps and in the park.
just because i dont do your stupid school sports doesnt mean im a lost cause

New expressions or old? because that makes the big difference. The expression has completely changed.

i skiied moguls with the expression and the mad_trix (the normal one). the mad_trix is stiffer, and somehow a bit quicker, so i could go faster. and it gave me a better feeling on the jumps.

do not get expressions. they fall apart way to easy, believe it or not.

I've seen several expressions with stress cracks.
Go with the STL

I have expressions and I don't like them. I don't know what about them I don't like, they just don't seem very good.

But I also have volkl Explosives and they are incredible. Definitly not the same level as the expression. So don't base judgement on volkl cause of the expressions.




open up, we're coming inside. What's it feel like to know you're gonna die?

k thanks guys, ive almost made up my mind- ill probably get the STLs, but the only thing thats stopping me is if theyll hold up, i dont care if they suck in the moguls, i just want to know if theyll hold up, ill do the rest(skiing wise)
